2021 Pasadena City College Women's Water Polo News
Lilian Tahmasian achieved First Team and Marley Courtney made the Second Team as the Pasadena City College selections on the 2021 All-South Coast Conference Team released this week.
The Pasadena City College women's water polo team showed its scoring prowess over the final two games as the Lancers netted 28 goals, finishing the 2021 season in a hard-fought 12-10 loss v. Chaffey in the fifth place final of the South Coast Conference Tournament on Saturday. The tourney was played at Mt. San Antonio College.
Four different players netted three or more goals as the Pasadena City College women's water polo team scored a 15-11, South Coast Conference win at East Los Angeles College on Wednesday. The Lancers are 3-2 in SCC games and 3-5 overall.
Scoring hasn't been a strong point for past Pasadena City College women's water polo teams. When the Lancers downed El Camino, 14-12, on Friday it marked the third straight game in which PCC scored 13 or more goals. Not since 2012 has a Pasadena squad performed the feat.
To minimize harsh physical play in the sport of water polo, referees will not just call fouls that result in change of possession, but major fouls that result in what are called exclusions. The player must go to the "sin bin" or in this case out of the pool play area for 20 seconds or until other team scores--whatever comes first.
A funny thing happened on the way to overtime Wednesday in the Pasadena City College women's water polo team's 2021 season opener.
