A year after winning the Bay Division and qualifying for the CCS Division III bracket, girls’ water polo is looking to have another stellar season. All-league seniors Natalie Sullivan Wu, Alex Gratch, and Lily Hartley return for their fourth year at the varsity level.
Having won a championship in the Ocean Division their freshman year as well, the group certainly has experience. After two straight seasons with identical rosters, the seniors will look to guide a younger team, with two freshmen and six players previously on the junior varsity (JV) team.
The program will particularly miss goalie Alex Dolginskiy, who helped last year’s squad to a 15-5 record. However, incoming goalie and senior Victoria Sampaio Quintanilha has shown a lot of promise, according to co-captain Sullivan Wu.
In its second scrimmage of the year on Aug. 26, Burlingame looked strong defensively and offensively, outscoring Aragon High School 24-4. Early season reps will only help a Panther squad that has a strong chance of a second-straight PAL title and CCS berth.
