Though their season got off to a rough start, the girls water polo team strives to turn things around and finish off the season exhibiting their growth during this year’s league play. Their record currently stands at 7-6. 

The team had to undergo a revamp this summer after seven former seniors left and four freshmen joined the team. Head coach Laura Reynolds sees the tumult of change that the team had to adjust to in the beginning part of the season. “The beginning of the year was a little rough trying to get everyone on the same page […] but we have gotten it together,” Reynolds said. The team took a step in the right direction when they reached the finals at the Amanda MacDonald Tournament on Sept. 21. 

Sophomore goalkeeper Sophia Maldonado agrees that the season has had its ups and downs but points out the enormous amount of improvement the team has seen. “Everyone has had so much growth as individuals,” Maldonado said. She attributes the team’s development to building a collective positive and motivational attitude, stating that their practices have been geared towards building a strong team environment. 

With just three games left, the Knights have a small amount of time to prove their development, but they are ready to bring it all. “I hope we can continue the momentum from the Amanda MacDonald Tournament,” Maldonado said.
