2008 Varsity Water Polo
@ Lindbergh
The Jr. Bills dominated the fifth-ranked Flyers from the outset and cruised to their third win. Mike Sizemore scored three early goals, and John Heafner exploded for four within a span of 61 seconds, as the press defense and counterattack led to a 10-1 advantage just more than a minute into the second quarter. SLUH switched to a drop defense for the remainder of the game and held Lindbergh’s powerful shooters to only three late tallies. Offensively, the Jr. Bills stopped counterattacking at halftime and struggled to score half court, although the team did convert four of six 6-on-5’s. Most impressively, SLUH finished much stronger in front of the goal, shooting 15 for 27 to follow up a meager 7 for 32 effort the night before.
