WATER POLO

No. 14 BYUH host No. 1 Stanford today

The Brigham Young University-Hawai'i men's water polo team moved up to 14th in this week's Collegiate Coaches Water Polo poll released yesterday.

The Seasiders, ranked 17th last week, took a pair of matches from then-No. 13 Pacific.

Tonight, they will host top-ranked Stanford at 7. The teams were also scheduled to play Tuesday, but that match has been canceled. The Cardinal will be without Olympian Tony Azevedo, who won't join the team until later this month.

BYUH also hosts 20th-ranked Cal Baptist tomorrow and Monday.
