The Bishop's girls water polo team smothered La Jolla, 8-4, in the CIF Open Division semifinals Thurs., Feb. 26, as Viking Addie Seale finished out her high school career and the red and black completed their run as the number-four team in San Diego County.
The Open Division is a battle among the elite teams, so La Jolla faced a juggernaut in hosting the rival Knights, whom they know well, at Coggan Pool before a large playoff crowd. But the Vikes are no slouches themselves, coached by LJHS alumna Keller Felt in her first year at the helm.
Unfortunately, La Jolla fell behind 3-0 before Ciara Franke scored a goal with 1:54 left in the second quarter. Then it was Kira Bruno's turn to bring the Vikings back within 4-2 with four minutes left in the third period. But from then on, it was garbage time as Bishop's built up an insurmountable 8-2 lead before winning by the final margin.
Junior Lexi Atwell scored LJHS's third goal at 4:36 on the clock in the final quarter. Seale, the senior captain, scored her only goal 40 seconds later.
The winner gained the right to move on to the finals.
