he University of Southern California remains the undisputed No. 1-ranked women's water polo team in the land as the Women of Troy pick up 100 points to once again rate in the top spot of the Week 9/March 16 Women's Varsity National Top 25 Poll.
The Top Nine teams in the country remain unchanged as USC, the University of California-Los Angeles (96 points), Stanford University (92 points), the University of Hawaii (88 points), theUniversity of Michigan (83 points), the University of California-Davis (79 points), the University of California-Irvine (77 points), the University of California (71 points) and Arizona State University (69 points) rate at No. 1-to-9. UC-Davis and UC-Irvine are the only teams to change positions among the group as the squads were tied at No. 6 last week with the Aggies and Anteaters now rating at No. 6 and 7, respectively.

The University of the Pacific (54 points) and the University of California-Santa Barbara (53 points), which were tied at No. 12 seven days ago, shatter the tie to take hold of the No. 12 and 13 slots, while Loyola Marymount University (45 points) and Princeton University (41 points) exchange the No. 14 and 15 positions.
Indiana University (40 points) and Wagner College (36 points), which were tied at No. 16 last week, follow the pattern of UC-Davis/UC-Irvine and Pacific/UC-Santa Barbara as the Hoosiers tip the scales slightly in their favor to take hold at No. 16 and force the Seahawks back to No. 17.
San Diego State University (32 points) is the biggest mover of the week as the Aztecs leapfrog Harvard University (24 points) andHartwick College (24 points) to rank at No. 18 and drop the Crimson and Hawks into a tie at No. 19.
Long Beach State University (20 points) remains at No. 21 with California Baptist University (16 points) taking sole possession of the No. 22 berth.
