Wellington, FL – February 4, 2021 – With a spot in the 2021 Ylvisaker Cup final on the line, Beverly Polo pulled off an emphatic victory Thursday at the International Polo Club Palm Beach, defeating Tamera 11-5. The efficient attacking skills of Hilario Figueras, who led the way with six goals, helped secure the convincing victory and compete in their third consecutive final, facing Palm Beach Equine on the Home of the U.S. Polo Assn – Field 1.
Beverly Polo and Tamera met earlier in the Ylvisaker Cup with Tamera capturing the 14-10 victory, but Wednesday’s semifinal provided a different story as Beverly Polo came out strong and never trailed at any point in the game. Figueras provided a dynamic effort for Beverly Polo, matching his entire number of field goals in the season in one game, coming forward from the #4 position to add five goals in open play. Tamera had difficulties matching Beverly Polo, converting just two of their 11 shot attempts, affecting their chances to mount a comeback. Controlling possession, Beverly Polo’s defense was a significant factor in the game, holding Tamera to just one goal throughout the second half. Joining Figueras on the attack, Tolito Ocampo contributed with four assists to provide a strong duo for Beverly Polo to capture the impressive six-goal victory.
