EC men’s water polo team wins fourth game in a row

The EC men’s water polo won its fourth game in a row against Chaffey College winning 12-8 on Oct. 1.

“I feel like I played really good today,” said Hugo Palma. “ I try to keep complete contact with the shooter(during a penalty shot) or as much as I can,” he added.

David Thomas and Daniel Burdiak were the top scorers of the game with three goals a piece.

Chaffey had plenty of opportunities to score some more goals but the Warriors’ defense was just too much for them to overcome.

“These past few games we have been moving the ball around a lot,” said Daniel Burdiak. “Conditioning and working on the passing will help the streak keep going,” he added.

The chemistry of the ball club have been clicking since the win first over LA Trade Tech last Wednesday. Winning 3 out of 4 in San Diego also brought a lot of momentum for the team and Coach Stanbury agreed.l

“Well we pulled off 3 wins in a row in San Diego,” said Coach Stanbury. “We seem to have figured out the other teams’ defense a lot more than before and that has been the giant difference,” he added.

After the game the Warriors played a 4 game tournament the following weekend in Saddleback. Unfortunately this tournament didn’t fair them too well as they loss all four of their decisions.

All of their games were really close as the first game was lost in overtime 13-12.

The next two games were pretty close as well as the second game ended 13-8 and the third game ended 15-11.

The last game of the weekend final score was 11-10. These 4 games showed that the Warriors offense can score some goals but the defense still needs some work.
