La Jolla gave up only one goal to Cathedral Catholic in the second half, but it was too little, too late as the Vikings failed to spoil the Dons' Senior Game, dropping a 7-3 decision at Cathedral to end regular season boys water polo play Fri., Oct. 27.
Coach Tom Atwell's team, traveling east on Highway 56 on a hot day at the tail end of the week's Santa Ana-condition heat wave, wanted to amend for its earlier narrow 9-8 loss at home Oct. 3 to the Dons.
The second half showing turned out to be the high point, as the Vikings narrowed a five-goal deficit with 4:29 left in the second quarter to the final four-goal gap.
Earlier, things all went Cathedral's way, jumping out to a 4-0 first quarter lead before La Jolla could score its first goal beginning the second quarter.
Don leads then encompassed 5-1, then 6-1 with over four minutes remaining in the first half, before the Vikings could score a second goal late in the second period.
La Jolla begins CIF Open Division playoff competition Sat., Nov. 4, at Coggan Pool on the LJHS campus.
