La Jolla dropped an 11-7 decision to Carlsbad in the fifth-place game of the America's Finest City water polo tournament at Coronado High Sat., Jan. 23. An earlier 19-17 win over Vista Murrieta qualified the Vikings (now 18-3) for what turned out to be a sixth-place finish in the tourney.
Senior captain Lexi Atwell texted after the 19-17 win in a 1 p.m. game that it was "gnarly".
Earlier in the day, in an 11 a.m. game at the Brian Bent Memorial Aquatic Center, on the campus of Coronado High, La Jolla lost an 8-7 nail-biter to Huntington Beach as a last-second shot that would have tied the contest hit the left post and missed. If LJHS had tied, then won in overtime, it would have meant a trip to the tournament semifinals at 3 p.m.
The talented La Jolla squad is off until Thurs., Jan. 28, when Atwell, fellow captains Claire Andrews and Kira Bruno and colleagues travel to Coronado for a Western League contest at 3:30 p.m.
