San Jose State Begins New Era with Win

The new-look San Jose State men’s water polo team opened their season, the first in 35 years, with a victory over nearby Santa Clara. Big crowds welcomed the team after their long dormancy and saw Coach Bruce Watson’s squad beat the Broncos 13-7.

Some sights and sounds from San Jose on the big day.
