USAF ACADEMY, Colo. - Air Force men's water polo (17-4) defeated Augustana 19-13 in Sunday action at the Rare Air Invite at the USAFA Cadet Natatorium. The Falcons went 4-0 for the weekend at the invite and extend their win streak to eight games.
The trio of Grant Snyder, Ian Christie and Jake Dixon combined for 16 goals to lead Air Force. Snyder scored six goals to go with two assists. Christie finished with nine points on five goals and four assists. Dixon recorded five goals. Luca Smith recorded eight saves in goal for the win.
The Falcons went ahead 4-2 after one quarter of play. Air Force went on to score six goals in the second to take a 10-5 lead at the half. The Falcons scored six more in the third to go up 16-7.
"We played well today and all weekend," head coach Ryan Brown said. "This game showed a lot of what we learned throughout the weekend and it was a good team effort. Making extra passes was the key to us getting points today. We got a lot of players good minutes this weekend. We look to clean up a couple things this week in practice as we head into next weekend against some good competition."
Air Force returns to action next weekend at the Troyer Tournament, Sept. 30-Oct. 1 in Pomona and Claremont, Calif.
