Arroyo Grande, San Luis Obispo girls water polo teams win division titles at A.G. Winter Classic

The Arroyo Grande High girls water polo team won its home tournament, going 5-0 to take the Arroyo Grande Winter Classic gold division title.

Sarah Parson was the tournament MVP, and both Kate Empey and Arden Taylor were named to the all-tournament team.

The Eagles won three games Saturday, defeating Mission Viejo 12-5, Cabrillo 12-4 and Righetti 8-2. Arroyo Grande scored 58 goals over the five games.

Mission Viejo was second, and Righetti finished third.

In the navy division, San Luis Obispo wrapped up a 5-0 record over the two day tournament. The Tigers beat Morro Bay and Hueneme on Friday and Paso Robles, Atascadero and Pacifica on Saturday.

The last match of the day, and the toughest according to coach Stephen Jomaoas, was against Pacifica. The match was tied 3-3 at the half, but Samantha Wright came off the bench to spark the Tigers to an 8-6 win.

“She gave us the momentum to carry us through,” Jomaoas said. “She has a great outside shot.”

The Tigers beat Atascadero 9-2 and Paso Robles 6-4.

Addi Foster scored 16 goals over the weekend and goalie Rachel Lovato registered 18 saves in the five games.

The Tigers won the navy division and improved to 10-5 on the season. San Luis Obispo is 1-1 in league play and have a PAC 8 showdown with Arroyo Grande on Tuesday.
