SANTA CLARA, Calif. - Fifteenth ranked Santa Clara men's water polo (15-12; 6-3 WWPA) wrapped up the Rodeo Tournament with a pair of wins against Bucknell and Harvard. The Broncos finished the tournament with a 4-1 record. Michael Wishart set the all-time Santa Clara record for goalkeeper blocks in the second game of the day.

"Obviously we had a rough start to the tournament on Friday but we played two good, close games on Saturday and today we played even better," said Bronco head coach Keith Wilbur.

The Broncos won their first game of the day against Bucknell by a score of 13-6. The offense was led by David Guibord who scored a personal season-high three goals.
