The Turlock High varsity girls water polo team thought they needed a win in their season finale to secure the third and final postseason spot in the Central California Conference. Pitman was down a game to Turlock at 5-6, and with a win, could tie Turlock for the third spot, however, the tiebreaker was given to the Bulldogs despite the outcome of Wednesday's game. The Pride hosted the Bulldogs on senior night Wednesday and carried the hype from the player announcements, to the national anthem and well into the game from beginning to end in a wild nail biter that ended in the Prides' favor, 8-7.
