September 24.\u00a0THE\u00a0reign of\u00a0<strong>Stanford University<\/strong>\u00a0as the No. 1 team in the nation is over as the\u00a0<strong>University of California-Los Angeles<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>Whittier College<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0<strong>Princeton University<\/strong>\u00a0now rank in the top spots as the Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) releases the 2014 Men&#8217;s Varsity Week 3\/September 24 National Top 20, Division III Top 10 and CWPA Top 10 Polls.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #222222;\">In the National Top 20 rankings, the Bruins of UCLA dispatched Stanford by a 9-7 final score in the title game of the NorCal Tournament at the\u00a0<strong>University of the Pacific<\/strong>\u00a0to terminate the Cardinal&#8217;s Preseason, Week 1 and Week 3 reign on top of the game of water polo to rate the unanimous top choice in this week&#8217;s balloting with 100 points.\u00a0 Stanford (95 points) falls back to No. 3, with the\u00a0<strong>University of California<\/strong>\u00a0(90 points) jumping over the\u00a0<strong>University of Southern California<\/strong>\u00a0(85 points), a team the Golden Bears dispatched 11-10 at NorCals, to take over at No. 3.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #222222;\">In the Division III ranks, Whittier sees its lead for the top position shrink from 13-points to just five as the Poets picked up 99 points to edge out\u00a0<strong>Johns Hopkins University<\/strong>\u00a0(94 points) for No. 1 position among small college institutions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #222222;\">Similar to the Division III Top 10 poll, the CWPA Top 10 experiences a closing of the gap between No. 1 and 2 as the Tigers of Princeton (98 points), which fell to Johns Hopkins by a 10-9 final on the road last weekend, now hold a narrow two-point lead over\u00a0<strong>Harvard University<\/strong>\u00a0(96 points) for top billing in the league.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #222222;\">Voted on by a panel of coaches from the CWPA, Western Water Polo Association (WWPA), Mountain Pacific Sports Federation (MPSF), Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SCIAC) and the National Association of

unanimous No. 1 selection in the Week 3\/September 24 National Top 20 Poll.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #222222;\">UCLA, which downed Stanford by a 9-7 final score, leads a Top 20 in which only the\u00a0<strong>University of California-San Diego<\/strong>\u00a0retains its ranking from last week as upsets abounded over the past seven days to shift the national water polo scene.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #222222;\">Behind UCLA and Stanford, the\u00a0<strong>University of California<\/strong>\u00a0(90 points) leapfrogs the\u00a0<strong>University of Southern California<\/strong>\u00a0(90 points) thanks to an 11-10 defeat of the defending National Champions in the Third Place game at NorCals.\u00a0 The tournament had a dramatic impact on the remainder of the Top 10 as the\u00a0<strong>University of California-Santa Barbara<\/strong>\u00a0(80 points) climbs to No. 5 on the back of a 9-7 victory over former No. 6 Pacific.\u00a0<strong>Long Beach State University<\/strong>\u00a0(75 points) and Pacific (71 points) ball back to No. 6 and 7, respectively, while UC-San Diego (65 points), which was tied with\u00a0<strong>Princeton University<\/strong>\u00a0at No. 8 last week, is the sole team to retain its ranking.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #222222;\">The\u00a0<strong>University of California-Irvine<\/strong>\u00a0(59 points) and the\u00a0<strong>University of California-Davis<\/strong>\u00a0(51 points) both improve one position to take over at No. 9 and 10 to complete the Top 10 and continue a trend of change throughout the Top 20.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #222222;\"><strong>Pepperdine University<\/strong>\u00a0(47 points) jumps two places to take over at No. 11, while Princeton (37 points), on the heels of a 10-9 loss on the road at\u00a0<strong>Johns Hopkins University<\/strong>, slips to No. 12.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #222222;\"><strong>Santa Clara University<\/strong>\u00a0(37 points),\u00a0<strong>Brown

while\u00a0<strong>George Washington University<\/strong>\u00a0(6 points) and Johns Hopkins (6 points) are tied at No. 20 to place 21 teams among the 20 best squads in the land.<\/p>\n<p
