PRINCETON, N.J. -- The No. 18 Harvard men's water polo team dropped a pair of top-20 match-ups to No. 11 San Jose State and No. 17 Santa Clara at the Princeton Invitational on Saturday. The Crimson fell by scores of 13-9 and 13-11 respectively and dropped to 2-7 overall with all seven losses coming to ranked opponents.

In the first game of the day, Harvard trailed the Spartans 8-7 after the third, but SJSU finished the game outscoring the Crimson 5-2 in the fourth to take the win. Sophomore Connor Kim (Los Angeles, Calif.) and first-year Clay Carrington (Menlo Park, Calif.) led the Harvard offense with two goals apiece in the opener. Senior goalie Oliver Price (La Jolla, Calif.) made a season-high 17 saves.

The fourth quarter proved to be the difference maker in the nightcap against Santa Clara. Harvard led 9-8 heading into the final frame, but the Broncos outscored the Crimson 5-2 in the fourth to come-from-behind and steal the result. First-year Geoff Slutzky (Newport Beach, Calif.) netted a hat trick, while Kim added a second two-goal performance for the day. Freshman goalie Jonas Ransford (Newport Beach, Calif.) got the start in net and made eight saves.
