One might have thought that a respite from ECAC hockey would be good for the men’s hockey team, which has yet to register a conference win and has been outscored 27-8 in ECAC play.

The men’s water polo team took the pool against a familiar foe at the Naval Academy Sunday, squaring off with Ivy League rival Princeton in the teams’ second meeting of the year.
