Win a little easier this time for Dons

Two days removed from an exciting 6-5 overtime victory over crosstown foe Dos Pueblos, the Santa Barbara boys water polo team notched another win, albeit a little less dramatic.

The Dons defeated Menlo 9-3 on Thursday, improving to 15-4 on the year. Santa Barbara, Division I’s third-ranked team, returns to Channel League play on Tuesday against Ventura.

Three Dons had two goals each: Jason Masho, Lautaro Fesembeck and Jeff Churchman. Paul Davis, Brendan Kerwin-McElroy and Brandon Cowan all added one apiece. Davis added a pair of assists.
