The Villages defeated MJVH Polo 10-5.5 to win the 2019 La Aguada Ladies Cup, at La Aguada Polo Club, in Open Door, Argentina, on Friday, December 6. Lia Salvo was named Most Valuable Player. Meanwhile, La Aguada took a 7.5-3 win over Agua Fria Ourofino, and earned third place.
The La Aguada Ladies Cup is one of the most important competitions within the busy ladies calendar of the spring polo season in Argentina. The 2019 roster featured four teams up to 18 goals (women’s handicaps) with two American women’s polo powerhouses, Paige McCabe (The Villages) and Courtney Asdourian (Agua Fria Ourofino) among the competitors.
Following the awards presentation, teams, players, media and special guests enjoyed the warmth of the Novillo Astrada family at their home, with a great closing party and Argentine asado, in an ideal atmosphere for fun with family and friends—the spirit of La Aguada Polo Club.
