No. 6 Pacific Picks Up Third-Straight Win in 12-10 Win Over No. 9 Pepperdine

Malibu, Calif. - The No. 6 Pacific water polo team extended its winning streak to three games with a 12-10 win over host No. 9 Pepperdine on Saturday. 

The Tiger attack was led by a pair of three-goal efforts by Matthew Hosmer and Jeremie Cote. The three goals by Hosmer match a season-high, who also had three goals against Stanford on Sept. 4. 
 
Djorde Stanic had four assists and Reuel D'Souza added three assists to go along with a goal. Cote also had an assist to go along with his three goals. 
 
Goalkeeper John Hedges had six saves in cage for the win.
