Near upset for
polo
Staff reports
Chris Segesman
and Aaron Holloway scored two goals each as the Long Beach
State men's water polo squad gave No.1 USC all it could handle
Saturday before falling to the host Trojans, 7-6, in double
overtime.
Segesman scored
both of his goals in the fourth period, helping the 49ers
wipe out a 4-3 deficit and send the game to overtime tied
at 5-5.
But USC's Predrag
Damjanov and Ivan Babic each scored in the overtime period
and the Trojans held off the 49er for the victory.
The contest was
not only the season opener for both schools, but also a Mountain
Pacific Sports Federation Contest. The 49ers now stand at
0-1 in conference play, USC 1-0.
Nathan Allard and
Kellyn Carlson also scored for LBSU.
The 49ers next
game is against University of Massachusetts Friday in a non-conference
match. Game time is 4 p.m. at the 49er Campus Pool.
