Royals show good balance in win over Buena

Angie Conner made a slick move at the two-meter position and scored her first goal of the season to help San Marcos defeat Buena 15-6 in a Channel League girls water polo match.

Goalie Alex Brown blocked seven shots and had three steals, as the Royals rebounded from a loss earlier in the week against The Bishop’s School of La Jolla.

Brittny Hummel paced a balanced scoring attack with five goals. Rose and Hannah Koper each scored four and Halie Johnson chipped in two.

The Royals (6-5, 1-2) return to the pool for their annual alumni game on New Year’s Eve at 10 a.m.
