San Diego State water polo was defeated by UC San Diego, 9-5, during the Harper Cup on April 20 at the Aztec Aquaplex.
The Aztecs could not get their shots to fall despite taking 13 attempts in the first half, while the Tritons scored six times.
“We got into a couple of bad swings with calls that didn’t go our way, both offensively and defensively that resulted in a two-goal swing,” head coach Carin Crawford said. “Teams really thrive on those kinds of runs and UCSD exploited those today. It was just too little, too late.”
The Tritons started the game on an 8-0 run before the Scarlet and Black finally scored late in the third period.
