October 03, 2017 | Men's Water Polo
PRINCETON, N.J. – The No. 11 Princeton Tigers will welcome the Wagner Seahawks to DeNunzio Pool on Thursday night (7 p.m.) in a non-conference tilt that will be streamed on the Ivy League Network.
Jordan Colina leads the Tigers with 38 goals and 36 steals while Ryan Wilson is team-leader in points (59) and assists (45). Four different players have scored at least 25 goals for the Tigers. Princeton is 41-21 in sprints this season with Wilson and Colina combining for 29 of those victories. Vojislav Mitrovic is 9-3 in goal with a .569 save percentage and 152 saves in 12 starts for the Tigers.
2017 began for Princeton with a tripleheader at the Navy Open. The Tigers dropped Salem International (21-9), Fordham (12-7), and LaSalle (15-8) before finishing off Navy, 17-11, the next day. Colina was selected as the NWPC Player of the Week after posting 16 points, 11 goals and five assists over the 4-0 weekend.
The Tigers had a 3-1 weekend at the Princeton Invitational the following week. Princeton defeated Chapman (15-6) and Johns Hopkins (9-5) before a victory over Santa Clara (16-9). On the last day of the Invitational, head coach Luis Nicolao's team fell in a close battle vs. No. 4 UCLA in a game shown on ESPNU.
Two weeks later, Princeton went 2-2 at the Mountain Pacific Invitational out in Los Angeles. Nicolao's squad lost a close one to No. 6 Long Beach State, 11-8, on the first day of the tournament before gathering a split the next day. They earned a 12-11 decision over No. 19 Pomona-Pitzer in overtime, but was taken down by No. 7 UC-Santa Barbara, 14-7. Colina's tally with 12 seconds remaining gave the Tigers a 15-14 win over No. 13 UC-San Diego to complete the West Coast trip.
Northeast Water Polo Conference (NWPC) play got started at DeNunzio on Saturday with a closely-contested meeting vs. No. 11 Harvard. Matt Payne's tally with 53 seconds to go proved to be the game-winner. On Sunday, the Tigers scored four consecutive goals in the second half to drop MIT, 13-11, before a 9-8 victory over No. 14 Brown.
Following the matchup vs. Wagner, the Tigers get back into NWPC action with a trip to Iona (3 p.m.) and No. 16 St. Francis-Brooklyn (8 p.m.) next Wednesday.
