LA CRESCENTA — Scoring goals certainly hasn't been a problem lately for the members of the Crescenta Valley High girls' water polo team.
Pasadena found out first-hand Thursday afternoon during a Pacific League match just how explosive the Falcons’ offense can be after they set a season-best goal mark.
Shannon Hovanesian finished with six goals and Ashley Taylor and Elissa Arnold had five apiece to lead host Crescenta Valley to a 28-4 victory.
