San Marino gets season off on the right start.

The 10th ranked Lady Titan Water Polo squad got their first win of the season last night at Arcadia HS. After a sluggish start, going down by as much as 3 goals to Arcadia, San Marino settled down and started to show some of their form from last season. The Titans rallied back in the 2nd qtr. to tie the game at the half 3-3. The 3rd qtr was back and forth between the 2 teams, but the 4th was all Titans. The Lady Titans closed the game on a 3-0 run in the last 6 min including 2 big saves by goalie Carla Bezjian. The Titans were led in scoring Jessica Chang (3 Goals) and Diana Chang and Kate Scanelle had 2 apiece. Diana Chang had 7 steals, while Bezjian had 8 saves in goal. Up next, San Marino's home opener against Burbank on Thursday.

The JV squad had brillant game winning easily against the Lady Apaches 22-5. Alex Friedlich led all scores with 9.

San Marino will be Swimming for the RHL Crown...

After a slow start, The Lady Titan Swimming team has been on roll. After dropping their first 2 meets against Mark Kepple and CV, they have beating all comers including rivial South Pasadena and last years Division 2 Champion Walnut. Lead by Captains Myrtle Lin, Diana Chang, and Saskia Reather, the Lady Titans find themselves right where they want to be at the end of the year, contending for a league title. In what is arguably the toughest league in the Pasadena area, San Marino will face off against La Canada for the right to be called Rio Hondo League Champion. San Marino has not forgotten losing the league title last year in their own pool last year and looks to share that feeling with La Canada this year.
The Lady Titans will travel to La Canada HS this Thursday for their biggest meet of the year. The meet will start at 330p, come out and support your Lady Titan Swimming team.
