Senior Jesus Aguirre led Monmouth's scoring at the Mid-Atlantic Water Polo Conference Tournament held in Erie, Pa., but even his three-goal output in Sunday's finale couldn't propel the Scots in a narrow loss.

Playing the 9 a.m. match Sunday morning, the Scots were clipped by Washington and Jefferson 8-7. Monmouth had closed the gap on the Presidents since a 16-11 late September loss. W&J opened up a 2-1 lead in the first quarter before the Scots roared back with three straight goals. Aguirre netted his second goal of the game, Jared Hankinson - named to the All-Tournament team - and Joseph Addison each scored their first of two goals as Monmouth won the second quarter 3-0 to take a 4-2 lead into halftime. The Presidents turned the tables on the Scots in the third quarter, outscoring Monmouth 4-1 for a 6-5 advantage. Trailing in the final eight minutes, the Scots knotted it at 7-7 when Tommy Schneider fed Aguirre for his third goal of the match and 10th of the weekend, but W&J slipped in the game-winner with less than a minute left on the clock.  

The weekend had opened with the Scots meeting McKendree for the third time this season. The Bearcats raced out to an 8-2 first quarter lead and took a 23-8 final to offset a four-goal effort from Aguirre. 

Monmouth then faced Connecticut College Saturday afternoon, a team the Scots had lost to by five in late September. Kyle Jones turned in a weekend-high 15 saves, but the Camels came out on top of a 17-8 score. Aguirre and Hankinson had given Monmouth a 2-0 lead in the first quarter and goals by Moaddeli and another by Hankinson on his way to a three-goal game made it 4-1 after one. Connecticut fired back with a five-goal second quarter outburst to tie the game at 6-6 heading into the intermission. The Camels then outscored the Scots 11-2 in the second half to hang a loss on Monmouth. 

Aguirre wrapped up his final campaign leading the Scots with 31 goals this season giving him 69 for his career to rank fourth all-time. Jones, a sophomore, posted 144 saves to move atop the career list with 305 saves in his first two seasons.
