OCC knocks off Southwestern 14-8

CHULA VISTA - Orange Coast College’s men’s water polo team spoiled

Southwestern’s first attempt at a win 14-8, in nonconference play

Wednesday.

Southwestern, which fielded a water polo team for the first time this

year, got off to a surprisingly fast start by taking a 4-1 lead after one period. But the Pirates’ attack started rolling and they responded with

13 goals.

Meanwhile, OCC’s defense managed to slow down the opposition. Eric Kim

led the way with four goals and Scott Butler had three.

OCC improves to 4-1.
