Los Angeles, Calif. - The Pacific men's water polo team fell to 0-4 in MPSF play on Oct. 21 with a 16-6 loss to UCLA in Los Angeles, Calif. With the loss, the Tigers fell to 13-14 on the season, while the Bruins advanced to 15-5 on the year and 2-2 in MPSF action with the win.

Junior Mike Struempf (Pleasant Hill, Calif.) led the Tigers with three goals in the loss, while Pacific's other three goals were scored by Duje Kaurloto (Split, Croatia), Hector Lam Jr. (San Diego, Calif.), and Jonathan Pare (Westlake, Calif.). Brian Domecus (Vallejo, Calif.) tallied seven saves in the game, while David Andrus (Houston, Texas) recorded one in relief for the Tigers.

Pacific's final four games of the regular season will all four be home games for the Tigers and each of the four will be match-ups with MPSF teams. Although the Tigers are 0-4 in MPSF games thus far this season, they have yet to play an MPSF game at home this year and they are looking forward to the opportunity.

The Tigers next game will be on Oct. 28, when they take on Long Beach State. They will play UC Irvine on Nov. 3, Stanford on Nov. 4, and USC on Nov. 11. All four games will start at noon and will be played in Stockton, Calif.
