MORENO VALLEY >> An outstanding 14 California Baptist University women's water polo players were named to the Association of Collegiate Water Polo Coaches All-Academic Team. It marks the most ACWPA All-Academic honorees in program history, previously held at 12 in 2007. ACWPC All-Academic awards are given in three tiers: outstanding, superior and excellent.

Allie Coleman and Jocelyn Schwegler each were tabbed Superior, while Lizette Perez and Caroline Howard rounded out the selection with Excellent honors. It was the fourth-straight honor for Evans, Menard and Rowland, while Castellano and Spezzaferri have both made the team three years in a row. Eubanks and Kavern also made repeat appearances on the list after debuting last season.
