CL Hawk Water Polo Drenches Pieper Warriors, 10-9

Canyon Lake’s Water Polo Boy’s Team became the first Hawk Sport to win their first game of competition. A Tuesday home date had the Hawks pitted against their sister school Pieper Warriors.

A sport that cannot be rained out won on a damp cloudy day, 10-9 in this exciting match.

“Very proud of our guys, for their first game ever, they greatly exceeded expectations,” Head Water Polo Coach Page Small said with resolve. “This game gives us a benchmark that we can build on….next up Canyon!”

Canyon Lake was holding onto a one goal advantage and at the 2 minute mark, Levi Garner scored what would be the winning goal on a penalty kick. This goal gave the Hawks a 2 goal lead, 10-8 and a chance to hold onto this tenuous margin.

But Pieper was not finished and scored with 30 seconds remaining that brought the score back down to that one goal lead, 10-9.

The Lake was able to play keep away to secure this first ever win. Another battle with Canyon will be a home contest starting at 4:30 on Tuesday September 6.

Come and watch a new and exciting game at the Hawk Water Complex.

GO SWIM & WIN HAWKS!!
