Brooks, Gravatt score 3 apiece in sixth straight win

Maddie Brooks had three goals and four steals on Wednesday and AJ Gravatt added three goals for SBCC as the Vaqueros capped their WSC season with an 11-5 victory over Citrus at San Marcos High.

It was the sixth straight win and final home game for the Vaqueros (12-10, 5-1). SBCC finished second in the WSC in its first season of water polo and was a perfect 3-0 at home.

Rocio Fesembeck, the WSC scoring leader with 80 goals, added two goals, three steals and four drawn ejections for Santa Barbara, which led 5-2 at halftime.

"I am proud of our team and where we are today," said coach Chuckie Roth. "I told them we have overcome so much and at some moment, there would be a breaking point and we would not break.

"Kaitlyn Wentz Fitzgerald (1 goal, 2 steals, 3 drawn ejections) played with a so much heart and was a true recognizable force in this game."

The Vaqueros are playing four games in a three-day span. They'll play a 3 p.m. game at Saddleback on Thursday, then play twice in the Fullerton Tournament on Friday against Fullerton and Mt. San Antonio.
