SANTA CLARA, Calif. — Saturday's non-conference matchup between the Santa Clara University women's water polo team and visiting Fresno Pacific couldn't have been any closer, with the result taking two overtimes to determine, and the host Broncos coming away with a 16-15 double overtime decision at Sullivan Aquatic Center.
Neither team ever led by more than two goals during the six-period affair. The game featured 12 tie scores and three lead changes. Santa Clara (8-14) had one-goal leads with less than a minute remaining in both the fourth period and the first overtime, but Fresno Pacific (9-12) was able to tie it both times with only seconds remaining.
