Delayne Lynton scored five goals, including the game winner in overtime, as the Murrieta Valley High School girls water polo team beat El Toro 10-8 in overtime Saturday to win the CIF-SS Division 2 championship.
The victory at Woollett Aquatics Center in Irvine gave the Nighthawks their fifth CIF championship. Coach Bryan Lynton, who also coached the boys water polo team to a title last fall, has won seven CIF titles overall.
Senior attackers Lynton and Tara Prentice scored in the final minute of overtime to break an 8-8 tie and send the Nighthawks to victory. Goalkeeper Morgan Jones made several key saves.
