Huron vs MonroeOctober 2nd, 2014





The Ann Arbor Huron boys water polo team defeated rival Ann Arbor Pioneer 9-6 in game one of the Huron Invite. Ann Arbor Huron’s Holden Tamblyn scored three times, while Eli Cohen added two himself.

The game took an interesting turn when Gottliebsen received a yellow card for intruding on the referee’s personal space. Both schools know each other well, and the intensity of the game reflected that.

The game was pretty back and forth in the first half,” Huron coach Mike Gottliebsen said. “But we had a nice set of counter-attacks. Our goalie made a few good saves to break up Pioneers counter-attack. We had great team defense and ball movement.”

Friday’s game was a rematch, as both teams played Wednesday in a 7-4 victory for Pioneer. Huron and Pioneer entered today’s matchup ranked third and second in the state, respectively.
