Last Saturday, the UCLA Men’s Water Polo team lost their first game of the season when they travelled to UC Irvine. The loss dropped the Bruins to #2 in this week’s CWPA Poll. Southern Cal, which had been number 2 is the new #1 team.
It was a hard-fought game between UCLA and the Anteaters.
UC Irvine got on the scoreboard first when Fynn Schuetze scored with 3:16 left in the first quarter. Just 23 seconds later, Luke Henriksson tied it up for the Bruins, but Schuetze put the Anteaters ahead with 33 seconds left in the quarter to give UCI a 2-1 lead to end the first quarter.
