September 08, 2017 | Men's Water Polo
PRINCETON, N.J. – The No. 11 Princeton Tigers defeated the Chapman Panthers, 15-6, and the Johns Hopkins Blue Jays, 9-5, at DeNunzio Pool on Friday evening to improve their record to 6-0. The Tigers will take on Santa Clara tomorrow at 11:15 a.m.

Princeton ended the game on a six-goal run.
During that stretch, Chapman was held scoreless for almost 10 minutes.
Nine different Tigers scored in the game.

Princeton and Chapman had an evenly played first half that featured 11 goals, five lead changes and four ties. The Tigers never trailed, but couldn't pull away, taking a 6-5 advantage into the intermission. Neither team scored in the final four minutes of the second quarter.
The Tigers looked to have pulled away, posting the first three goals of the second half, but a tally from the Panthers set the contest at 9-6 with 1:47 remaining in the third stanza.
