Mater Dei’s boys water polo team made an impressive run to the finals of the Santa Barbara Invitational but it came to a halt in the finals against Division 1 rival Harvard-Westlake of Studio City.
Harvard-Westlake defended its tournament title with a 12-3 victory at Dos Pueblos on Saturday.
In the semifinals, Huntington Beach played Harvard-Westlake closer, pushing the Wolverines in an 11-7 loss. The Oilers fell in the third-place match to Loyola of Los Angeles, 7-6.
