Aggies Drop Road Rematch To Cardinal

Score: UC Davis 12, Stanford 18
Location: Stanford, Calif. (Avery Aquatics Center)
Record: UC Davis 9-10, Stanford 11-4
  
The short story: A hat trick from redshirt sophomore Thomas Kiesling led UC Davis men's water polo in a 12-18 loss to the Stanford Cardinal on Sunday, Oct. 19.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
  • After Stanford got on the board first, Andrew Hitchcock picked up where he left off on Friday with his first of the day.
  • Two minutes later, Kiesling found the back of the net for his first, but the Cardinal struck back with four straight goals, ending the period up 5-2.
  • Stanford opened the second quarter with another pair of goals, but Kiesling responded with two of his own to secure a first-half hat trick and put his team within three.
  • William Fosselman was the next Aggie to score, making the score 5-8, but the Cardinal found the back of the net one more time with 14 seconds left in the half to put them up four.
  • After seeing the home team open the second half with a goal, Davis went on a heater, securing a 3-0 run with goals from Timothy Kerr, Hitchcock, and Oleg Shatskikh to come within two.
  • A Stanford response put them up three, but freshman Oriol Viñas found the back of the net for his first.
  • Stanford would score two more in the final three minutes of the third to enter quarter four up 13-9.
  • Fosselman, Viñas, and Will Stryker made up the scoring for the Aggies in the fourth, but five goals from the Cardinal made the difference, giving Davis a 12-18 defeat.
UP NEXT: UC Davis heads back down the coast next weekend for their third conference game against UC San Diego on Saturday, Oct. 25. The matchup against the Tritons will be streamed live on ESPN+.
