Women’s water polo is treading rough waters after losing 11 straight games and falling to 0-8 in South Coast Conference.
PCC’s Scarlett Bonita takes a shot at Friday’s match against Santa Monica College at PCC’s Aquatices Center.
Most recently, the Lancers sustained a 15-2 blowout loss against Santa Monica on Friday Nov. 1 at the Aquatic Center.
Earlier that same day, things weren’t much better against San Diego Miramar College when the Lancers lost by a final tally of 13-3.
Head Coach Terry Stoddard noted that many mistakes were made in both games.
“We’re thinking one dimensional,” Stoddard said. “We had options, we just didn’t recognize them.”
The five goals in both games came from leading scorer, Stephanie Velasco.
Velasco was set up to take many shots but couldn’t find the back of the net.
“We made mistakes with passing, with team defense and we made mistakes with our shooting and shot selection,” Stoddard said.
Santa Monica successfully finished counterattacks that contributed to their large lead.
Team captain Mariana Silva spoke highly of the efforts of goalie Alenoush Aslanin who has a record of over 150 saves.
“Once we know who the shooter is, we tell other players to stay back and help the goalie with defense and she tells us where to go,” said Silva. “If we’re not seeing it, she’ll tell us to stay.”
This Friday and Saturday PCC will be hosting the SCC Tournament for water polo.
