The Cathedral Catholic High School boys water polo team defeated La Jolla High School 11-8 in today’s match.

CCHS (8-7) hosted LJHS (12-3) today at the CCHS aquatic center. Last time the teams met, CCHS edged out LJHS 10-5.

The Dons exhibited strong offense and solid defense, giving them a slight advantage against LJHS.

“With how strong our offense is, limiting the goals we let up will help us win any game,” CCHS player Tyler Zarcu ‘21 said. “We forced them to shoot from positions they weren’t comfortable in.”

CCHS put pressure on LJHS, forcing them to make errors. This advantage would prove to be key for CCHS as they slid past LJHS.

The Dons express a common goal for the rest of the season.

“Our goal is to win CIF and to finish the season undefeated,” Zarcu said.

CCHS takes on Coronado High School this Friday as they come into the home stretch of their schedule.
