Rewind to one year ago, when the Redlands and the La Verne men's water polo teams were battling against each other in every game they met with aggressiveness and toughness.
Rebounding from a disappointing showing at last week's UC San Diego tournament, the men's water polo team traveled to the Inland Empire Tournament September 15-16 and swam away with three victories and one loss.
On Nov. 16, 2000, it was just another day in paradise in Honolulu, Hawaii. The skies were partly cloudy with scattered showers, and the temperature remained consistently in the mid-80s.
It was the championship game where both teams came prepared to battle through four painful, dirty quarters. It was the first ranked team playing against the second ranked team, and both teams came to win.
