All-CIF junior Aileen Shin led Bishop's to a 22-5 win over La Jolla in the closing Western League match of the regular season Fri., Feb. 7, in the Knights' home pool.
Coaches Ian Davidson and Doug Peabody's squad were celebrating Senior Night, but they were led by Shin and a cast of scorers from all classes, just as the Vikings feature several sophomores, including Aviana Cavaiola and Cora Pfau.
The Knights built a dominating 6-1 lead by 3:49 left in the second quarter, only stopped by Grecia Ramirez's goal.
Then, the hosts didn't let their foot off the gas the rest of the way in the rivalry match. Bishop's is favored to win its 14th of the last 15 CIF titles the next two weeks in the playoffs--if this were to occur, it would make seven straight championships after an original skein of seven titles in a row, broken up in one lone season by Carlsbad.
In a bit of trivia, in 27 years of CIF girls water polo in San Diego, Bishop's has appeared in 26 finals.
