Girls Water Polo:

Talk about your tightly-contested postseason games.

La Salle hosted Redlands in Thursday’s second round of the CIF-SS Division 5 playoffs.

It was so close that two of the four quarters were decided by one goal each, and in the second (1-1) and fourth periods (2-2), the Lancers and Terriers matched each other’s output.

La Salle would edge Redlands, 9-7, and the Lancers are just three victories shy of a potential CIF championship.

Audrey Turner led the La Salle offense, scoring four times on six shots.

Freshman Grace Kachmarshy scored twice, had one assist and two steals.

River Lee, also a ninth grader, scored one goal and tied for a team-high four steals.

Candice Cheung contributed one goal, an assist and two steals.

Savannah Robles scored once and had a team-high three assists.

Monica Villasenor had 10 saves in goal for the Lancers.

Up next: La Salle will meet up with Ayala on Saturday in the quarterfinal round.

The Bulldogs (16-12) defeated their visitors from Santa Fe, 1-7, in Thursday’s second-round contest.

Box Score:
Redlands: 2-1-2-2-(7)
La Salle: 3-1-3-2-(9)

La Salle goals: Audrey Turner 4, Grace Kachmarsky 2, Candice Cheung 1, Savannah Robles 1, River Lee 1

Records: Redlands (20-3); La Salle (14-3)
