HIGH SCHOOL ROUNDUP:CdM strikes back with win at Santa Barbara

SANTA BARBARA — The Corona del Mar High girls water polo team bounced back from their first loss of the season to score a 9-7 nonleague win over Santa Barbara, the top-ranked team in CIF Southern Section Division II, Saturday.

Seniors Katie Indvik and Cari Levine scored two goals each for CdM (3-1), which is ranked No. 3 in Division I.

The Sea Kings outscored Santa Barbara, 3-1 in the fourth quarter to break away from a 3-3 tie.

“We didn’t have a great third quarter,” CdM Coach Aaron Chaney said. “In the fourth quarter, we came back and played tough. I thought we shut them down and we played a lot better defense.”

Corona del Mar will play host to Back Bay rival Newport Harbor on Thursday at 4:15 p.m.

Sea Kings junior Stefan Kaluz scored four of his team-high 23 points in overtime to help lead CdM to the victory.

Urtusuastegui had four saves in the first game of the Irvine tournament but the Eagles came up a short.
