LOS ANGELES, Calif.- The Princeton men's water polo team is set to kick off its trip to California with two games on Sunday. The first matchup will come against the No. 2 UCLA Bruins before taking on the Westcliff Warriors.

Sunday - 8:00 PM ET (5:00 PM PT) - Westcliff Warriors
Tigers To Watch
Roko Pozaric continues to close in on the program record for career goals. The senior utility player needs just eight goals to pass John Storver's record of 254. Pozaric is coming off a strong performance through three games at home where he scored eight goals and recorded four steals and three assists.
Pozaric and Gavin Appeldorn scored four goals each in the last meeting between the Tigers and the Bruins. Appeldorn added two assists and two steals in the game.
Kristóf Kovács held No. 18 Brown and MIT to single digit scoring and had a career high five steals against MIT.
History
The Tigers pushed the Bruins to overtime for the first time in program history at the MPSF Overnght Invitational earlier this season. Princeton fell to UCLA 17-16 but the result stands as one of the closest between the two opponents to date.
This will be the first contest between Princeton and Westcliff. This is Westcliff's fourth year of program existence.
