Barons, Mustangs advance to CIF girls water polo playoffs
Posted Feb. 19, 2009
The Bonita Vista Barons and Otay Ranch Mustangs were the only two Metro Conference teams to gain entry into this year’s San Diego Section Division I girls water polo playoffs.
The Barons qualified as the conference champion after finishing 12-0 in league play. The Mustangs were admitted on an at-large basis on the strength of their second place league finish (10-2) and 19-6 overall record.
Bonita Vista, which finished 21-4 overall, received the No. 11 seed in the 16-team Division I field but, as a league champion, hosted sixth-seeded El Camino (15-14) in Thursday’s scheduled first-round playoff game at the Las Palmas pool in National City.
Otay Ranch, seeded 13th, was scheduled to travel to fourth-seeded Mt. Carmel (22-8) in Thursday’s opening round of the playoffs.
Quarterfinal-round action is scheduled Saturday in both Division I (1:30 p.m. start) and Division II (8:30 a.m. start) at La Jolla High School.
Barons splash to 10-0 Metro mark
Posted Feb. 5, 2009
The wins keep coming for the Bonita Vista High School girls water polo team and an apparent Metro Conference title in the process.
The Barons have been busy racking up wins against their South Bay rivals: 12-1 against Hilltop on Jan. 22, 13-3 against Chula Vista on Jan. 27, 15-6 against Mar Vista on Jan. 28 and 12-5 against chief challenger Otay Ranch on Tuesday.
Bonita Vista improved its league record to 10-0 with two games remaining and improved its overall record to 17-4, with three of the four losses by one goal.
Leading scorer Carly Hakes had seven in the win against Mar Vista and six in the victory over Otay Ranch. Sarah Skinker has lent valuable offensive support, scoring six goals in the win over Hilltop and four each against Mar Vista and Otay Ranch.
Meanwhile, Liz Crocker has helped solidify the team’s goaltending. She had 11 saves against Mar Vista and seven saves against Otay Ranch.
Tuesday’s contest was an intense rivalry match between Bonita Vista and Otay Ranch.
Jessie Yim, Jesse Yamagata and Ariel De La Fuente were key defensive players for the Barons by holding the Mustangs scoreless in the second quarter and allowing only one goal in the third quarter. Hakes scored five unanswered goals in the second quarter, including one after drawing a five-meter ejection. Crocker was a major force as well with seven saves.
