The fall sports season is in full swing once again at La Verne, and with autumn comes the ideal weather for studying, social activities and of course, athletics.
The University of La Verne softball team went 4-3 over spring break, including 1-3 in Hawaii, ending with a record of 28-13 overall and 11-4 in Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference.
The University of La Verne men's water polo team capped off a successful 2002 season, finishing sixth at the Western Water Polo Association Championship with a 1-2 record at the University of California San Diego on Nov. 22-23.
The University of La Verne men's water polo team fired its way to a 3-1 finish in the Inland Empire Tournament, which was held last weekend at both Redlands and ULV.
Ranking in the top 20 teams in the national polls is an accomplishment that is usually reserved for well-established teams. However, the University of La Verne's men's water polo team has defied this stereotype by breaking into the national scene in only its third year of existence. By defeating numerous Division I teams and continuing to demonstrate a type of play that is consistently better than their opposition, the Leopards are quickly becoming the team to beat.
