This misfortune caused the rest of the team to be “put on the spot during the game,” Postma commented. But even with this setback, the team was still able to come together and perform well.

“We all went for it,” Posma commented. “Everyone was doing their best and you could really see how much the players have evolved throughout the season.”

Even though their CIF run was cut short, the girls’ water polo team found success; their season overall and ended with a record of 13-12.
