MALIBU, California – Christian Hosea tied his career high with four goals, but the #9 Pepperdine men's water polo team saw its seven-game winning streak come to an end with a 12-10 loss to #6 Pacific on Saturday morning in Golden Coast Conference play.

The Tigers (9-8, 3-0) outdueled the Waves (13-8, 1-1) on the power play, going for 6-for-13 to Pepperdine's 3-for-9.
Â
The final home game of the season also served as Pepperdine's Senior Day.
Â
BIG WAVES
Â
Down 3-2 entering the second quarter, the Waves scored three in a row, one by Tierney to tie it, one by Howerton to give them their first lead, and one by Hosea to make it a two-goal game. But, Pacific scored the final two goals of the half to make it 5-5 at the break.
Â
The Tigers had a big third quarter, outscoring the Waves 6-2. Tied at six after a Howerton goal, Pacific ran off three straight goals, and five of the next six, to make it 11-7 heading into the fourth period. The Waves bounced back and outplayed the Tigers in the final quarter, but ended up two goals short.
