This was a true breakout season for girls water polo.  Two years removed from a 2-20 season, we went 17-10 in the regular season this year.  This was in no small part due to the unified team effort these players showed throughout the season.  At every challenge, the girls rose up together to overcome it.  I am especially  proud of the way they refused to accept defeat.  We are losing two very talented seniors this year, but we are very excited as we look forward to continued improvement next year.
