STOCKTON – The No. 3 California men's water polo team (5-0) defeated No. 9 Pacific (6-2), 17-9, Friday night at Chris Kjeldsen Pool at the Douglass M. Eberhardt Aquatics Center in Stockton, California.
 
The Golden Bears clinched their first win against a ranked opponent this season behind an explosive performance from freshman Tomas Perrone, who led the Bears with a career-high six goals.
 
After an even score (8-8) at the halfway mark, Cal used a dominating second half to pull away en route to holding Pacific to only one goal during that span.
