The UCLA Bruins, who entered the season as the preseason number one in the Collegiate Water Polo Association’s National Top 20, remain the unanimous first-place team in\u00a0week one. The Bruins were unanimous selections at number one. They are followed by in-state powers Southern California and California.<\/p>\n

Johns Hopkins University vaulted two spots to grab number one in the Division III polls.<\/p>\n

Press Release:<\/i><\/p>\n

BRIDGEPORT, Pa. —<\/strong>\u00a0The\u00a0University of California-Los Angeles<\/strong>\u00a0remains at No. 1 in the nation, while two others climb to the top spots in their respective rankings as the Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) releases the 2015 Men’s Varsity Week 1\/September 9 National Top 20, Division III Top 10 and Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) Top 10 Polls.<\/p>\n

Following a weekend which saw traditionally Division III teams knock off teams in the National Top 20 to stake their claim for a spot among the nation’s best regardless of National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) class, the top team in the nation remains unchanged as the UCLA becomes a unanimous No. 1 choice in the National Top 20 poll.<\/p>\n

However, the remainder of the rankings, including the rest of the Top 20, experienced significant changes as\u00a0Johns Hopkins University<\/strong>\u00a0dislodges\u00a0Whittier College<\/strong>\u00a0from the top position in the Division III Top 10 and Princeton University bumps\u00a0Brown University<\/strong>\u00a0from the paramount spot in the league’s CWPA Top 10 Poll.<\/p>\n

Voted on by a panel of coaches from the CWPA, Western Water Polo Association (WWPA), MPSF, Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SCIAC) and the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA), the polls will be compiled and released on Wednesday during each week of the season through the week following the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Championship.<\/p>\n

2015 Men’s Varsity National Top 20 (Week 1\/September 9)<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The 2014 National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Champion Bruins of the\u00a0University of California-Los Angeles<\/strong>\u00a0retain the No. 1 position in the 2015 Week 1\/September 9 National Top 20 Poll in grand fashion by becoming a unanimous top pick.<\/p>\n

The Bruins (100 points) lead a Top 20 which experienced no significant changes in the Top Five with the remainder of the rankings featuring a shuffling of teams.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0University of Southern California<\/strong>\u00a0(94 points), the\u00a0University of California<\/strong>\u00a0(91 points),\u00a0Stanford University<\/strong>\u00a0(85 points) and the\u00a0University of the Pacific<\/strong>\u00a0(81 points) hold firm behind UCLA at No. 2-to-5, respectively, after garnering the spots in the Preseason Top 20 Poll released on August 27.<\/p>\n

UCLA, USC, Cal, Stanford and Pacific hold a unique position in the Week 1 rankings as the quintet is joined by No. 11\u00a0Princeton University<\/strong>\u00a0and No. 15 the\u00a0United States Naval Academy<\/strong>\u00a0as the only programs to retain their Preason polling position after the opening weekend of competition.<\/p>\n

Changes start at No. 6 as the\u00a0University of California-Santa Barbara<\/strong>\u00a0(75 points) leaps over formerly No. 6-ranked\u00a0Long Beach State University<\/strong>\u00a0(67 points).\u00a0 The\u00a0University of California-Irvine<\/strong>\u00a0(61 points) and the\u00a0University of California-San Diego<\/strong>\u00a0(57 points) both rise one position to take over at No. 8 and 9, respectivley, with previously No. 8-ranked\u00a0Pepperdine University<\/strong>\u00a0(54 points) falling back to No. 10 to complete an All-California Top 10 for the second time this season.<\/p>\n

Princeton (49 points) assumes sole control at No. 11, while the\u00a0University of California-Davis<\/strong>\u00a0(45 points) inches in front of\u00a0Brown University<\/strong>\u00a0(44 points) as the Aggies and Bears stand at No. 12 and 13, respectively.<\/p>\n

San Jose State University<\/strong>\u00a0(33 points), which returned to varsity competition for the first time since 1981 with a victory against\u00a0Santa Clara University<\/strong>\u00a0over the weekend, takes over at No. 14 with Navy (29 points) anchored at No. 15 and the\u00a0United States Air Force Academy<\/strong>\u00a0(25 points) soaring up to No. 16.<\/p>\n

Bucknell University<\/strong>\u00a0(11 points) stampedes up the rankings to No. 17 prior to the Division III trio of\u00a0Johns Hopkins University<\/strong>\u00a0(9 points),\u00a0Whittier College<\/strong>\u00a0(9 points) and the\u00a0Massachusetts Institute of Technology<\/strong>\u00a0(8 points) rounding out the Top 20 in a tie at No. 19 and sole possession of the No. 20 slot, respectively.<\/p>\n

The Blue Jays, Poets and Engineers ranking in the Top 20 makes history as it is believed to mark the first time three Division III schools cracked the all-inclusive (Division I, II, III, NAIA) National Top 20.<\/p>\n

Outside the Top 20, eight schools received one or more votes as a total of 28 institutions garnered notice in the Week 1 poll.<\/p>\n
