ANN ARBOR, Mich. - The No. 11 Arizona State University water polo saw four players score multiple goals and the Sun Devils went on a 7-0 run to defeat Indiana, 12-3, Sunday morning in the Michigan Invitational being played inside the Canham Natatorium in Ann Arbor, Mich. The victory, ASU's second in a row, improved the Sun Devils' record to 2-1 on the year while the Hoosiers slipped to 1-2 overall.
