The girls water polo team remained perfect over the holiday break, winning the Bill Barnett Holiday Classic for the 1st time in school history.

 

The Lancers entered the tournament 4-0 and ranked #1 in the CIF-SS Division 1 poll and by the OC Register.  

 

Day 1 saw OLu beat Carlsbad 19-1, followed by a thrilling 12-11 win over Trinity League rival Mater Dei to advance to the semifinals. 

 

In the semis, the Lancers beat Los Alamitos for the second time this season 10-6.  In the finals, OLu met San Marcos.  Tied 12-12 late in the 4th quarter, Allison Cohen scored to give the Lancers the lead by 1.  Michelle Urkov struck shortly after to give OLu the two-goal cushion and the win.  

 

Cohen was named the OC Varsity girls athlete of the week following her five-goal performance in the finals. 

 

The Lancers are currently 8-0 and are back in the pool on Thursday against Santa Margarita in the Trinity League opener.
