Air Force Falls At #17 Santa Clara

Air Force men's water polo (13-18, 1-5 WCC) fell to #17 Santa Clara, 23-13, in a West Coast Conference game Friday afternoon at The Sullivan Aquatic Center in Santa Clara, Calif. Sophomore Jack Richards led the Falcons with three goals and four points.

After playing to within one goal down at 4-3 after the first quarter of play, the Falcons went cold in the second quarter. The Broncos went on a 6-0 run to lead 10-3 at halftime.

The Falcons got its offense on track in the second half, scoring five goals in both the third and fourth quarters. Unfortunately, the big first-half deficit was too big a hill to climb.

Richards led the Falcon offense with three goals and one assist. Senior Kaito Ham, sophomore Tom Leggett and freshman Dante Nocetti followed with three goals each.

Freshman Jay Pyle started in goal, recording four saves. Luca Smith played the second half, notching two saves.

Air Force returns to action Sunday, Nov. 17, with its final regular season game at #13 San Jose State.
