BRIDGEPORT, Pa. – The Navy water polo team (6-3) remained ranked in the Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) national rankings, coming in at No. 19, as announced on Wednesday afternoon.
Last week, the Midshipmen defeated rival then-ranked Air Force, 11-7, at home to reclaim the Freedom Vase in the team's only game of the week.
The Midshipmen entered the preseason poll ranked No. 20, but moved up as high as No. 13 following a strong outing in California that included a 10-9 upset of then-No. 9 Long Beach State. The Mids ranked No. 18 in the Week 2 poll before coming in No. 19 in Week 3.
Navy returns to action Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 23-24, as the Midshipmen head to Morgantown, W.Va. for the Salem Invitational. On Saturday, the Mids will play a Mid-Atlantic Water Polo Conference (MAWPC) game against Mount St. Mary's (12:00 p.m.) before taking on tournament-host Salem (5:15 p.m.). The Midshipmen conclude the weekend with games against McKendree (8:00 a.m.) and Gannon (3:00 p.m.) on Sunday. All four games will be live streamed.
