BOYS' WATER POLO
Mission Hills Alemany 17, Hoover 10: Despite playing with just
eight individuals on their roster, the Tornadoes (0-2) battled
valiantly in Friday's nonleague road match, but fell short in
overtime.
Hoover had the ball with about 10 seconds remaining in regulation
with a chance to win it, but its shot was stopped by the Alemany
goalkeeper.
The Tornadoes -- who were led by Andy Jung's three goals and two
each from Matt Jung and Garen Reyhanian -- battled back from a 4-1
first-quarter deficit to tie it at 5 at the half, and played the
Indians even until the end of regulation, as the teams were
deadlocked at 9.
But in the two three-minute extra periods, fatigue caught up with
Jennifer Freemon's squad, as Alemany scored four times in each period
to Hoover's one.
Will Brouwer, Venil Garabedian and Walker Lere all scored for the
Tornadoes, who received 17 saves from Ryan Bonnelli.
Hoover will play visiting Pasadena at 3:15 p.m. Wednesday in a
Pacific League match.
