The Girls water polo team opened their 26-27 season with two games, earning a split of the two.  In the first, the Wolves took a win in a close match against Temescal Canyon, the game ending with a score of 10-8.

“We had great defense in the 2m coming from Charlotte Cleary,” said King’s head coach Taryn Morales.

On defense, Charlotte was key to slowing the momentum of Temescal Canyon.

On the offensive end King had a lot of motion and speed coming from Alyssa Christensen.   Christensen is one of King’s attackers on the 1/2 side.

“Alyssa put up three of our goals and gained a lead [for us] every quarter,” said Morales. 

The second game matched King with Citrus Valley, a game that ended in a high scoring loss for the Wolves, 12-15.

“We battled every quarter,” said Morales. 

Cleary played exceptionally well.  “Our lefty utility is a force,” Morales said.  Charlotte helped keep the score close with great defense and offense.

She scored five goals from both perimeter and the 2m positions. “The sophomore is a true powerhouse and I’m excited to see her accomplishments further in the season if this is her in game two!” Morales said excitedly.

Though the season is in its infancy and bears the shadow of one loss, shadows prove the sunshine and Morales is optimistic of the future.
