Prior to the swim meet, there was water polo in Singapore. The men's team, without superstar LSJU alum Ben Hallock, won their first three matches, then lost their last three, including the 7th place match by 9-8 to Italy. Team USA finished 8th out of 16 teams. LSJU alum Dylan Woodhead, rising junior Ryan Ohl and incoming freshman Connor Ohl were on Team USA.
The women's team, once the dominant program globally, again failed to podium. After lopsided wins over lightweight foes China, Argentina and Japan, Team USA lost to Greece in the quarterfinals 14-10 and then to Spain 13-12 in the bronze medal match. There were at least 4 LSJU players on the roster, Dylan Woodhead's sister Ella, plus Ryann Neushal, Jewel Roemer and Jenna Flynn. The 4th place finish mirrors last summer's 4th place at the Paris Olympics.
