The UCSD Men's Water Polo team had an outstanding weekend at the first tournament of the year on October 3 and 4th, hosted by UCLA. The opening match against University of San Diego was shaky because it was the first game of the season, but UCSD came through with the 9-5 win. Later in the day UCSD upset UC Santa Barbara with a 9-6 victory, thanks largely in part to a strong finish.

On the second day UCSD handled SDSU with a 9-4 victory, but ended up losing 11-14 against host UCLA in the last match of the weekend for the Tritons. With a largely new roster and untested squad, UCSD had a very successful weekend under the guidance of new head coach Robin Bregman. The Tritons will be back in action the 17th and 18th of October at UC Santa Barbara.
