After flying out to Colorado Springs, the Concordia University Irvine men's water polo team was looking to soar past the Falcons Saturday afternoon at the Air Force Academy.
 
However the Falcons had other plans and cruised to a 19-11 victory at high altitude.
 
Eagles sophomore Dan Maleski put the Green and Gold on the board when he tallied a goal late in the first quarter.
 
CUI trailed 9-3 at halftime but was able to rack up eight goals in the second half.

Sophomore Patrik Zsiros and junior attacker Nick Walker each tallied three goals to lead Concordia (3-7).
 
Messan Moore and Austin Barton aided the cause with two goals apiece.
 
The Eagles will be back in Southern California for the rest of this month.
 
After facing UC Irvine this coming Thursday just a few blocks away from Concordia's campus, the Eagles will hold their first home match of the season on Friday, September 28.  That match begins at 1:30 p.m. when Fresno Pacific visits Woollett Aquatics Center.
