Iona Water Polo Falls To Ranked Princeton

NEW ROCHELLE, NY - The Iona University men's water polo team put up a competitive fight against nationally ranked and a conference foe Princeton, but ultimately fell in a high-scoring contest, 20–13.

Graduate student Pavle Musikic and junior Matthew Mischlich led Iona's attack with three goals each, combining for nearly half of the Gaels' total scoring output. Sophomore Luka Nastic added a pair of goals, while Jayden Arana, Carter Williamson, Hugh Coyle, Ryan Tannus, and Rastko Jevdjovic each tallied once to round out a well-distributed offensive effort.

Iona was 7-for-14 on power-play opportunities, showing strong efficiency in man-up situations. The Gaels also drew 14 exclusions, creating numerous chances to capitalize.

In goal, Aleksandar Slakovic anchored the Gaels' defense, facing a relentless Princeton offense that saw 13 different players score, Slakovic recorded multiple key saves including a couple five-meter penalties. He made 12 saves on the day and picked up two steals. 

The Gaels return to action on Saturday with a tough Northeast Water Polo Conference matchup at home against Harvard, scheduled for a 9 am start and then in the afternoon will battle MIT at 4 pm.
