ORCA Water Polo Takes Bronze Medal at San Diego Cup

 

ORCA Water Polo was well represented this weekend at the San Diego Shores County Cup.  Coach Villa and the 8th grade and under boys came out of their bracket play by defeating Long Beach Shores,  Davis, and Santa Barbara.

 

In the fourth game of the tournament ORCA defeated Pacific Water polo club, which put ORCA in the semi final game versus Bishops Water Polo Club from San Diego.  The semi final game was on Sunday at 7:00 am and the ORCA players gave it their all, but could not win against Bishops.  However, the result of that loss still put ORCA in the Bronze medal game against SET Water polo club of Lake Forest.  ORCA Water Polo came out on top and won the bronze medal by outlasting a very good SET team which they defeated by the score of 11-8.

 

ORCA’s Matthew Cuozzo and Samuel Thompson received awards for being named to the All-Tournament Team.
