Redlands water polo team moves up a notch

A schedule replete with formidable opponents at the SoCal Water Polo Tournament from Oct. 11-12 was rewarded as the University of Redlands men's water polo team jumped one spot to the No. 15 ranking in the Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA).

Redlands, a consensus No. 1 among Division III institutions, won against No. 14 St. Francis College (NY) over the weekend, solidifying an upward move in the rankings. The Bulldogs lost to No. 5 Pepperdine University and No. 9 UC Irvine, and it narrowly lost to No. 12 Princeton University (NJ) in a sudden-death overtime period in the SoCal Water Polo Tournament as well.

No other Division III institution is ranked in the Varsity Top 20 poll.

This Saturday, Oct. 18, the Bulldogs (15-7) start their Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SCIAC) slate with an away game against Cal Lutheran University at 11 a.m.
