With the big win, the Vikings advanced to the state championship final to face off with No. 1 Golden West College on Saturday, Nov. 23 at Golden West College.

This was the Vikings' 15^th State Tournament appearance since 2000, and the 10^th in the past 12 years. The Vikings are the second winningest program in CCCAA history for men's water polo, with nine CCCAA Championships, with the last in 2015.
