Sophomore driver Dani D'Andrea attempts a shot during the Aztecs' 11-3 victory in an exhibition against Toronto on Feb. 14 at the Aztec Aquaplex.
When a team is down by five early in sports like baseball, water polo or soccer, it does not give the team the best chance to win.
After the first period, No. 25 San Diego State water polo was down 5-0 to No. 14 Princeton.
Despite cutting the lead to one twice, the home team could not find a way to overcome the early beating.
Final score was Tigers 8, Aztecs 6 on March 19 at the Aztec Aquaplex.
