October 28, 2021 | Men's Water Polo

PRINCETON, N.J. – The No. 11 Princeton Tigers head on the road for three Northeast Water Polo Conference (NWPC) contests this weekend.

Princeton takes on No. 11 Harvard (9 a.m.) and MIT (7:30 p.m.) on Saturday before a battle at Brown on Sunday (3 p.m.). The Tigers took down Brown and MIT but suffered a loss to Harvard earlier this year.

Head coach Dustin Litvak went 3-3 on its second West Coast trip, earning wins over Santa Clara, No. 19 Air Force and Biola. Princeton finished the non-conference portion of its schedule at 15-5 with seven victories over nationally ranked opponents.

The Tigers are led by Roko Pozaric (52) and Keller Maloney (49) in scoring while they've produced 32 assists each. Maloney has collected 126 goals and 109 assists in his career. He sits sixth all-time in career helpers and is 29 goals shy of moving into the top 10 in program history.

Other contributors include George Caras, who was recently named NWPC Rookie of the Week, and his 29 tallies with Mason Killion (26), Wyatt Benson (24), Mitchell Cooper (22), Vladan Mitrovic (21), Yurian Quinones (19), Joan Coloma (15), Pierce Maloney (10) and Ryan Neapole (10). The Tigers are averaging over 12 goals per contest.

In goal, Princeton has a solid 1-2 combo with Billy Motherway and Antonio Knez. Motherway is 9-1 in 10 starts with .547 save percentage while Knez has 10 wins this year and 132 stops.
