Sagehens Close Out So Cal Tournament With Losses To LBSU, Santa Clara

Long Beach, Calif. - The Pomona-Pitzer Men's Water Polo team completed play at the So Cal Invitational with a 13-7 loss to No. 13 Long Beach State and a 14-5 loss to No. 15 Santa Clara on Sunday.

With the losses, the Sagehens slip to 1-12 on the season against a brutal schedule that has included 12 defeats against teams in the top 15 in the nation and a win over No. 17 Navy.

Long Beach State jumped out quickly to a 6-1 lead at the end of the first quarter in the first match of the day. The 49ers had nine different goal scorers to take a 9-3 lead at the break, before the Sagehens battled tough after intermission. Junior Cody Moore (San Dimas, Calif.) scored his third goal to get Pomona-Pitzer as close as 12-7 in the fourth quarter before the score ended up 13-7. 

Sophomore Tyler Hill (Lafayette, Calif. - pictured) had a strong performance in goal in the second half, tallying seven saves and allowing only four goals.

Against Santa Clara, the Sagehens got off to another slow start and trailed 8-2 at the break. Five different players scored goals for Pomona-Pitzer, including Stephen Vint (El Cajon, Calif.), Jason Cox (Arnold, Md.), Travis Larsen (Rolling Hills Estates, Calif.), Jarrod Gaut (Irvine, Calif.), and Jaron Moler (Carmichael, Calif.).

Daley Meistrell and Patrick Weiss had three goals apiece to lead the Broncos.

The Sagehens return to action next weekend when they co-host the Claremont Convergence, facing Chapman and Fordham on Friday and George Washington and Vanguard on Saturday.
