Girls Water Polo

at Cabrillo HS Pool
Cabrillo 15, SLO 8
[C: 7,2,1,5 - 15  SLO: 0,3,3,2]

Tancy Aldridge had 9 goals to out-score the Tigers by herself, but that isn't necessarily a good thing in the view of Cabrillo Head Coach Corey McIntyre. While acknowledging that "She's a very talented player and a great shooter.", and that she is "Open any time she's in the water.", he was looking ahead. "We definitely want to be spread out more, cause other teams will figure us out. They'll key on her, so we've got to make them pay with other people too."

After taking a 7-0 lead in the 1st quarter, McIntyre pulled his starters. His young backups couldn't quite maintain the pace, and the Tigers slowly pulled themselves back into contention. Tiger Head Coach Katie Hicks was pleased that her team kept struggling to "overcome adverse conditions" and "give Cabrillo a run for their money in the 2nd & 3rd quarters. We just need to learn how to play a consistent four quarters." She mentioned the 4th period because after closing to within 3 (10-7) some of the starters returned - including Aldridge. She promptly tallied three goals in 70 seconds to propel Cabrillo to the win.

"At times we can play really well", but "We just want to keep improving."

Cabrillo: Goals - Tancy Aldridge 9, Tori Bray 3, 1each - Kayla Menjivar, Sam Wulfsteig, Natalie Williams. Jayden Pickles started in goal for the Conqs, but was replaced by Demi Ames after the 1st period - each had several saves.
Tigers [3-5]: Goals - Andrea Reynolds 2; 6 others with one. Saves - Anna Mullen 18.

at Huyck Stadium
SLO 3, Lompoc 1
The Braves suffered their 1st loss of the nascent season, against a very good team. The Tigers controlled the ball "90% of the time.", according to one observer, who further related, "They're fast, aggressive, pass really well, and are great on corner kicks." The Tigers scored twice off corners in the game.

The Tigers (2-1) pounced 1st, but Lompoc got an equalizer when Evelyn Acosta fed the ball in to Alondra Pena who blasted a shot at goal. The shot was deflected, and the keeper raced to the edge of the net to keep it away from a hard-charging Maribel Anguiano. The ball, however, bounced past into the goal and the keeper crashed into the goal post, injuring her knee. It would not matter, the visitors got two more scores to ice it, and after she iced it, her knee that is, the GK said she would be OK. SLO Goals - Brady Candaele, Katrina Drake, Darla Berkefeld.
