The San Diego State water polo alumni exemplified the motto “Aztec for Life” as they broke a five-game losing streak by defeating the seventh-ranked SDSU water polo team 14-13 in an overtime slugfest. The SDSU alumni were led to victory by former Montezuma Mesa standout Amber Prestegard as she found the back of the net a game-high seven times. Current senior captain Amber Pezzolla dominated at the visitor end by putting away five goals and corner-stoning the current Aztec offense.

Sophomore left-handed attacker Kelli Boling struck gold as she found the upper left corner of the goal on a walk-in perimeter shot. However, former two-meter guard Leanne Ford, class of 2012, sealed the deal for the alumni as she fired home a clutch goal in the waning minutes of sudden death overtime.

The Lady Aztecs will travel north up the Interstate-15 to Riverside to compete in the Lancer Mini Invite #1 hosted by Cal Baptist University. SDSU will face off against California State University San Bernardino at noon on Saturday followed by a showdown at 4:30 p.m. with CSU Bakersfield.
