At 24-7, the Waves have authored a season worth celebrating — even if the latest poll nudged them down from #4 to #6. That two-spot slide says more about the tightening race around them than any crack in their own foundation. You don't stack 24 wins by accident. It takes discipline, depth, and a locker room that shows up night after night. The drop is a reminder that the margin at the top is razor-thin, and every match carries weight from here. This is still a team nobody wants to see on the other side of the net. The Waves lost some polling ground this week, but the resume still speaks loudly — and the story isn't finished yet.
