Each goal came from a different player.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cToday was one of those days that we were able to give more playing time to some of the guys that might not play as much,\u201d SJSU head coach <a href=\"https:\/\/sjsuspartans.com\/sports\/mens-water-polo\/roster\/season\/2026\/staff\/gabor-sarusi\">Gabor Sarusi<\/a> said. \u201cEspecially the guys that we want to get to the level we need them to be at the end of the season when we play league games.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of these players, freshman driver <a href=\"https:\/\/sjsuspartans.com\/sports\/mens-water-polo\/roster\/player\/kai-lewis\">Kai Lewis<\/a>, recorded his first hat trick of the season during the match, with the first goal coming off of an assist from sophomore driver <a href=\"https:\/\/sjsuspartans.com\/sports\/mens-water-polo\/roster\/player\/aidan-johnson\">Aidan Johnson<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both players helped push the offense throughout the game, as Johnson recorded 2 points and led the team with 3 assists.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">SJSU had another strong push in the second quarter, taking an 11-2 advantage into halftime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although a strong offense was seen from the Spartans, the team\u2019s defense was visible throughout the matchup, which included 6 saves from freshman goalkeeper <a href=\"https:\/\/sjsuspartans.com\/sports\/mens-water-polo\/roster\/player\/stellen-karkazis\">Stellen Karkazis<\/a>, who played for 3 of the game\u2019s quarters.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt was really exciting to play my first big game,\u201d Karkazis said. \u201c I think I did good. As always, there\u2019s stuff that I need to clean up and keep working, but I think since the start of the season my communication and just awareness of the pool has grown.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Senior center <a href=\"https:\/\/sjsuspartans.com\/sports\/mens-water-polo\/roster\/player\/giancarlo-marquez\">Giancarlo Marquez<\/a> provided another defensive highlight of the match as he drew 4 exclusions against the Bobcats.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although the Spartans were able to maintain their lead and hold back the Bobcats throughout the second half, UC Merced persisted with 4 goals that repeatedly occurred in both the third and fourth quarters.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With the match\u2019s end, the Spartans reached a season-high score of 20 against the Bobcats, with multiple players stepping up to add to the scoreboard. In total, 15 different players earned at least 1 goal throughout the match.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Spartans will next host and kick off the BW Invite against No. 14 UC Santa Barbara at 9 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 3, at the SRAC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Cesar Maya \u2013 Spear Reporter | Junior Driver Zalan Hegedus looks to make a shot during possession (Photo by Marco Munoz \u2013 Spear Photographer) No. 9 San Jose State men\u2019s water polo (6-7, 0-0 WCC) utilized a strong first half to beat UC Merced (0-5, 0-0 WWPA) 20-10 at the Spartan Recreation and Aquatic [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1522,"featured_media":29954,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":true,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"twitterCardType":"","cardImageID":0,"cardImage":"","cardTitle":"","cardDesc":"","cardImageAlt":"","cardPlayer":"","cardPlayerWidth":0,"cardPlayerHeight":0,"cardPlayerStream":"","cardPlayerCodec":"","_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[10,196],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-29952","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sjsu","category-water-polo-mens"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v28.4 (Yoast SEO v28.5) -
