The IU water polo team is going to the NCAA Championship for the second time in program history.
Friday through Sunday, IU will be the location for the Collegiate Water Polo Association Eastern Championship, where an NCAA tournament berth will be earned.
Given the cumulative experience of the IU water polo team, one might think that it is a win-now team.
The 2011 team returned six starters. Four of the team’s seven seniors
have combined for 394 goals and 290 starts as Hoosiers entering the
season.
The Hoosiers defeated a pair of Ivy League opponents Saturday, knocking off Brown and Harvard 11-6 and 14-8, respectively, in College Park, Md.
The things coach Barry King would like to see his team improve upon in its final weekend of regular season play are small and understandably vague.
Indiana got back to their winning ways over the weekend, as they claimed a 4-1 record in their penultimate weekend of regular season play.
The Hoosiers have an opportunity to bounce back this weekend as they play five matches in Pennsylvania.
In a game in which the No. 12 Hoosiers controlled the action for most of the time and neither team held a lead of more than three points, four defensive lapses cost IU an opportunity to defeat rival Michigan for the first time in the seniors’ career.
Coach Barry King said the Hoosiers must stick to what has sparked their eight-game winning streak — their defense.
After a slow start, Lauren Wyckoff’s senior season is turning from disappointment to success every day
The No. 13 Hoosiers posted an 8-1 record during spring break, falling only to the No. 4 Rainbow Warriors of Hawai’i.
The IU water polo team’s five-game winning streak is predicated largely on defense, as the Hoosiers have allowed 4.8 goals per game in their past five matches. They look to take their strong defense into this weekend’s Aztec Invitational in San Diego.
The No. 17 IU water polo squad (7-8) took care of business during the weekend in Princeton, N.J., earning its first weekend sweep of the season.
The Hoosiers will look to continue their offensive success when they travel to Princeton, N.J., to take on Princeton, Marist and Maryland.
The IU water polo team capped off a 2-1 weekend at The Rodeo in Santa Clara, Calif.
The Hoosiers will take their battle-tested record out west to Santa Clara, Calif., this weekend where they will take on Pacific, Cal State-Monterey Bay and Santa Clara.
When a team starts a season 2-7, there is normally reason to worry. The IU water polo team has begun its 2011 season with such a record, going 1-3 on each weekend of its young season.
The IU waterpolo team will head west this weekend to California to take on UC Davis and to compete in the Stanford Invitational.
Köhli established a new IU single-season record as a sophomore, scoring 80 goals for the IU water polo team.
