Cuesta Men's Water Polo has won the past five Western State Conference titles but had reason for concern when 8th-ranked Ventura came to San Luis obispo to face #10 Cuesta.  The Cougars and Pirates swapped the first two goals of the game, but then Cuesta went on a six-goal run to take control, 7-1.  Cuesta added two more goals to their lead before halftime and closed the third quarter with the game in hand, 16-7.  The Bucs did not stop and pushed hard until the final buzzer, while outscoring the Cougars, 5-3, in the final quarter, 19-12.  The Cougars win over the Pirates should help them moved back up the rankings, however, more importantly, it put Cuesta in position to win the program's 33rd conference title since 1979. It would also mark its third straight title under Coach Greg Enloe, along with maintaining the Cougars' streak of consecutive playoff berths, which stretches back to the program's inaugural season in 1979.  The Cougars are now 10-10 on the season, while boasting a pristine 2-0 mark during Western State Conference play.  
Returning All American Johnny Starr scored three goals in the Cougars win over the Pirates, while continuing to climb up Cuesta's all-time scoring list.  Starr, with 58 goals this season, is the second-leading scorer on the team, trailing only Center Dustin Drobeck (66), and has become the 39th Cuesta player to eclipse the "Century Mark" with over 100 goals for the Cougars.   Last year, Starr helped also three teammates achieve the milestone (Oliver Finley, Austin Majus and Andonis Petroutsas).and with a dozen games left in the season he could surpass each of them on the all-time list.  Starr has tallied 113 goals in 51 games at Cuesta.  
The Cougars shall host the Cuesta II Invitational this Friday and Saturday, before heading to the Golden West Tournament next week.  The Cougars shall open this weekend's play with a WSC contest against Citrus on Friday (9:10), as the second, overall, game of the tournament.
