Julian Fraser Memorial, CWPA Division II, III Tourneys Highlight Week 8 Slate

Week 8 of collegiate men’s water polo action began on Wednesday night with a handful of contests, three involving ranked teams.

#16 Fordham squeaked out a 12-11 overtime win over Wagner with help from hat tricks by Jake Miller-Tolt, Tristen Knoflick and Oscar Nomura. Wagner led 5-4 at halftime and 7-6 heading into the fourth quarter, but Fordham’s Phillip Wang notched an extra-man goal with 18 seconds left in regulation to tie the game at 10 and send it to overtime. Wagner scored just once in overtime, while Fordham managed two scores, with the game winner from Nomura coming with 1:08 remaining in the second extra period.

RV Whittier got a seven-goal effort from Eric Borunda in its 18-8 win over La Verne, while #19 Pomona-Pitzer saw two players – Noah Sasaki and Keegan Coleman – score hat tricks in a 16-12 win at Occidental.
