The Long Beach Wilson boys’ water polo team lost Friday afternoon for the first time in nearly two years. The Bruins were defeated by Lake Forest El Toro, 4-3, in sudden-death overtime in a quarterfinal game at the South Coast tournament, ending their streak of 44 consecutive victories.

According to the Southern Section record book, the streak fell one short of the 45 consecutive victories by Corona del Mar between 1968-70.

The last Bruin loss was Oct. 27, 2001, against Corona del Mar.

Chris Allen scored the game-winner for El Toro, shoving in a pass from T.J. Fuentes with 2:08 left in sudden death.
