Girls water polo: Newport’s McCall, Mater Dei’s Silvers honored at USC

April 15th, 2013, 10:39 am by

Former Orange County water polo standouts Nina McCall (Newport Harbor) and Chelsea Silvers (Mater Dei) were honored by USC’s women’s water polo program during a Senior Day ceremony before the Trojans played host to Stanford on Saturday.

No. 2 Stanford handed No. 1 USC its first loss, 6-4, but Senior Day felt special for McCall, pictured middle with Silvers, left.

“It’s almost like another birthday — Senior Day,” she said afterward. “It’s cool being able to say that you’ve been on a collegiate, Division 1 team for four years, and you’re being honored for it, and people recognize it. It’s a big accomplishment.”

McCall helped USC’s second unit provide a spark against the Cardinal on Saturday. She has 50 career goals. Silvers has 42 career goals.

Girls water polo: Albano’s finals predictions

February 22nd, 2013, 11:09 pm by

After blazing through the first couple rounds of predictions, I struggled with my picks for the water polo semifinals, going just 5-3. The picks don’t get any easier for what should be a great Saturday of water polo finals. But I’m to press on and finish what I started:

Division 1

Newport def. CdM (I wonder if the Sailors peaked in the semifinals but I still like the Sailors’ strength at 2-meter offense and defense and in goal with Harrington. And despite their 8-5 victory against Santa Barbara, they can shoot better than they did in the semifinals. The Haralabidis twins are difference-makers who can raise their games, so the Sea Queens will be make this a one-goal game. Key matchup to watch: Outside shooters Cassidy Papa, Stephania Haralabidis vs. Cleo Harrington. The potential loss of Maddie Musselman (injured) also is a big factor.)

Girls water polo: Divi. 1 preview – CdM-Newport splashdown (poll)

February 22nd, 2013, 12:17 pm by

SATURDAY’S CIF-SS GIRLS WATER POLO FINALS

All games at William Woollett Jr. Aquatics Center, Irvine

DIVISION 1

CORONA DEL MAR (26-4) VS. NEWPORT HARBOR (24-6), 6:30 p.m.

Outlook: The Back Bay rivals meet for the fifth time this season, and for the second consecutive season in the Division 1 finals. The season series is split, 2-2. The teams split two games before Greeks transfers Stephania and Ioanna Haralabidis became eligible and split the two when the teams were full-strength.

Newport Harbor rallied last season to defeat Corona del Mar in the finals, 8-7. The victory also improved the Sailors to 2-0 against Corona del Mar in CIF Division 1 finals. Newport Harbor edged Corona del Mar, 6-5, in overtime in the 2008 Division 1 final.

The Sea Queens are 0-3 overall in Division 1 finals but own five section titles in other divisions.

Girls water polo: Back Bay Splashdown Five, get ready! (poll)

February 21st, 2013, 11:44 pm by

Saturday night’s CIF Division 1 girls water polo final will pit Back Back rivals Newport Harbor and Corona del Mar against each other for the fifth time this season.

I wonder how many rivals in any high school sport in Orange County can say they have played five times in a single season, with the last one for a CIF championship? My guess, not many.

Newport and CdM truly have a unique relationship in girls water polo in that they play their annual Battle of the Bay nonleague game — a must-see match each season — and then enter the same high-powered tournaments.

Here’s a recap of the previous four matches this season – which the teams split (pictured above: NH’s Cleo Harrington, far left, and CdM’s Ally McCormick):

Corona del Mar 8, Newport 6 

Nonleague at CdM, Dec. 21

The Sea Queens posted the victory despite not having Greek transfers Stephania and Ioanna

Girls cross country: Newport’s Tennison headed to UCLA

February 4th, 2013, 9:05 am by

Newport Harbor senior Paige Tennison has confirmed that she has committed to run next season at UCLA.

“I am absolutely ecstatic with my recent commitment to UCLA,” Tennison said in an email. “The first time I went on campus I had a pretty good feeling that UCLA was where I wanted to go, and after my official visit, I knew that UCLA was 100 percent the place for me.”

Tennison, a two-time first team all-county runner, was also named the Register’s 2012 Cross Country Runner of the Year after blossoming into one of the state’s top runners. She became the first county runner since former Woodbridge star Christine Babcock (2006-07) to repeat as sweepstakes champion at the Orange County Championships.

Tennison won the Sunset League individual title and was the CIF-SS Division 2 champion.

She capped her stellar running campaign by placing fourth in Division 2 at the CIF State Cross Country Championships.

Among some of the other schools that Tennison considered were Cal and Cal Poly San Luis Obispo.
