Stadium, Auburn Games Canceled
Tuesday's water polo game against Stadium, and Thursday's against Auburn have been canceled.
The Stadium game is canceled because they have not met their minimum practice requirement. We hope to re-schedule our game with them. Auburn is not fielding a team this year, so both of our games against Auburn have been canceled.
