No. 8 Aggies clip Lancers in WWPA opener

Ido Goldschmidt, University of California-Davis

The Western Water Polo Association season kicked in last weekend, with the Aggies holding on to a 12-10 win at California Baptist. Junior attacker Holden Tamblyn shot 3-for-3 with a steal and a drawn exclusion to lead the offensive charge, while Ido Goldschmidt (Hertzeliya, ISRAEL), Marcus Anderson and Nir Gross (Hod Hasharon, ISRAEL) each contributed two goals apiece. The Lancers scored four of the last five goals in the contest, nearly erasing what had been an 11-6 UC Davis edge in the third quarter.

"Overall, there's a feeling that we still have a lot of work to do," Leyson said, of his team's victory at CBU. "We have moments when we look really good, then we have moments when we don't. It looks like we're really focused at times, then at other times, it looks like we're not. It's a lot of ups and downs. It's kind of baffling, and hard to put a finger on, but it's something we've got to figure out. And that's our job: the coaching staff has to do a good job at helping our guys be the best they can be, and that's our deal right now."

Through 10 games, Goldschmidt leads the Aggies with 20 goals while sophomore Jack Stafford has 18 goals and 21 assists for a team-leading 39 points. The Aggies average 14.5 goals per game, but have also allowed a rate of 10.1 against – the highest since 2014.
