Fresno State Water Polo began its inaugural season this weekend with a 1-3 record at the University of California Santa Barbara Gaucho Invitational.
Day one, on Saturday, brought the ‘Dogs their first victory in program history when they beat California State University Northridge 10-9 in the second half of a doubleheader.
The two teams were tied 5-5 going into the fourth quarter, but Fresno State managed to find a rhythm early in that quarter. The ‘Dogs established a 9-6 lead with just over three minutes left on the clock.
The Matadors rallied back, but the ‘Dogs’ lead proved to be insurmountable.
