2008 Varsity Water Polo
DeSmet @ Lindbergh
For the third time this season, the Jr. Bills squared off against the second-ranked Spartans, this time in the championship game of the Central Conference Tournament. And for the third time, the Jr. Bills rolled, exploding for seven second quarter goals en route to a 9-0 halftime lead. Featuring a sagging defense, SLUH surrendered a number of perimeter shots by design, and Matt Hohenberger and Zak Ancel were up to the task, combining for thirteen saves. Player of the Game Mike Sizemore (5 G, 1 A) and John Heafner (2 G, 4 A) led the offense, with John scoring the goal of the game on a corner bar-in from the 7 yard line. More impressively, defenders Michael O’Neill, Dan Geisman, and Trent Going combined to limit DeSmet’s three offensive stars to zero points.
