Cabrillo Came Close, But Lompoc Pulled Out A Win



The shortage of local water polo officials was so acute that these two were tasked with working the San Marcos @ Cabrillo JV water polo match. They may look familiar ...
because they are !! Scroll Down for their 'secret identities'.

In a bit of depature for local polo, the JV's faced off first in this one.

Varsity
San Marcos (12-10) 19, Cabrillo 11
You don't see scores like this one very often in water polo, but honestly, there was defense in this game. Cabrillo goalkeeper Felix Talkin had seventeen saves and Royals goalie Chris Bebb was solid (5 saves), but both teams were launching shots like NASA in the late 60's.

Cabrillo used goals from 4 different shooters to jump out to a quick 4-1 advantage, but two Travis Johnson scores after ejections and a Ben Battles lob tied it at four. Tyler Chard & Marcus Thiele would put the Conqs back up by two, but the Royals would score twice in the final 23 seconds to end the first period at 6-6.

The top half of quarter #2 was more Cabrillo score and San Marcos answer -repeat, then the Royals scored 4 in a row to finish the half with a 12-9 lead.

The third period continued the visitors control as they outscored the Conqs 4-1 - Cabrillo's only goal coming with 12 ticks left on the clock. The fourth was more of the same, with a 3-1 Royals margin for the 19-11 final.

Scoring:
Cabrillo -
Tyler Chard 3, Jake Motyer 3, Tyler Thompson 2, Emmet Hill, Marcus Thiele.
San Marcos [as recorded at event] - Tyler Lisea 6, Travis Johnson 6, Travis Froelich 2, Ben Battles 2, Andre Rivera , James Sweeney.

Note: San Marcos [per SM - not total] - Tyler Lisea 6, Travis Johnson 5, Travis Froelich 3, Ben Battles 2, Andre Rivera 2, James Sweeney, Jorge Flores.

Talkin and Motyer, who had about 6 shots hit the cage, drew special comendations from Head Coach Joel Jory.

Cabrillo 7, San Marcos 4
[6 minute quarters]

It wasn't the refs !! This was a basically even game, except for a half minute late in the 2nd period. Each squad would score at least one goal in every period.


Cabrillo's Simon Reep opened the scoring in the first, but the Royals answered 3 minutes later. Second verse same as the first, Nate Chandler hits one, but SM responded 2 minutes later to knot the score at 2 apiece. Then, with 45 seconds left in the half, Reep hit his 2nd goal which was followed 25 seconds later by Alfredo Navarro's first, and the locals had a 4-2 lead at halftime.

The teams would exchange goals in the 3rd, but Reep would drop in his 3rd goal of the game with 0:42 on the clock to put the Conqs up 6-3. The Royals would score first to narrow the lead to 2 (6-4), but Chandler popped in another one to make the final 7-4.

Scoring: Cabrillo - Simon Reep 3, Nate Chandler 3, Alfredo Navarro. SM- Jack Sloan, Parker Woodward, Keyvan Golizadeh, Jason Phreaner.

Varsity
Lompoc 10, Pioneer Valley 8

The Panthers came to town looking for a non-league win, but went home disappointed. Lompoc demonstrated slightly better depth with wins by both the singles & doubles #2's over their counterparts, and had a huge win at #3 doubles to take the match 10-8, despite being behind (71-73) on games.

The visitors #1 's did not drop a set, their #3 's did not win any - so the match was decided by the the #2's. Lompoc's were better - winning 2 of 3 in each discipline. Lompoc won round #1 4-2, and held on with 3-3 scores in the next two.

Singles (5-4, 32-32) - The Panthers #1, Caitlyn 'The Real Deal' Brown [6-0,6-0,6-0], rolled through the Braves line-up of Nicole Nomany, Sameeha Husayn, & Emily Tremblay without losing a game. Husayn won her other two sets, over Marina Villafuerte & Alyssa Santana, by 6-1 scores, and Tremblay defeated them 6-1, 6-4 respectively.

It was the first time this season that Tremblay had won two sets in the same match. Nomany gave way in rounds 2 & 3 to Cera Mitchell, up from the JV squad, who went 1-1. She topped Santana 6-1 and fell 6-4 to Villafuerte.

Doubles (5-4, 39-41) - Preet Gill / Gabby Gonzales [6-1, 6-1, 6-4] also swept for the Pathers, with the Katie Bowman / Ally Morales combo collecting the other PV point [6-2]. Korina Esqueda / Ashley Branson [1-6, 2-6] were shut out, but Korina teamed with Elena Bastianelli to beat the Panthers #3 duo, Anette Santana / Ryan Martin, by a 6-3 score in the third round. Jessica Cosio / Azucena Villalobos [1-6, 6-4, 6-0] won two of three, as did Rosa Carreno / Julie Abrego [4-6, 7-6 (8-6), 6-4].

The highlight was the come-from-behind, tiebreak win by Carreno / Abrego over Bowman /Morales late in the day. The Braves were behind in both the set and the tiebreaker and rallied to win the 8th point of the match. Husayn collected #9, and the Esqueda / Bastianelli win put Lompoc over the top.

St Joseph 3, Cabrillo 1
[25-12, 18-25, 25-27, 24-26]

The Conquistadors were not intimidated and they quickly got St Joseph's attention. They came out in game 1, raced out to an 18-8 lead and blew the Knights off the court 25-12. It was like kicking over a nest of angry wasps though, as a clearly now fully engaged St Joes team, won game 2 25-18. Cabrillo did not simply fade away, down 17-23 in game 3 they rallied to tie at 25 all before a Natsha Kolbo kill and Mary Clare Rigali serve put the game away.

The Conqs led for most of game 4, but were caught at the finish. Up 19-15, the visitors crept back into competition. Consecutive kills by Hayley Baldwin & Analise Riezebos, were followed by a serve by the libero, Shannan Swaim, that hit the net, spun over the top, and dropped in for a point. A net violation tied it at 19. Jenna Hilliard then had two kills to put Cabrillo up 21-19, but kills by Kolbo & Rigali knotted the score at 22 shortly after.

A Kaylee Long tip and a Knight net violation gave Cabrillo a game point, but a Kolbo tip-in, and a Riezebos monster shot brought the score back to even at 24. A carry call on Cabrillo, and a return into the net ended the game.


Cabrillo: Jenna Hilliard - 9 kills, 5 blocks/assists, Chloe Huggins - 5 kills, Tiffany Lee - 5 kills, Kaylee Long - 4 kills. Junior Varsity
Cabrillo 2, St Joseph 0 [25-5, 25-19]
Presaging the varsity match a bit, the Conqs came out gangbusters & the Knights came out flat. They would not recover in this one. CHS defeated the Knights in 2 games, advancing their record to 4-0 in league and 5-1 overall.

From Coach Jenn Smith - "Nothing short of great teamwork and unity on the court! Kalya Lown and Felicia Bowen each had 3 kills. Katie Schmarje had 4 ace serves. Great defense and setting by Nikki Friend. "
