After splitting their first two games in day one of the MT. SAC tournament the 2006 Citrus College Men’s Water Polo team had a disappointing day losing both of its matches on day two of the tournament.
The Owls first opponent was Chaffey in a rematch of the Owls first game back on September 6, 2006. In that fist match Chaffey was dominant beating the Owls 8-15. It was more of the same on Saturday as the Owls lost again this time 11-20. Gamal Rady and Conner Ruggio both had 3 goals apiece. Ruggio also added 4 assists and 2 steals to his resume in the loss.
In the second game the Owls didn’t fair much better losing 10-14 to the University of Arizona’s club water polo squad. Once again Gamal Rady led all scorers this time with 4 scores, while Ruggio added 3 more. Douglas Moore showed some fire on the defensive end getting 4 steals, but it wasn’t enough as the Owls weren’t able to pull of a win.
With the losses the Owls fall to 3-6 on the season. Next up for the Owls is a home Western States Conference match-up vs Ventura for a 3:00 pm showdown.
