The AHS varsity girls’ waterpolo team ends their season with an optimistic outlook and new goals for next year, and are emphasizing the importance of experience.
“The [new] players finally have a sense of the game now and understand how teamwork is an essential part of the game, so we’ll see what happens next year,” junior Vanessa Pena said.
The Lady Moors held a 0-4 Almont League record standing. During their last game against Montebello on Feb. 8, they lost with a score of 4-28. However, the team is hoping to overlook the score by stressing the importance of improvement through learning from their mistakes made during previous games.
“The girls have improved in communication with each other on the field, but we are still working on the many aspects of water polo,” Head Coach Sarah Duran said.
As Pena continues to explain the importance of team work and how it was exerted differently at games, Duran explains her goal for next season: seeking new talents who are not afraid to learn from their mistakes and are able to work together as a team.
“We need support from the student body, so don’t be intimidated by the physicality of the sport because some of you might actually like it,” Duran said.
