The women’s water polo team continued to be a powerful force with a 7-3 record, after an amazing performance winning Wednesday’s game against the Rio Hondo Roadrunners with a score of 22-4.
The Vikings made sure their offensive presence was known right at the start of the clock with Sydney Brouwer scoring their first goal twenty seconds into the game.
They continued dominating the first quarter scoring eight more goals with two from Brouwer, two from Sierra Cavano, and four from Rylie Guglielmotti without the Roadrunners scoring at all.
Defending the Roadrunners from advancing with the ball was no problem for the Vikings as the team chemistry was a major contribution to successfully limit the Roadrunners from scoring.
The Roadrunners scored once in the second quarter, once in the third, and twice in the fourth.
“Our team is only getting stronger since we’re all looking out for each other and always being positive,” said Cavano.
The Vikings performance in the water was dominant throughout the whole game as nine players made for a combined twenty-two goals by the end of the buzzer.
Having scored five more goals in the second quarter, the score was at 14-1. By the end of the third quarter, another five goals put the Vikings up 19-2.
The Vikings finished strong, landing their final three goals and ended the match with a 22-4 victory.
Their aggressive offense seemed to be no match for the Roadrunners as they controlled the game confidently with their smooth ball movement.
The Vikings have been training hard this season and are eager to win which they proved by this overpowering performance.
“Our competitive schedule and training contributed to our outstanding defense moving into today’s game,” said LBCC head coach Chris Oeding.
The Vikings certainly did not disappoint on the defensive side, ending the game with a total of 12 steals and 11 saves, as well as causing the Roadrunners to end with ten turnovers.
It has been more apparent that the Vikings are collectively synced within their gameplans as they continue to carry throughout the season strong.
The Vikings hope to stay consistent throughout the rest of the season heading into their next game on Wednesday against Chaffey at 3:00 p.m.
