Water Polo Weekend

A blur of water polo this weekend!  The Pioneer Shootout on Thursday Friday, followed by the UC Santa Cruz Slug fest on Saturday Sunday.  Six games in four days.  Kelly and the CSUEB girls are in the thick of their season, and doing pretty darn good.   Her school hosted the Pioneer shootout. They played Mercyhurst and Grove City, both East coast schools out on a west coast tournament swing. CSUEB easily handle both schools. Kelly scored a nice goal against Grove City. The Slug fest in Santa Cruz was great. Last year we drove over the summit while it was snowing and it hailed in the pool during the games. This year it was California winter at its best. High 60s and sunny.  CSUEB played two SOCAL schools on Saturday. Occidental and Whittier.  Both ahead of them in the polls.  Two great games.  Of course the highlight for us was that Kelly scored yet another goal. She definitely has our vote for MVP! Diane had come to watch and in between games we went to her house for a lunch of meatballs and sausage. Mama Mia!

The Sunday games were a win against Colorado State and a loss to Santa Clara. They head into the mid season in fine shape to perhaps take a run at the national title. Should be interesting. Stay tuned.
