Cal Maritime Men's Water Polo
 

Keelhaulers Qualify for Conference Championships

The Cal Maritime Men's water polo team traveled to UC Davis to compete in the Pacific Coast Cross-Overs held in Davis, Ca.  The Keelhaulers went 2-2 over the weekend.

The Keelhaulers currently possess a record of 4-4 in conference and have qualified to compete for the conference championships held in San Luis Obispo at Cal Poly. Out of 16 teams, CMA is seeded in the eight spot.

On Saturday, Oct 18th, Cal Maritime saw action against the Trojans of USC and the Tritons of UC San Diego. Game one was with a very talented USC team but came up short as CMA prevailed 14 to 12.  The second contest of the day matched CMA with UC San Diego. A 13 to 6 losing effort was over-shadowed by a poor shooting performance by the Keelhaulers, missing 15 shots on-goal.

On Sunday, Oct 19th, The Keelhaulers were short handed due to a class conflict with some of the student-athletes.  While three Keelhaulers attended a fire fighting class, Coach Tiger had to lean on his bench to fill in the holes.  Game three was with an improved St. Mary's College, but CMA came out strong and the shooting was much improved earning a 21-9 victory.  In the final game of the weekend, the Keelhaulers had another opportunity to play Chico State, a squad that boasts a roster of over 30.  The game was tied after the first quarter 3-3, and at the half Cal Maritime was down by a goal with the score 6-5.  Chico's size strength eventually wore down the Keelhaulers, and the final score ended up 13-6.

Ben Gomez had an excellent weekend in the goal, averaging 11 saves a game.

Eric Macey led all scorers with 9 goals.
Sean Baptista and freshman Andrew Gonzales netted 7 goals each.
Freshman Adam Ragus scored 5.
Josh Knight had 3.
Freshman Henry Hendrix had 2.
John Dabelich, David Prater and Paul Casken each scored 1.
