One week after scoring a buzzer beater to lead the Cougars to the program's 32nd Western State Conference title, Freshman Driver Oliver Finley vaulted Cuesta Men's Water Polo team back into the CCCAA State Finals. Finley took the team on his shoulders and scored the game-winner to lead Cuesta past #4-seed Orange Coast in sudden death overtime, 18-17. Despite his recent offensive heroics Finley, a Freshman Driver from Cape Town, South Africa, is better known for his defense, where he leads the squad with 55 steals and 11 shot blocks. He is also tied for 5th on the team with 55 goals on the season.
