Alejandra Barragan had a match-high five goals and fellow sophomore Chloe Patrick added three goals for second-seeded Birmingham Charter High in California in a 13-4 girls water polo victory against top-seeded Coronado High of California in the CIF Southern California Regional Division 3 championship match Feb. 28 at the Monte Nitzkowski Aquatics Center on the campus of Long Beach City College.
Eli St. Hubert, a freshman goalkeeper, recorded eight saves for the Patriots, who held Coronado scoreless in the second half and produced the final seven goals of the match. Joliette St. Hubert, a sophomore, scored twice for Birmingham.
