No. 8 Men's Water Polo Completes Perfect Conference Regular Season Mark
November 06, 2022 | Men's Water Polo
CAMBRIDGE – The No. 8 Men's Water Polo team wrapped up the regular season undefeated in conference play behind two wins on Sunday.
The Tigers last went unbeaten in conference matchups during the regular season in 2015. Princeton went on to win the CWPA Championship that year.
No. 8 Princeton 10, No. 15 Harvard 7
Even at 2-all, goals from Roko Pozaric and Yurian Quinones gave Princeton a 4-2 lead after the first quarter. The Tigers led by three goals twice in the second frame but took a 6-4 lead into halftime.
Harvard opened the second half with a goal, but tallies from Pierce Maloney and Logan McCarroll extend the road squad's advantage back to three.
The Crimson made one more push, closing the gap back to one, 8-7, with half the fourth quarter to go, but consecutive goals from Roko Pozaric finished off the scoring.
Goals: Pozaric 4, Coloma, Neapole, Quinones, K. Maloney, P. Maloney, McCaroll
Saves: Knez 9
No. 8 Princeton 22, MIT 5
The MIT Engineers scored a goal to cut its deficit to one, 5-4, with 32 seconds to go in the first quarter.
They did not score again until 6:10 left in the third quarter.
Princeton had scored eight straight times during that stretch. Princeton wasn't threatened during the regular season finale. Its 22 goals are tied for the fourth-most in program history for a single game.
Goals: Caras 6, Hovsmith 3, Sekulic 3, Ohl 2, McCarroll 2, P. Maloney, Quinones, Coloma, Neapole, Molloy, Rotenberg
Saves: Temkin 14
