3 Upsets, 3 OT Games Lead Week 11 Water Polo Results

Newly minted #1 Stanford held its own in a Saturday test against #3 UCLA, edging the Bruins 7-6 to move to 4-0 in MPSF play. UCLA ended the week at 4-1 in conference play after picking up a 13-3 Sunday win over #18 San Jose State.

#2 USC also picked up a Top 5 victory, downing #5 Cal 8-3 to move to 3-1 in MPSF play.

The CWPA rankings are likely to shake up a bit, however, as #4 Hawaii dropped a close one (7-6) to #8 UC Irvine on Friday. The Anteaters also notched another Top 10 win on the week, taking out #9 UC Davis 11-4 on Sunday. The Rainbow Wahine bounced back from the loss to UCI with a 15-7 win over #12 Long Beach State on Sunday. Hawaii and UC Irvine are tied for the top spot in the Big West standings at 3-1.
