Three times already this season, perennial powerhouse St. Mark’s has knocked off Jesuit Dallas in water polo.
The Lions took the latest clash 12-7 on Wednesday at the Segal Family Aquatic Center as part of their second season playing an independent schedule after the sport became sanctioned by the University Interscholastic League — of which St. Mark’s is not a member.
Previously, the Lions defeated the Rangers 11-5 at the season-opening Keller tournament on Aug. 11, then by a 19-3 score at the Jesuit tournament two weeks later. St. Mark’s has won the last seven meetings overall between the neighborhood rivals.
They’re scheduled for a fourth matchup this season on Sept. 26 at St. Mark’s. In the meantime, the Rangers (12-8) will begin District 2 play on Sept. 5 when they host Prosper.
