Champions again!!  The OLu girls water polo team beat Mater Dei 12-4 on Saturday to win the CIF Open Division championship for the 2nd straight season.

That momentum carried into the 2nd half as the Lancers led 9-4 after three and finished with an 8-goal advantage, 12-4.  OLu went 6 for eight on the six-on-5 advantage.  Jailynn Robinson led OLu with five goals; Kate Sloman had four, and Sofia Umeda had two.  Kyla Pranjaya defended the cage with seven saves.
