Coming off an impressive 13-2 record last year, the girls water polo team is succeeding again, with their 15-0 win against Gunn on Thursday improving their record to 7-2.

Since most players from last year are still on the team, senior and captain Lydia Mitz said she had high hopes and expectations.

“Coming into the season, I would say our golden aspirations were just to grow as a team and really learn to play well together,” Mitz said. “We had a very similar team last year and not a lot of seniors graduated, so our main goal, aside from of course winning the league, was to just learn how to play really well together as a team.”

Mitz said the team has also had to overcome unexpected road bumps in the season.

“It’s been hard because we’ve also had a lot of injuries on the team which means we haven’t had a full roster in a while,” Mitz said. “But we’ve learned to work through those issues and continue to learn as we get back on track.”

Looking forward, junior Mila Bynum said she is hopeful about the team’s chances for further success.

“We’ve had a couple of losses to Harker and Los Altos in the last couple of weeks that have gotten the team’s spirits down, but we all sat down last Friday to talk for an hour in order to get on the same page,” Bynum said. “I think that the meeting was a good way for us all to understand that this league title won’t to be handed to us; we are now on the same page that we need to put more effort and focus in order to achieve this goal of ours.”
