The El Segundo girls water polo team had its 30-game Ocean League winning streak snapped when it fell to Santa Monica, 5-4, at the El Segundo Plunge on Tuesday.

El Segundo (10-12, 4-1) led, 3-2, going into the fourth quarter, but could not hold onto the lead.

The Eagles also had won 29 consecutive league games at home before falling to Santa Monica (10-7, 5-0), which is ranked seventh in CIF Division V and sits in first place, one game ahead of El Segundo, in league play.

"Streaks are made to be broken, now we just have to start over," El Segundo assistant coach George Harris said.

Julianne Allison had three goals and Colette Gulick added a goal for El Segundo. Haley Cox made eight saves for El Segundo.

"It was a defensive game all the way," Harris said. "We just need to be able to finish."
