No. 11 Princeton Takes Down Two Ranked Opponents Out West
September 18, 2021 | Men's Water Polo
LOS ANGELES/MALIBU, Calif. – The No. 11 Princeton Men's Water Polo earned two victories on its West Coast trip, defeating No. 17 Loyola Marymount and No. 10 Pepperdine.
No. 11 Princeton 11, No. 17 Loyola Marymount 10
The Tigers held off a late LMU rally to take down the No. 17 team in the country, 11-10 on the road.
Roko Pozaric and Keller Maloney added hat tricks while Billy Motherway contributed 12 saves in the win.
Loyola Marymount scored the last two goals of the first quarter to take a 3-2 lead after eight minutes. The two squads exchanged tallies in the second frame with the home unit holding a 5-4 lead at the break.
Much like the second quarter, the third quarter was a back-and-forth affair with neither team leading by a goal. Maloney's goal with five seconds to go tied the contest at 7-all. Pozaric and Maloney put the Tigers in front and expanded the team's advantage to three, 10-7 with 6:15 remaining.
Loyola Marymount climbed within one as the clock ticked under four minutes, but Princeton's defense held strong and didn't allow the equalizer.
Goals: Pozaric 3, K. Maloney 3, Mitrovic 2, Caras, Benson, Quinones
Assists: Killion 3, Mitrovic
Saves: Motherway 12
No. 11 Princeton 14, No. 10 Pepperdine 9
A seven-goal second quarter was the difference for Princeton as it defeated the Pepperdine Waves, 14-9.
Vladan Mitrovic, Pierce Maloney and Mason Killion combined for half the Princeton total while Antonio Knez stopped 10 shots and scored a tally in the victory.
In front, 3-2, after the first stanza, the Tigers rolled off a seven-goal frame to secure a 10-goal first half. Wyatt Benson threw in the first goal of the second half to jump ahead by six, but Pepperdine made another run. The Waves registered three straight, setting the score at 11-8 with 7:22 left. The Tigers held the Waves off the board the rest of the way to finish off the day with their second victory.
