NCS Open final: Miramonte 9, Campolindo 7

Miramonte held off a scrappy Campolindo team to win its third consecutive North Coast Section Open Division crown. The Matadors jumped out to a 4-0 lead early in the first quarter, and led 8-2 at halftime. 

Rosalie Hassett scored three goals to lead Miramonte, and Natalie Stryker, Bea Hearey, and Audrina Kang all scored twice. 

Campolindo didn't stop fighting after going down big early. The Cougars scored the last three goals of the game.

Nikki Frazier got three shots past the keeper, Ana Pieper scored twice, and London Menard and Ainsley Hogan both scored once. Sophomore goalkeeper Sydney Kring helped keep the Moraga school in the game with 15 saves. 

Miramonte improved to 24-2, and Campolindo fell to 19-7. According to stats inputted into MaxPreps, it was the Orinda school's 20th consecutive victory over the Cougars.

"The lady MATS worked  extremely hard this season. We knew this was going be a difficult season after losing 9 seniors. However Saturday we  won our third consecutive NCS open division title.  As their coach I'm extremely proud of this group of young women. I attribute their success to the MATS culture which was here long before myself.  This is hard to articulate but in a nutshell it is a community built on love. The love for family and each other. A tradition of acceptance, inclusion, and support, from the players, parents, student, alumni, and the administrative staff.   What we are is more than winning games and titles.  We create an environment here at  Miramonte where their girls can become  successful as possible, in Water Polo, school, and life."  -- JOHN ROEMER, HEAD COACH, WOMEN'S WATER POLO, MIRAMONTE HIGH SCHOOL (11/12/23)
