PRINCETON, N.J. – The Princeton Tigers come in at No. 12 in the Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) Preseason Varsity Poll, the organization announced today.
Princeton made the 2018 CWPA Championship Game, marking the sixth time in the last seven seasons it had reached the 20-win milestone. The Tigers won 12 games vs. ranked opponents and six contests vs. California teams. Princeton had one of its signature victories in program history, taking down No. 9 Michigan during the regular season, ending the Wolverines' 24-game conference streak.
Some of the top returners this season are Lindsey Kelleher and Marissa Webb, who earned CWPA All-Conference second team accolades in 2018. Derek Ellingson was promoted to women's water polo head coach in June of 2018.
The defending national champion, USC, is No. 1 in the Varsity Poll, followed by Stanford, UCLA, Calif., and Arizona State. Michigan is the top CWPA squad in the poll at No. 9.
