BURBANK — Burroughs High's girls' water polo team played San Marino in a match earlier this season and the Indians were just no match for the Titans, who rolled to a 10-goal victory.
The Indians got a second crack at San Marino on Thursday in a pool-play contest in the Burbank Tournament.

Although Burroughs wasn't able to avenge the earlier loss, it did narrow the gap, as it suffered an 8-5 loss against the Titans.
This time around, the Indians (0-9) played the Titans (4-1) to a stalemate through two quarters. But San Marino was able to come on in the second half to secure the victory.
"The score from the first time we played them until now tells me a lot," said Burroughs Coach Michael Singhanate, whose squad was defeated in the tournament earlier Thursday by Sherman Oaks Notre Dame, 11-4. "To play them like we played them today is a big improvement. The team continues to get better and that's all we can ask of them."
