crowd extra game good home hoping last pool senior smaller team tough tougher weather
They are a tough team to play, and they are even tougher to play in a smaller pool like ours. It should be a really good game. Also, it is our last home game of the year, and it is senior day. Even if the weather is not that great, we are hoping for a big crowd to give us that extra edge.
against bay both early east environment game high home improved intensity playing polo pool since teams tougher water
Our first game against East Bay was early in the year. Both of our teams have improved since then, and playing them at their home pool is a much tougher environment than playing them here. We need to come out and play high intensity water polo right from the start.

Playing in front of a big crowd always adds to the level of excitement for a home game, and it will definitely help our team.

attack counter court dominant everybody expose half involved key last offensive push solid team
We are going to push the counter attack even more so than last year, and everybody will get more involved in the half court offense. We do not have one dominant offensive threat, but most everybody on our team has a solid offensive game. The key for us is to find and expose mismatches when we are on offense.
counter court cruz defense execute expect good half hard last offense played santa scoring similar speed time type
Santa Cruz has very good speed this year. The last time we played them, we had a hard time scoring on the counter attack. We expect a similar type game, so we are going to have to play good defense and execute well in our half court offense and 6-on-5 opportunities.
