THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. – Cal Lutheran men's water polo (10-10, 3-5 SCIAC) outlasted the Occidental Tigers (9-16, 4-3 SCIAC) in a 10-8 duel on Wednesday night. 

In a season that started 1-4, the Kingsmen have gone 9-6 since. 

The first period was all Cal Lutheran, as a pair of goals from Jack Bradbury and one from Levi Cook saw the Kingsmen up 3-0 after one. 

A trio of Tiger goals saw the score evened at 4, but four goals by four Kingsmen in the last two-and-a-half minutes of the half sent the game into the break with an 8-4 Cal Lutheran advantage. 

All five goals scored in the third period were scored in back-and-forth fashion, as Occidental scored with one second on the clock to send the game to the fourth period with Cal Lutheran up 10-7. 

That was all she wrote for the Kingsmen offense, but goalie Jaeger Gonzales held the line, only allowing one goal in the fourth period. Gonzales had a monster game, totaling a season-high 14 saves (.636%) while adding four steals and an assist.

The win breaks a two game losing streak for the Kingsmen. 

Cal Lutheran is back in action on Saturday, Nov. 1, when it will honor its seven seniors before the team's contest against Caltech.
