No. 20 San Diego State water polo lives by three values: intensity, unity and mindfulness to win year in and year out.
Two years ago, the Aztecs were in the Final Four and have played 16 ranked teams so far this season.
Despite being 6-10 in those games, head coach Carin Crawford said there has been more chances to get wins.
“Some of those ranked opponents have been excellent teams and we’ve felt like we’ve played well against some top teams,” Crawford said.
