Current Squad Easily Gets Past Alumnae, 16-9
LONG BEACH, CA-- The current squad for Long Beach State women's water polo defeated its alumnae, 16-9 on Saturday morning as Cecilia and Marina Canetti had three goals a piece for the current team. Four other players added two goals a piece. Kim Hayes had nine saves in goal. The 49ers open the regular season next weekend when they travel to UC San Diego for the season opening Triton Invite. Former All-American and current New Zealand National team member, Roberta Stewart scored four goals for the alumnae, who kept themselves in the game for much of the first half of the contest as over 20 former players returned to the pool. The youngsters opened up the scoring following the first 16 minutes, as they scored four unanswered goals in the third period to pull away and lead 13-7. The alumnae, thanks to goals from Stewart at 5:05 and Robyn Gordin at 2:14 in the second period, kept them within one. Lisa Helm's goal at 4:56 in the third period cut the lead to 9-6, before the current team scored four straight to lead 13-7. |
