MONMOUTH, Ill. – Avid water polo fans, and even those who know little about the sport, are in for a treat this weekend when the Monmouth College women’s water polo team hosts an eight-team, 13-game league tournament spanning two days.
Ranked No. 2 in last week’s CWPA Division IIII Varsity poll, the Scots enter the weekend round robin affair with a 3-0 conference mark – their best league start in program history. The weekend’s opening match will be a battle of the top two teams in the polls as Monmouth opens play Saturday morning at 10 facing Macalester – No. 1 in last week’s poll – in a rematch battle of the Scots. Macalester edged Monmouth in the season opener one month ago. Monmouth returns to the pool at 5:30 to meet Penn State Behrend and riding a four-game win streak against the Lions.
It’s an early start for Monmouth Sunday when they open the day’s play with an 8:30 a.m. match looking for their first win against Washington and Jefferson. The Scots close the weekend at 1:30 facing Carthage, a team that clipped Monmouth a month ago to stay unbeaten against the Scots.
Games will run through 7 p.m. Saturday and conclude with Monmouth’s afternoon match on Sunday. Admission is free. For those unable to make it to the games, all matches will be webcast.
