Perrone Scores 5 Goals In Road Win
DAVIS– Sophomore attacker Tomas Perrone scored a career high five goals Sunday to lead the No. 4 California men's water polo team to a 19-7 road win over No. 6 UC Davis at Schaal Aquatics Center.
The Golden Bears (6-0) led from the jump thanks to a first quarter hat trick by Perrone, who added four assists on the day to give him a nine-point day. Freshman Ilias Angelopoulos chipped in a pair of first-period goals as well on his way to his first career hat trick.
After winning the first quarter 7-2, Cal went on to score four goals in each of the next three periods while holding the Aggies (7-3) to just two goals in the entire second half. The Bears scored their season-high 19 goals on just 27 attempts and assisted on 12 of them, which led to a season high 31 points.
Defensively sophomore goalkeeper Aran Pina earned seven saves and two steals in his second start of the season. Junior Patrik Kolak collected the team's only two field blocks and added a pair of goals and an assist as well.
The Bears will now await tomorrow's seeding unveiling for next weekend's Overnght MPSF Invitational taking place from Friday to Sunday at Stanford.
