The UCSD men’s water polo team won two games last weekend in the UC Santa Cruz SlugFest tournament in Santa Cruz to remain undefeated this year.

In their first game against the Massachusetts Institute of Technology the Tritons romped to a 22-5 pounding of MIT.

Senior Brett Allan scored five goals and fellow co-captain Jonathan Samuels added three. Freshmen Steven Jendrusina and Jonathan Hopkins each netted three goals as well, while junior Bryon Spicer and senior Vladimir Djapic each contributed two goals. Freshman Kevin Smoker, junior Paul Motschall, sophomore Matt Ellis and freshman Nate Cooper each added a goal apiece.

UCSD pulled away in the second and third quarters, in which they outscored their opponents 9-2 and 8-1, respectively.

In their second game the Tritons were actually given a little competition by UC Davis, but it wasn’t enough to disrupt UCSD’s 7-5 victory over the Aggies.

Allan once again led the Tritons with three goals while Hopkins, Motschall, Ellis and freshmen Travis Boettner rounded out the scoring for the Tritons.

UC Davis hung tough despite being outscored 2-1 in the first three quarters. The Aggies attempted a comeback in the fourth quarter when they outscored UCSD 2-1 but remained three goals short of an upset.

With these two victories the Tritons, ranked ninth in the nation, improved to a perfect 8-0 for the season.
