Marcus Anderson and Eric Martel each turned hat tricks as No. 9 UC Davis set a men’s program record for margin of victory in a 24-2 Western Water Polo Association decision over Fresno Pacific at Schaal Aquatic Center on Saturday.

The Aggies improve to 17-5 for the year and 5-0 in WWPA games. The Sunbirds fall to 6-15 overall and 0-5 in conference.

The previous record for margin of victory came in a 23-4 win over George Washington at the 2016 Santa Clara Rodeo tournament. The 24 total goals is tied for second in program history, trailing only the school-record 25 during a Sept. 4, 1993, home game with Loyola Marymount. School records date back to the 1993 season.

UCD returns to action for a WWPA road trip at Loyola Marymount (Thursday) and UC San Diego (Saturday) next week.

The Aggies improve to 13-11 overall and 5-6 in league matches. The Matadors slip to 10-13 for the year and 4-7 in Big West play.

UCD returns home to host Cal State Fullerton on Thursday — then launches a new tradition with the Gary Colberg Tribute Match on Saturday against UC Riverside. The late Colberg was a former director of sports clubs and intramurals at UCD and a longtime, respected volleyball official.
