The Las Positas men's and women's water polo teams had a tall task ahead of them on Wednesday afternoon as they played a double header at The Nest. The task was to take on the state's men's #2  and women's #3 ranked teams in the form of the Vikings of West Valley College.

Ethan Santiago also a freshman (Valley View Charter) had the team only other goal. Freshmen Cameron Emmons (California) and Vincent Vandersall (Livermore) both had two assists a piece.

In the final match of the day, the short-handed Hawks came away with a 17-5 defeat. Makenzie Duffin a freshman (Livermore) led the way with 3 goals, while sophomore Monica Ureno (Foothill) and freshman Amy Heath (Amador Valley) each finished with a goal.
