Cruise control: Golden Valley water polo boys one win away from perfect season
The Merced boys water polo team put a brief scare into Golden Valley's undefeated Central California Conference title run on Tuesday evening, but couldn't slow the play of Taylor Rocha down the stretch.
GV's star scored five goals and assisted on two more as Golden Valley beat Merced 8-5 at Merced College to wrap up the outright CCC title.
Case Vyfhuzen added a pair of goals and an assist as Golden Valley (11-0 CCC, 21-2) raced out to an early lead.
