Stockton, Calif. - For the second consecutive day, the Princeton men's water polo team split its pair of games at the Nor Cal Tournament, hosted by Pacific. Princeton won its morning game 10-9 over UC Davis in overtime and dropped its afternoon contest to Long Beach State 10-7.
In the opener UC Davis held a two-goal edge at halftime, but a three-goal Tiger third quarter gave the Tigers the lead by a goal entering the fourth quarter. Davis scored three times in that quarter to Princeton's two which caused an overtime session in which the Tigers scored twice to post a 10-9 win. Reid Joseph and Dan Stover led the scoring with three goals apiece, while Peter Sabbatini made nine saves.
