No. 17 Princeton Set To Honor Seniors This Weekend At DeNunzio
November 02, 2018 | Men's Water Polo
PRINCETON, N.J. – The No. 17 Princeton Tigers wrap up the 2018 regular season with two Northeast Water Polo Conference contests vs. the No. 18 St. Francis-Brooklyn Terriers (12 p.m.) and the Iona Gaels (6 p.m.) on Sunday (Nov. 4). Prior to the Iona matchup, the team will honor its senior class.
Princeton 14-10 this season and 4-4 in the NWPC. The Tigers are currently fourth in the conference behind Harvard (7-1), St. Francis-Brooklyn (7-2) and Brown (5-3). Head coach Dustin Litvak's group can climb past Brown with two wins and some help, but can't catch Harvard or St. Francis-Brooklyn.
The Terriers are 8-13 overall. St. Francis-Brooklyn earned a 12-10 victory over Princeton in October despite a hat trick from Miles Cole. The Terriers hold a 21-15 in the series history, however, the Tigers have won five of the last seven matchups. St. Francis-Brooklyn has two 30+ goal scorers in William Lapkin (37) and Djorde Stanic (31).
Iona sits 6-23 in 2018 and 0-9 in the NWPC. The Gaels have won just once on the road. Princeton held off Iona, 11-8, in New Rochelle in October. Keller Maloney registered six points including four helpers in the win. Princeton has never lost to Iona in 28 games. Despite the record, the Gaels boast four 30+ goal scorers, highlighted by Patrick Hudak's 58 tallies. Quinn Lloyd leads the team with 74 points (48 goals, 26 assists).
Matt Payne is making sure his Princeton career comes to a conclusion in tremendous fashion as he leads the squad with 63 goals and 87 points this season. His 63 tallies are six shy of his personal-best. He's sixth all-time (228), 26 short of John Stover's '06 program record of 254.
Princeton has eight players with at least 20 goals this year. Ryan Wilson is the group leader with 38 helpers while his 210 assists are the most ever by a Princeton player. The Class of 2022 has added a lot for the Tigers as Keller Maloney, Wyatt Benson and Mitchell Cooper have combined for 71 goals. Maloney is the only player on the team with at least 20 goals, 20 assists, 20 steals and 20 drawn ejections. Benson leads the group with 62 drawn ejections. Ryan Melosini and Billy Motherway have split the goalie duties, combining for a .517 save percentage.
