The CU men’s club water polo “A” team defeated the Utah Utes 16-9 and advanced to participate in the national championship in Huntsville, Alabama. This game was considered a revenge game for Colorado, as they were 1-1 against Utah during the regular season after losing 14-7 in their last matchup. The outcome was a memorable ending for Colorado as it decided who moved to nationals and avenged the Buffaloes’ loss to Utah in the 2019 championship.
The team’s president Patrick Tippens discussed how the veteran upperclassmen had yet to win a conference championship, let alone a national title.
