The CSU Monterey Bay Woman’s Water Polo team has been working hard during the off-season in preparation for the 2008 season. The team is returning three or four starters from last season including their goalie, senior Liberal Studies major Jenna Beer. “We’re really excited for the upcoming season,” said Beer, “It’s great seeing the transfers, freshmen and returning members coming together. Hopefully we can carry off last year’s performance and make school history again.”

Beer’s reference to last year’s 18-18 record is a notable accomplishment, considering the team is entering its first season of Division II play.

“We’ve got a lot of great new additions and we’ve dedicated a lot of hard work and effort toward the upcoming season,” said senior Liberal Studies major and utility player Christy Thompson. “It should be an even better season then last year.”

Many students from around the campus are excited to see if the team can continue its solid play from last season, including Junior Human Communications major Sarah Dodson.

“I’m excited to watch them this year. I used to play in high school so it’s fun to watch and remember what it was like to play,” said Dodson.

The first home game of the season is scheduled for Saturday Jan. 26 against Cal Maritime Academy and practices can be seen Monday through Thursday from 6 to 8 p.m.
