Alumni help Napa teams prep for water polo play

The Napa High varsity girls water polo team got its first dose of competition Saturday morning as it took on a team of Indians alumni in a scrimmage.

Bea Ramey, a 2003 graduate led the alumni in scoring. Chris Borasi, who coached the Indians from 2001 to 2004, coached an alumni squad that also included 2004 grad Rebecca Nogue, 2006 alumna Kali Grabenhauer, 2007 grads Lauren Turgliatto, Kelsi Espinoza and Michaela Jones, and 2008 alumna Alyssa Warrington and Maya Bailinson.

Sara Douglass and Crysta Deus led the varsity team with four goals apiece, while captains Erin Komplin and Cami Zeller, Alex St. Clair, Jamie Forcier and Lindsay Schmitz each added one goal.   Zeller chipped in three steals, Douglass, Komplin, Forcier and Emma Witt each had two steals, and Colleen Chester, Schmitz and St. Clair had one steal apiece.

Goaltender Sierra Barnes had three blocks and one steal while playing the first half, and Kaitlyn Shubin had four saves in the second half.

The Indians are scheduled to open their season at McClatchy-Sacramento at 3:30 p.m. Thursday.
