FRESNO, Calif. - The Fresno State water polo team got its 2023 season underway on Saturday hosting the Bulldog Fest at the Aquatics Center falling to No. 7 Michigan, 13-9 and No. 5 UC Irvine, 16-9.
Fresno State (0-2) saw freshman Hailey Andress lead the 'Dogs with four goals against the Wolverines with Daphne Guevremont chipping in three. Brooke Ochoa and Kaitlin Howarth added one apiece.
In the nightcap versus the Anteaters, Guevremont and Jillian Schultz led the Bulldogs with two goals apiece and the 'Dogs added single goals from Andress, Ochoa, Howarth and freshmen Ashley Williams and Alice Johnson.
How It Happened vs. No. 7 Michigan
The Wolverines took a quick 4-2 lead after the opening quarter and led 8-5 at halftime.
A pair of goals by Guevremont and another one from Andress cut Michigan's lead down to one with 5:43 to play in the fourth quarter.
The Wolverines responded with three straight goals to take back a four-goal advantage as one final goal from Guevremont was the final score of the contest from the 'Dogs.
How It Happened vs. No. 5 UC Irvine
The second contest of the day for the Bulldogs saw Fresno State get off to a slow start trailing 4-1 after the opening quarter and 9-2 at the break.
AÂ 4-2 run by the 'Dogs, with goals from Guevremont, Schultz, Ochoa & Howarth, got the 'Dogs back within five, but five of the next six goals went to UC Irvine for a nine-point lead as goals from Williams and Johnson in the final two minutes closed out the contest.
