Stockton, Calif. - The Pacific men's water polo team improved their record to 4-0 at the Pacific Invitational on Oct. 7, with a 12-7 win over West Valley. With the win the Tigers have won seven of their last eight games.

Senior Andy Skora (San Clemente, Calif.) got the Tigers off to an early start in the contest as he scored back to back goals to give the Tigers early control of the game. With the addition of two goals scored by Kenny Yamamoto (San Juan Capistrano, Calif.) and Duje Kaurloto (Split, Croatia), the Tigers would go up by four early in the first period, and from there they would never look back.

Skora went on to score twice more to lead all scorers in the contest with four goals. Yamamoto also added another in the game and Dragan Bakic (Split, Croatia) added two more of his own in the third quarter, as the four seniors combined to score nine of Pacific's 12 goals total on the day.

Other scorers for the Tigers included Joey Rossi (Ceres, Calif.), Will Milcovich (Walnut Creek, Calif.), and Jonathan Pare (Westlake, Calif.). Rossi, Milcovich, and Pare each scored once in the Tigers' win over West Valley.

The Pacific water polo team's next game of the Pacific Invitational will be against Harvard at 4:40 p.m. The game will be played at Delta Junior College.
