STOCKTON, Calif. – Looking to defend its West Coast Conference Regular Season Championship, the No. 8 Pacific men's water polo program will play its final home game of the season Sunday at 1 p.m. against No. 12 Cal Baptist at the Eberhardt Aquatics Center.
Â
With a win, Pacific (14-5, 4-1 WCC) would secure its second straight WCC Regular Season crown and lock up the No. 1 seed for the conference tournament. The Tigers are looking to win their fourth championship in four seasons which includes a pair of Golden Coast Conference titles.
Â
Pacific has won seven matches in a row, most recently with a 4-0 weekend at the Julian Fraser Memorial. Freshman
Apostolos Georgaras swept both WCC Player and Newcomer of the Week honors after recording 13 goals, nine assists, 22 points and nine steals in his three appearances.

Borisz Kasa-Gal has netted 50.

Cal Baptist (21-8, 3-1 WCC) is looking to shake-off a 17-13 defeat at LMU on Thursday. The Lancers have won 11 of their last 12 matches. For CBU to win the league, it would need to beat Pacific and also San Jose State (9-6, 3-1 WCC) on Nov. 8.
