Nicolao Earns 400th Men's Water Polo Victory in Tigers' 17-9 Rout Over Iona
November 01, 2017 | Men's Water Polo
PRINCETON, N.J. – Behind seven combined goals from Jordan Colina and Michael Swart, the No. 14 Princeton Tigers took down the Iona Gaels, 17-9, at DeNunzio Pool on Wednesday evening.
With the win, head coach Luis Nicolao reached the 400-victory milestone for the men's water polo program. He is 400-162 (.712) with the men's team and 442-149 (.748) with the women's squad. In his time at Princeton, Nicolao has made the NCAA Tournament a combined seven times.
In front, 4-2, after the first eight minutes, the Tigers rolled out six tallies in the second frame to take a 10-4 advantage into the intermission. The offense didn't slow down despite the stoppage as it again ran out with six more goals while holding Iona to one in third quarter. Princeton led 15-5 after 24 minutes and cruised to its 20th victory of the season.
The Tigers, at 7-2 in the Northeast Water Polo Conference, remain one game back of the No. 15 St. Francis-Brooklyn Terriers (8-1). The Terriers will come to Princeton on Saturday (Nov. 4). The game will be at 6 p.m. and streamed on the Ivy League Network. Prior the contest, the team will honor the Class of 2018, Vojislav Mitrovic, Jordan Colina, Eric Bowen and Ryan Hammarskjold.
