LA JOLLA, Calif. - Senior driver Nick Arrigo the game-tying goal in the fourth quarter then the game-winner in overtime to lift 10th-ranked UC Davis to a 9-8 win over No. 14 UC San Diego in a Western Water Polo Association men's game at Canyonview Pool Friday evening.

The Tritons took a 7-6 lead with 1:41 remaining in regulation on a goal by Ben Miller, but Arrigo hit the equalizer on the next possession to tie the game and force the overtime. Arrigo then hit the go-ahead with a fraction of a second remaining in the first overtime.
