EMMITSBURG, Md. (March 4, 2022) – Three games await Mount St. Mary's women's water polo this weekend at the Harvard Invite. Two of the contests count toward Collegiate Water Polo Association play with a non-conference game against Cal Lutheran.
 
MOUNT UPDATE
 
Following a 4-5 start, the Mount has fallen on a rough patch, dropping eight consecutive games, along with a 0-4 record in CWPA play. Last weekend, the team succumbed in their home opener to #20 Princeton and three times to teams at Bucknell.
