They also have a strong goalie in Colin Carroll.

The Friars have won seven of nine matches since, including a 9-8 victory against defending Division II champion Villa Park in the quarterfinals. JSerra relies mostly on juniors and sophomores but beat third-seeded La Canada in the quarterfinals.

Please disregard the message posted above. Congratulations to all of the teams who made it to the sem-finals!
Theres gonna be blood between Jserra and Mader dei at the finals, just like the last two times.
Wow! I played water polo for MD when there was no pool and we had to drive to Santa Ana College to practice. We sucked and now MD can play with best. Go Monarchs!
Go Monarchs! Your years of hard work will see you through.
Usually I don’t decide on these types of things but I agree with my rival JC in saying that MD will pull through for the victory.
