The Troubadors’ goalkeeper held six-time defending champion Davis in check to help St. Francis win the Sac-Joaquin Section Division I championship. Minor shut the Blue Devils out in the fourth quarter as junior Sally Ferguson scored twice in the final period to give the Troubadors a come-from-behind 6-5 victory. The win halted Davis’ title streak and earned St. Francis its fourth section water polo championship and first since 2008. Minor and junior Maddy Vine combined to hold opponents to just 11 goals while St. Francis scored 37 goals over three playoff games. Minor recorded 15 wins for the Troubadors this season, including all three postseason victories. Her play in the cage allowed the offense to rally with a pair of goals, including the game-winner in the final minute. Minor made a final save with 15 seconds left in the final and threw her last outlet pass to run out the clock in the win.

IN HER OWN WORDS: “It was awesome,” Minor said after the section title win. “Everyone was pumped. We were so into it and playing as a team. There were so many steals, and when that happens it helps everyone on the team for the next possession or defensive stand. It was great.”
