2025 Princeton University Men’s Water Polo Schedule
PRINCETON, N.J. – The reigning four-time Northeast Water Polo Conference (NWPC) Champion Tigers of Princeton University announced the program’s 2025 men’s water polo schedule.
“After graduating 10 student-athletes from the great Class of 2025, the returning players, incoming guys, and staff are eager to compete this fall and build on the successes of those that came before,” said head coach Dustin Litvak.
“Once again, we have put together a formidable schedule against the nation’s best college teams as well as two of the top international professional clubs in an exciting early season exhibition series. We have several games on our slate, both home and away, that will put us to the test, mentally, physically and emotionally, with the goal again to make the NCAA tournament and compete for a National Championship. As excited as I am to get started with this group in mid-August, I am more than anything looking forward to the growth of this group throughout the season.”
The Tigers’ first completion of the season is against FTC, a Hungarian team in New York City in an exhibition on September 3. The Princeton Invitational runs from September 5-7 with the Tigers taking on six squads including Pro Recco (September 6), an Italian professional team.
