FRESNO, Calif. - The No. 13 Fresno State water polo team earned a dominating 27-5 victory over Fresno Pacific on Friday evening, moving to 9-7 overall and 4-1 at home this season.
Â
Fresno State had 12 goal-scorers, led by Georgia Daly with a career-high six goals on seven shots. Charley Stephens added four goals, Hailey Andress, Marley Garwick and Kira Anderson tallied three goals each, Noa Markovsky had two, and Marit van der Kolk, Riaan Bryant, Caitlyn Mossman, Megan Cranley, Ashley Williams and Katya Aleshina each scored one.
Â
Daly's six goals are the second-most in a game by a Bulldog in program history and just one shy of the all-time record.
Â
Fresno State outshot the Sunbirds 40-27 in the contest, and saw goalkeeper Katelyn Mobley tally four saves while Islay Martin-Hill had seven.
