October 03, 2018 | Men's Water Polo
BROOKLYN, N.Y. – The St. Francis-Brooklyn Terriers held off the Princeton Tigers, 12-10, at the St. Francis College Aquatic Center on Wednesday night.
The home team did not give up a goal in the first quarter, taking an 1-0 advantage after eight minutes. St. Francis pushed forward with three of the next four tallies, improving its lead to three, 4-1, with 3:33 left in the first half. The Tigers trailed 4-2 after two quarters.
A close conference battle, Princeton climbed within one on four separate occasions in the third stanza, but could not tie the score. After the Tigers registered the first goal of the fourth frame, St. Francis posted the next two, setting the contest at 10-7 as the clock ticked under five minutes. The two Northeast Water Polo Conference foes exchanged goals before Ryan Wilson's tally with 27 seconds to go got the Tigers within striking distance, 11-10. The Terriers put the game away with an empty netter.
