The University of La Verne water polo team is a sight to behold. Sunday afternoon, at the University of Redlands, this scrappy group of players literally clawed and climbed all over anything that got in their way, lobbing passes, firing fast balls, and gently lofting the occasional shot just over the goal keeper's head, all while being stood on, pushed, yanked and thumped on their way to a 2-2 record against some of the best teams around.
