The VC women's water polo team made it a 31 weekend with a 12-7 triumph over Mt. San Antonio College in their finale at the Ventura Tournament at the Ventura Aquatic Center on Saturday. Anna Lowe had three goals and four assists while Lauren Mora scored three times with a pair of steals to lead the way. Fiona Watkins had two scores with six steals and Katie Falls recorded seven saves in the cage for the Pirates (12-3, 1-1).

Ventura led 3-2 midway through the second period before Findlay and Lowe found the inside of the cage in the final two minutes for a 5-2 halftime advantage.

Following a Mt. SAC goal to begin the third stanza, Ventura answered with four unanswered goals to break the game open, 9-4.
