Ventura 13, Lompoc Cabrillo 5--Teague Savitch scored four goals for the Cougars in a victory at Paul Nelson Pool in Santa Maria.

Savitch, a junior who sat out Ventura’s 11-10 victory over Cabrillo last month, scored a goal to help the Cougars take a 6-2 halftime lead.

Ventura (22-5) took its largest lead, 12-3, on a goal by Andy McAnally with 2:04 to play.

“[Savitch] makes a big difference,” Coach Joe Abing said. “We were in better condition [Wednesday]. Last time, we were tired after having a practice that morning.”
