SANTA CLARA, Calif. – PJ McDonough and Logan Mena each posted three goals, including one each late in the fourth quarter, to lift California Baptist to a 15-13 win over Santa Clara men's water polo on Thursday.
Angel Sanchez also had three goals for the Lancers (10-12, 2-2) who scored 4 of 6 times on the power play and got 14 saves from goaltender Gabe Thorne.
Adam Low scored three times and Patrick Kirk, Jack Rottman and Arvin Bahia each had two for the Broncos (8-9, 0-4) in the first of five straight games at home in a four-day span.
