Cuesta Men's Water Polo continues to storm through the competition, the Cougars won the Mt San Antonio Tournament last weekend by outscoring their opponents, 69-24, over four games.  The Cougars played two relatively close games.  In the opener, they only beat Orange Coast, 12-9, however the Pirates were never within three goals after the opening quarter.  Cuesta closed Friday with a sound victory over El Camino, 20-3, and opened the second day of play by pummeling Palomar, 23-4.  The Cougars faced the host Mounties in the final game.   Cuesta never trailed, but also was unable to pull away until the final period.  The Cougars outscored their hosts 7-1 over the last eight minutes to seal the tournament victory, 14-8.  Cuesta is now 11-2 on the season, with their only setbacks coming against NCAA DI schools San Jose State and UC Davis.  

The Cougars host the 52nd Cuesta Invitational this Friday and Saturday.  On Friday, the Cougars open the tournament against American River (9 AM) and play Long Beach (1:30) later in the day.  Cuesta is slated to play two non-conference games against conference foes on Saturday.  They open the day with LA Valley (10:10) and close the tournament against Ventura (1:50).  On Thursday (2 PM) the Cougars will also play Golden West in a pre-tournament contest.
