UCLA tops Anteaters

Junior Brett Ormsby scored five goals to lead No. 4 UCLA past

eighth-ranked UC Irvine, 10-7, in Mountain Pacific Sports Federation

men’s water polo at the Anteater Aquatics Complex Saturday.

Junior Josh Hewko and freshman Chris Pulido added two goals each

as the Bruins improved to 16-5 overall and 5-1 in the MPSF. UCLA has

won 10 of its last 11 games, including four straight.

The Bruins built a 7-3 halftime lead on the strength of two

first-half goals each from Pulido, Ormsby and Hewko.

UCLA led 9-5 after three periods before UCI staged a brief rally

with back-to-back, power-play goals in the fourth quarter by junior

Cameron Bassett and freshman Tim Hutten to cut the margin to 9-7.

Ormsby closed out the scoring with an extra-man goal with 52

seconds remaining.

Junior goalie Joe Axelrad had nine saves for UCLA, while sophomore

Joe Wynne had six stops for the Anteaters (10-13, 2-4 in the MPSF).

Hutten led UCI with two goals.

UCLA improved to 16-5, 5-1.

The Anteaters host No. 5 Pepperdine today at noon.
