LOS ANGELES – The postponed 2020 men's water polo season is in action this weekend as LMU hosts California Baptist University for two games to officially open the Spring 2021 season.

The Lions, who enter the season tied for ninth nationally, will play the Lancers at both 11:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. The first matchup of the day will count in the WWPA standings.
 
Live scoring and possible streaming information will be available on the LMULions.com schedule page. Check in prior to game time for any changes or announcements.
 
Six WWPA institutions - Air Force, California Baptist, Concordia, Fresno Pacific, Loyola Marymount, and Santa Clara - are working on plans to compete in the 2020-21 season. Air Force, CBU and LMU open their respective seasons this Saturday, Jan. 23, while FPU, CUI and SCU start dates are still to be determined. Institutions will make their own determination in postponing or cancelling their seasons if circumstances do not allow for competition to take place.
 
UC Davis and UC San Diego opted out of the 2020-21 season earlier this week.
 
The WWPA will host its annual conference championship at a site to be determined, March 6-8, 2021, to decide the conference's automatic qualifier for the National Collegiate Water Polo Championship (March 20-21, 2021). The WWPA Championship will have a minimum of three teams competing.
 
The WWPA respects the necessary precautions to ensure the safety of student-athletes, coaches, staff, officials, and surrounding communities during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. All WWPA competitions will be conducted in accordance with the guidelines set forth by the host institution, the NCAA, and local health departments.
