El Segundo had its chance in boys water polo on Monday.

The Eagles held a two-goal lead at halftime before the wheels came rolling off in the second half of a 13-8 Ocean League loss at Santa Monica.

El Segundo watched as Santa Monica went on a 10-3 run in the second-half.

Beau Blacksten and Nic Curcio each scored three goals for El Segundo (15-7, 4-1), and Morgan Sommo and Max Reynolds also scored. But the match left Coach George Harris frustrated.

"In the first half, everything we asked the kids to do defensively, we did. It's just a Jekyl and Hyde deal," Harris said. "We got outscored 10-3 in the second half. No one's done that to us. And I hate to say it, but it wasn't as much Santa Monica as it was us. We're still an enigma. We just don't get it. But the sun will shine tomorrow. We know we can play with these guys, at least at home."
