You thought you had opponents with eligibility problems - fullmetal - 12-02-2012

...imagine swimming against an Olympian, but in high school.  2012 Olympic champion (4 gold, 1 bronze) Missy Franklin, committed to swimming for kal next year, will still be competing for her high school this winter.

How do you think the opponents of Stanford's women's water polo team will feel as they prepare to face a team that has captured the past two NCAA titles and will feature three members of the gold medal-winning U.S. Olympic Team (Annika Dries, Melissa Seidemann and Maggie Steffens - none of whom were on last year's Stanford NC team), the 2012 Player of the Year Kiley Neushul and arguably the best goalie in the country Kate Baldoni.

Ha...that tends to be par for the course for Stanford women's water polo, is it not?  I was just looking at the Olympian versus high school difference.
