Alex Young, a freshman from Schaumburg studying mining engineering, and Ashley Booth, a sophomore studying recreation, throw balls during a practice for the water polo club team Monday at the Dr. Edward J. Shea Natatorium. “It’s very physical, and you got to be a little crazy to play it,” Young said. “It’s like rugby, but it’s in the water and all the hitting is legal cause it’s under water.” The water polo team is open to players of any skill level and practices Mondays and Wednesdays.
