SAN LUIS OBISPO, CA – The SBCC women's water polo team's unbeatable WSC run showed no signs of slowing down on Saturday, as the Vaqueros dominated Ventura from start-to-finish at Cuesta College to win their eighth straight WSC Championship 20-2, their largest margin of victory all year.
SBCC (27-5, 7-0) will head to next weekend's So Cal Regionals riding a 10-game win streak that includes a win over last year's state champion West Valley.
The Pirates (15-10, 4-3) scored both of their goals in the first half before Santa Barbara ended things on a 15-0 scoring run. Emily Lopez led SBCC with four goals. Jenna Olson and Eden Tal once again both recorded hat tricks. A total of 11 Vaqueros found the back of the net.
On the defensive end, goalkeepers Ava Donleavy (6 saves) and Chloe McKay (3) were solid as usual. It was the third time this year that SBCC has conceded two goals or less. Ella Prado and Bella Straley tied for team-high honors with three steals apiece, while Claire Daland had two field blocks.
The Vaqueros are now 64-2 all-time in Western Conference play with 54 consecutive wins over WSC opponents.
