Women's Water Polo Rises to No. 4 in National Poll

SHERMAN, Texas - After sweeping all four opponents in their trip to Wisconsin this past weekend to improve to 10-7 overall and 9-1 against Division III opponents, the Austin College women's water polo has landed at No. 4 in the latest Division III Top 10 poll. That marks the highest ranking in the young program's history.

The 'Roos defeated Wittenberg, Macalester, Carthage, and No. 9-ranked Augustana by a combined margin of 65-17, including a 19-0 win over Carthage for the first shutout in program history. That was enough to boost Austin College from No. 6 in last week's poll up to No. 4 this week. That tops the program's previous best ranking of No. 5 earlier this season.

Austin College has locked up the No. 1-seed in the CWPA West Region Tournament, which will take place in Grove City, Pennsylvania next weekend.
