Turlock's varsity boys water polo team captured a victory over El Capitan in the Bulldogs' home league opener on Monday night, but the girls team did not have the same success. It took two overtime periods, but in the end, Christian Weaver was able to nudge a pair of goals to give his team the 1-0 start to the Central California Conference after winning it 13-11. “Our defense really thrived off the energy from the crowd in overtime and locked El Caps' offense down,” said Turlock head coach Manny Bettencourt.
