ANNAPOLIS, Md. - The La Salle University men's water polo team suffered a pair of losses at the Navy Open on Sunday. The Explorers fell to #18 George Washington, 22-3, before falling to Johns Hopkins by a 21-4 margin.
"This tournament was very valuable to us as an extension of our training camp," head coach
