Menlo School Boys Water Polo Rundown
Knights recovered from early errors in the Scott Roche Invitational at Menlo School.
After spotting San Ramon Valley four goals in the first quarter resulting from early defensive errors, Menlo School's Boys Water Polo Team came back and won the final three quarters 5-4.
Sophomore goalkeeper Spencer Witte had an outstanding second half in the cage for the Knights, recording 9 saves while allowing just two goals.
“To play this well for three quarters against the eventual champion of this tournament is a small victory for us,” said head coach, Jack Bowen.
