Girls water polo: CdM loses to Villa Park

CORONA DEL MAR - Corona del Mar High’s girls water polo team

limited Villa Park’s offense. But the Spartans, ranked No. 4 in CIF

Southern Section Division I, completely shut down the host Sea Kings’

offense for a 3-1 win in the Irvine Southern California Championships

Friday.

CdM, 13-10 and ranked No. 4 in Division IV, will face Canyon in the 13th

place semifinal at Irvine, 9 a.m.

Except for UCLA-bound two-meter player Krystan Pulver, who scored twice

in the second half, Villa Park (17-5) had trouble against CdM’s defense.

CdM goalie Arin Hendrickson made 10 saves.

But the Sea Kings failed to get a goal until the fourth quarter, when

freshman Danielle Carlson scored.
