HAYWARD, Calif. – Cal State East Bay dropped an 11-10 overtime decision at Pioneer Pool to Cal State Monterey Bay in both team's Western Water Polo Association (WWPA) opener. Julia Charlesworth, Breanna Ritter, Allison Zell, and Ka'iliponi McGee scored two goals each to lead the East Bay offense.

Neither squad led by more than two goals throughout, and the teams were either tied or within a goal of each other at each quarter break and the two overtime frames. Cal State Monterey Bay (1-8, 1-0 WWPA) scored in the opening minute of both overtime periods to take a two-goal lead that it would not relinquish.

The Monterey Bay defense consistently dropped a field player to a post forcing mostly outside shots from the East Bay half tank offense.

Only one goal was scored courtesy of 6-on-5 chances. The Pioneers were shutout (0-for-3) and the Otters converted just 1-of-8 in the game.
