STOCKTON, Calif. -- The No. 14 Pacific men's water polo team ran their record to 4-2 on the season with an 11-7 non-conference victory over No. 11 UC Davis (3-3) on Sunday, Sept. 11, at Chris Kjeldsen Pool.

Three Tigers notched three goals apiece, as Pacific exploaded for six goals in the final period of play to erase a two goal deficit. UC Davis saw a 3-2 lead after a period of play evaporate as Clint McLaughlin (El Cajon, Calif.) coverted on two penalty shots, which tied the score at four at the half. The Aggies scored two goals in the third period to the Tigers' one, then added the first goal of the fourth period to take a 7-5 lead, before the six straight goals that gave Pacific the victory

C. McLaughlin, Matt Turnbull (Act, Austrailia) and Kenny Yamamoto (San Juan Capistrano, Calif.) each recorded three goals, with Turnbull also adding four steals, an assist and a kick-out drawn. Goalkeeper Marko Popovic (Belgrade, Serbia) recorded six saves, three steals, and two assists.
