While Purdue has maintained a club water polo team since at least the 1980s, much of this early history has been lost. The overall records shown below start in 2009 when the CWPA began archiving Big10 scores, including no exhibitions/offseason games and combining A/B teams if applicable. If you know of any archived scores from before 2009, please send that information to the leadership team.
