LOS ANGELES – Loyola Marymount men's water polo has one final non-conference game this week before shifting focus to the WWPA Tournament. The Lions (12-12, 5-2 WWP) face Long Beach State (9-11, 2-2 GCC) Ken Lindgren Aquatics Center on the LBSU campus Wednesday at 7 p.m.
Â
LMU enters the game winners of four of their last five games, and the Beach snapped a five-game losing streak with two straight conference wins to open November.

At the latest Collegiate Water Polo Association polls, Long Beach State checked in at No. 8 and LMU was tabbed at No. 15. The new poll will be released on game day this Wednesday.
