From Staff Reports
Poly closed out Wednesday’s first round game in the CIF-SS Division 5 girls water polo playoffs very strong.
Leading 5-3 over Cypress at the half, the Panthers closed out the Centurions, 8-1, in the second half.
Colleen Woo had 6 goals to lead Poly and Natalie Clark added 4 more.
Kate McInerny had 3 saves in goal for the Panthers.
Poly will next face Fullerton on Friday, but the game time and location are still being worked out.
It is likely they will play at Sunny Hills High School.
Jordan Dufour had 2 goals for Cypress.
Talie Wilmans had 2 goals and Morgan Shafia had 1 for Poly.
Quotable:
Poly coach Ryan Katsuyama: “We got off to a slow start in the first half, missing quite a few shots due to great play by the Cypress goalkeeper. Once we settled down, we took control in the 3rd quarter with an efficient counter-attack that setup some great scoring opportunities for us. Natalie Clark had a strong game at 2-meter defense, shutting out the primary center for the opposing team and tallying 4 goals, 2 assists and picking up 4 steals.”
