Men's water polo to face four familiar foes on road

Men's water polo faces four familiar foes this weekend. The Tigers, currently ranked 12th in the nation, will travel south to take on Johns Hopkins, Salem International, Navy and George Washington.While these teams are not necessarily at the apex of the Eastern Conference, and while Princeton (13-6 overall, 5-1 College Water Polo Association) has already played each team at least once, the road trip serves as an all-important tuneup before the championship season."Our practices and games are all meant for fine-tuning right now," senior utility Jake Harter said.The Tigers' first test, Johns Hopkins, is scheduled for Friday.
