Davis does it again for Dons

Santa Barbara High’s Mark Davis had more heroics left in his swim cap on Saturday for the Dons, scoring for the second straight day with five seconds left in a game to send it into overtime.

The Dons went on to win both of those games, this one a 15-14 victory over Cathedral Catholic. Davis was Santa Barbara’s MVP throughout the match, collecting a pair of goals to go with six assists and four drawn ejections.

Davis’ goal capped a furious comeback by the Dons, who trailed 11-6 with two minutes remaining in the third quarter. The Dons let the momentum carry them to the first three goals in overtime and a 15-12 lead, which Cathedral Catholic trimmed to one before time ran out.

Santa Barbara lost its other game 11-8 to Righetti. Alec Linz tallied a team-high three goals while Connor McManigal added two goals and two assists. Nick Johnson was good for one goal and four steals.

Next up for the Dons is a Channel League matchup with No. 5 Dos Pueblos on Tuesday. The match starts at 3:15 in the Dons’ pool.
