Grace Harbaugh scores first career goal in Michigan Water Polo’s win at home
#7 Michigan hosted the Wolverine Invitational this weekend at Canham Natatorium.
Easily won it defeating Santa Clara 15-3, #15 Long Beach State 12-9, Iona 14-6 and #22 Bucknell 15-6.
In the Iona game, freshman Grace Harbaugh scored her first career goal. MGoBlueTV caught the reaction of Jack and Jim along with his son Jack.
We were at the Saturday game and saw them there as well as Jim Abbott whose daughter Ella also plays on the team and is a heavy contributor.
Michigan will be back at home at the end of April when we host the CWPA Conference Tournament.

Pretty goal. Lob shot over everyone.

Thanks for the link.
I'm gonna sound like a dick, but that was just a standard goal. What she did well was beat her defender down the pool. Once the goalie came out to contest and lost her legs it was basically an open net. Nicest shot of the clip was at :47. Looks like they were man up and a nice wrap around shot to beat the goalie cross cage.
who here thinks those water polo caps would look better with maize wings on them.....?
Yeah... you'd think that would be a default thing across the department. I'm not in A2 anymore but I remember (and hope they still do) the rowing team even had wings on their blades.
The problem is the caps have to have the player’s number on them. Looks like the wings would have to be under the numbers in most cases.
something like this (with out the face bar...)
I actually was motivated enough about this to look in the rule book to see if that was possible.
Unfortunately it isn't--water polo caps must be a solid color with only the numbers a contrasting color. Oh, well, it was a good idea anyway.
FIFY. See? You don't need to sound like a know-it-all jerk to make your point.

In other news, a lot of other Wolverine water polo players scored a lot of other goals this weekend.
But none of them are the daughter of the football HC or former MLB pitcher, so they won’t be mentioned here.
All that and you didn't list even 1 other name. Must not really matter to you as much as you're portraying it does.
Maddie O'Reilly and Erin Neustrom
Well golly, we all thought a water polo aficionado such as yourself would've already know the goal scorers and assorted particulars.
Here are a couple of links for you to get all the info your little heart desires regarding the Wolverine Invational:
And now we get a glimpse into what Grace probably has to deal with on a daily basis.
You spelled fucktard wrong in your screen name.
Jim Abbott's daughter plays? Water polo has to be a tough sport with only one arm...
edit...ok, ok. It was a joke. A poorly thought out one, and an insensitive one, but just a joke.
It's early but strong contender for dumbest comment of the year.
with only one arm
Life is tough for DutchWolverine with only one brain cell.
I see you went to the C.C.Little school of eugenics.

I normally don't say things like this to people on the board, even when I disagree with them, but I will make an exception for you. You, sir, are a complete and total shithead. You have shit where a brain should be.
That was just NASTY!
She's really made a splash on the roster.
Can she play on the OL or QB or Viper?
I remember Harbaugh being that excited on the sideline for his football teams.
Those were indeed good times.
Can she shoot a 3 reliably? Asking for a coaching friend.
I love women's water polo.
The uniforms are exquisite. . .
This thread is really exposing the bottom of the barrel posters on here.
Fucking YIKES
For someone who stalks everything that is UofM it must crush your soul to not being an elite enough of a student to go there.
Why? I don’t have pictures of campus in my apartment.
I’m a Michigan fan. All I care about is Michigan Athletics. The university being so good academically is nice and all but it doesn’t concern me. We could have middle of the road academics and it wouldn’t change anything for me.
I did my time in academia and am happy to be in the real world. Much prefer it.

That's bullshit.
You're one of the first clowns to run around parroting "online state"... even though, wait for it, Michigan has online classes too.
Great family moment!
What a big year in the pool for all the UM swimming and polo teams.
Leave the kid alone. Let her be a normal college student.
