No. 9 Men's Water Polo Extends Win Streak To Eight With Wins over No. 20 Navy and Wagner
September 25, 2021 | Men's Water Polo
PRINCETON, N.J. – The No. 9 Princeton Tigers expanded its winning streak to eight with two more victories over the No. 20 U.S. Navy Midshipmen and the Wagner Seahawks at DeNunzio Pool on Saturday afternoon.
No. 9 Princeton 11, No. 20 U.S. Navy 8
The Midshipmen held the Tigers off the scoreboard for the first 11:03 of game action, racing out to a four-goal cushion. Princeton climbed back within two before the intermission and rallied with the first five tallies of the second half to flip the game into a 7-4 advantage. Princeton held off every Navy push, scoring a goal each time the road squad cut the deficit to two. Head coach Dustin Litvak's unit used a balanced scoring attack in the contest with seven different players registering a goal. Billy Motherway finished with 16 stops in goal for the Tigers in the win.
Goals: Quinones 2, Mitrovic 2, Pozaric 2, Caras 2, Rotenberg, Coloma, Killion, K. Maloney
Assists: K. Maloney 3, Pozaric 2, Neapole, Cooper, Killion, Mitrovic, Quinones
Saves: Motherway 16
No. 9 Princeton 17, Wagner 11
The home squad ran off five goals in the first quarter, jumping ahead by four. Princeton's offense hardly slowed down, corralling nine goals in the first 16 minutes, securing a 9-3 halftime advantage. The Tigers expanded their lead to double-digits, 13-3, and were never threatened the rest of the way. Eight different players scored a goal for the Tigers.
