A midterm look at w. water polo

The 2004 season has been going well for the women's water polo team. The Tigers (19-7 overall) have proven their depth and skill throughout the last couple of months, competing against some of the top teams on the East Coast and doing the same in California.Despite a heartbreaking loss to Brown this weekend at the ECAC Championships, a title that the women brought home last year, the Tigers have managed a successful season thus far and are looking ahead to the Eastern Championships and Southern Championships, as well as this weekend when they will host the Olympics-bound Team USA at DeNunzio Pool.Overall, the Tigers have had no blowout losses, while many of their wins have been extremely one-sided, including a 17-2 win over Marist at the beginning of the season and an 18-3 win over Slippery Rock, in which 11 different Tigers put goals on the scoreboard.
