Sea Kings put away Breakers

Corona del Mar High’s boys water polo team found itself in a 4-4

standoff through two quarters, but then turned it on in the second

half with a 10-3 flurry to deal host Laguna Beach a 14-7 Pacific

Coast League defeat Wednesday afternoon in a physical match in the

Breakers’ pool.

Corona del Mar was handed eight ejections in the first half alone,

but was able to offset the situation in the second half, thanks to

team strength, and the scoring of John Mann (three third-quarter

goals). Sis of Mann’s teammates shared in the 10-goal second-half

outburst.

Mann finished with five goals and Jason DiRocco and Artie Dorr had

two scores apiece, while Ryan Moore, David DiRocco, Keven Amendt,

Griffin Gentry and Dan Niehenke each scored once.

Beau Stockstill was credited with 15 stops in the cage, 10 of

those in the second half, as the Sea Kings improved to 12-5, 2-0 in

the PCL.
