The women's water polo team dove into the
new season this past weekend at the UC San
Diego Triton Tournament and emerged victorious.
"I'm
very happy with this weekend," said
Head Coach Ricardo Azevedo, who picked up
his 100th career win over the weekend. "We
played better in each game of the tournament."
In
the season opener, No. 5-ranked Long Beach
State (3-1) defeated Cal Baptist, 7-4 and
then picked up a second win against UC Santa
Barbara, 7-5, ending Saturday in the winners'
bracket.
On
Sunday, the 49ers fell to No. 4-ranked Loyola
Marymount, 10-7, but battled back in game
four, inching out San Diego State, 7-6.
Junior
Alison Braden and senior Robyn Gordin both
scored two goals against Cal Baptist. Drue
Wawrzynksi, Tara Campbell and Laura Branch
all contributed to the win by scoring one
goal each.
The
winning attitude carried over into the second
game as the team took on UC Santa Barbara.
Junior Cassie Azevedo and Gordin led The
Beach with two goals apiece and Jessica
Levin, Wawrzynksi, Campbell and Braden all
scored one goal each.
Goalie
Bri Hawkins made 12 saves for LBSU.
The
Beach began Sunday against Loyola. Unfortunately,
the 49ers fell in defeat, 10-7.
Azevedo
scored three goals against the Lions. Gordin
added two, while Jackson and Levin both
picked up one.
The
49ers bounced back in their second game
on Sunday, breaking the Aztecs' hearts,
7-6.
Leading
the team with two goals each were Azevedo,
Wawrzynksi and Levin.
