GIRLS’ WATER POLO

Harvard-Westlake 8, Cabrillo 7--Julie Spataru scored with 11 seconds left to lift the Wolverines in the championship game of the Newbury Park tournament.

Paloma Slezak scored three goals for the Wolverines (5-2), the last on a penalty shot that gave Harvard-Westlake a 5-2 lead with 42 seconds left in the second quarter. A goal by Courtney Quinn 37 seconds later gave the Wolverines a 6-2 lead at halftime.

“They knew what we were going to do on that last play,” Harvard-Westlake Coach Rich Corso said. “And we knew if they collapsed in the middle we were going to have to kick it out for the shot. This is a huge win for us because we’ve kind of been stuck in the mud all season.”

Emily Caesar scored on a rebound to extend Harvard-Westlake’s lead to 7-4 with eight seconds left in the third quarter. Cabrillo (4-1) scored three unanswered goals in a four-minute span, the last a high shot by Jessica Alvarado with 24 seconds left.

Quinn had two goals and two assists. Carolyn Keifer made 11 saves for Harvard-Westlake, which outshot Cabrillo, 17-12.
