WATER POLO

UCLA two-meter defender Robin Beauregard, formerly of Marina High, will miss at least three weeks from the U.S. national women’s team, including the Holiday Cup in Los Alamitos July 4-9, with a dislocated left kneecap.

The injury happened at a pre-Olympic event in Australia June 17, when Beauregard slipped and fell on a pool deck, she said.
