San Marcos High School’s girls water polo team continued its dominance by winning its fifth consecutive Channel League title with an 18-6 victory over Dos Pueblos at Elings Aquatic Center. The Royals went undefeated against league opponents during the regular season and secured the outright championship by defeating both Santa Barbara High and Dos Pueblos in the league tournament. The victory marked the final Channel League title for longtime head coach Chuckie Roth, who has guided the program to 10 league championships since 2014. In the Channel League third-place game, Santa Barbara High defeated Buena High 13-8. Santa Barbara High will also await its playoff draw on Friday.
