The Cate girls water polo team struggled offensively in 14-4 loss on the road to Malibu.
Caroline Montgomery, the team’s leading scorer on the season, had two goals in the game before picking up her second exclusion at the beginning of the second quarter and having to spend most of the game on the bench.
Maddie Schrager compensated for Montgomery’s absence by putting in two goals, but the Rams were unable to contain the home team’s attack.
Cate will continue its season on Friday at home against Nordhoff.
