SANTA CLARA, Calif. - Cody Ferguson scored four times, Blake D'Souza had the late tying goal and Matt Peterson tallied three goals, including the game-winner, in Santa Clara men's water polo's season-opening 11-10 victory over San Jose State on Sunday.
Ary Kamen's goal with 4:53 left gave the Spartans (0-4) a 10-8 lead, but the Broncos took over from there.
On the ensuing possession Peterson hit the back of the net and D'Souza scored the tying goal less than one minute later.
A defensive stop set up the game-winner as Peterson got free on a counterattack and despite being hounded by two defenders fired shot from about six meters out with 1:07 remaining that got past goalie Noah Pendleton.
