BRONX, NY. It might be said that one never knows who might be in the crowd at a water polo match. It might be Mehmet Oz<\/strong> cheering<\/a> on his beloved Harvard Crimson. Or\u2014as happened at Fordham University last Saturday night, it might be the Orozco family\u2014Salvador, Patricia and daughter Salma and Angelica Sanchez, Patricia\u2019s sister\u2014in town to cheer on Salvador Jr., a center for Salem University\u2019s<\/a> men\u2019s water polo team, as they squared off against Fordham.<\/p>\n

\"salem-logo\"<\/p>\n

Also on hand was Robert Bullion<\/strong>, the Tigers\u2019 head coach who spoke with Swimming World<\/em> immediately after Salem dropped a 14-8 decision to the host Rams<\/a> at Fordham’s Col. Francis B. Messmore Aquatic Center.<\/p>\n

Bullion, who ultimately succeed his father Keith as the Tigers\u2019 (7-12; 2-1 MAWPC-West) head men\u2019s water polo coach, had his team in New York City a week after a second-place finish at the Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) Division II Championships.<\/p>\n

– You brought your team to Fordham, which has one of the best pools in New York City for polo. What\u2019s the allure of this pool and our city?<\/strong><\/p>\n

We come here every year. It\u2019s a good, late-season tournament to come to. We have conference games next weekend and then we have championships after that. Getting ready for better play, better officiating, so this is a good tournament for us to end the year on.<\/p>\n

– After a tough loss in the morning to Iona it looks like your team simply ran out of gas against the Rams.<\/strong><\/p>\n

We\u2019ve been averaging 15 goals a game but our offense kind of stalled [today]. We put a lot of emphasis on defense, and they\u2019ve played very well this weekend. We\u2019re trying to improve more in those areas, so the more focus on defensive play has perhaps hindered our offensive play.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll get back at it and be better next weekend.<\/p>\n

– For a school in West Virginia, you\u2019ve got a roster of players from all over the world.<\/strong><\/p>\n

We\u2019re actually the only water polo program of any level in the state of West Virginia. College, age group, high school\u2014we\u2019re the number one in West Virginia! We get our players from all over the place.<\/p>\n

We have a unique academic system in our school that works very well with internationals as well as domestic [students]. We breed a brand of high-level water polo along with getting the job done in the classroom. [We have] the number one GPA<\/a> in the nation the last three years. [That includes] Division I, Division II and Division III\u2014and we\u2019d like to make it four.<\/p>\n

– You\u2019re a veteran of polo in the area around Pittsburgh, a real hotbed for the sport in the middle of the country.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I played four years of polo for Gannon\u2014and [the sport\u2019s] definitely growing in the region. I would love to tap in even more to Western Pennsylvania. I\u2019ve gotten some kids from Eastern Pennsylvania, but Gannon scoops up a lot of the Cathedral Prep kids. Then you have McDowell High School and North Allegheny and Pittsburgh, so they\u2019re really growing. I know Pittsburgh water polo\u2014we try to help them out as much as we can\u2014I\u2019ve gotten in with my assistant, Justin Kassab, with the Pittsburgh water polo master\u2019s team.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re not far from Pittsburgh so we try to help grow the sport as much as we can.<\/p>\n

– There\u2019s a reservoir of talent out in the region, including Nikola Malezanov<\/a>\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

Who is a Salem alum! He was a graduate assistant for my father.<\/p>\n

– \u2026 who was also a coach at Salem. He handed off the reins directly to you?<\/strong><\/p>\n

He spent four years keeping the program afloat until a revolving door of coaches finally came to me! [The administration said]: Rob, either get the program going or we may have to drop it. it took a couple of years but I\u2019ve been [at Salem] for eight seasons; we\u2019ve grown the level of water polo on the men\u2019s side. We just brought on our women\u2019s program for this coming spring, and we\u2019re very excited about that.<\/p>\n

Our swimming program just competed this weekend Urbana University They won their meet on Friday\u2014and I don\u2019t know how they did today [a loss to Notre Dame College, Ohio].<\/p>\n

As aquatics director I\u2019ve been put in the helm of growing aquatics as a whole, starting with men\u2019s water polo then spreading the wealth and getting it going on all the other fronts.<\/p>\n

– Would you agree that the outlook for water polo is positive?<\/strong><\/p>\n

As long as the programs can continue to come [online], as long as we don\u2019t lose programs\u2014like Hartwick<\/a>, who we lost this past year on the women\u2019s side. And that was terrible.<\/p>\n

The goal is to keep growing programs and not lose them.<\/p>\n

###<\/p>\n

Up in the stands overlooking the Rams\u2019 pool was the family of Salem junior Salvador Orozco. His mother, father, sister and aunt came all way from Commerce, California to cheer on the Tigers and their top center.<\/p>\n

Salvador Orozco, Sr.:<\/em><\/p>\n

– Why did you come to New York City from Commerce, California?<\/strong><\/p>\n

We thought we\u2019d come see our son play far away for two times during the season. This is one of the trips we wanted to take because we\u2019d never been to New York, and we get to watch him play, which is a huge bonus. Then we want to go to conference [tournament] wherever that\u2019s going to be at.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a great trip! It\u2019s been a lot of fun. We played this morning, it was a great game against Iona. it was even throughout the whole game. We lost at the end by one goal. But it was a fun time watching my son play. We haven\u2019t seen him play this whole season.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s a junior transfer from Cerritos College in California. It\u2019s fun to come and watch him play.<\/p>\n

We have two other daughters that are retired from playing.\u00a0Priscilla Orozco<\/strong> is the older one, and the next one is Sarah Orozco<\/strong>. They played for Team USA, [and] on Team Mexico as well. They were national champions at UCLA in 2009. Our daughters were All-American water polo players<\/p>\n

Both are now coaching in water polo; Priscilla coaches at Commerce and at Montebello High School. Sarah coaches<\/a> at Azusa Pacific University. So they remain very involved in the sport. They accomplished a lot in the sport\u2014both of them played overseas in Spain and Australia.<\/p>\n

My son has some good examples from his own sisters\u2019 success. He\u2019s hoping to play on the Mexican National Team and travel the world.<\/p>\n

Patricia Orozco:<\/em><\/p>\n

– Commerce is renowned for the polo players it produces\u2014especially talented women.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our athletes start at a very young age with swim lessons\u2014Mommy + Me, they get in as young as three months or six months old with lessons at the aquatics center. The city is very supportive of its community. The kids get to experience a lot due to the fact that the city sponsors [programs]<\/p>\n

– Your pool is indoors, which is a rarity in California.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In LA it\u2019s very unusual\u2014Commerce is seven miles from Los Angeles.<\/p>\n

– Brenda Villa<\/a> is one of the most famous graduate of the Commerce water polo program. What has her impact\u00a0on your community been?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our girls have watched [Villa\u2019s] career through all her success. It\u2019s a great example for them. It shows them that anything is possible. If they work hard and dream big, it\u2019s possible.<\/p>\n

Angelica Sanchez; \u201cAuntie\u201d; also from Commerce:<\/em><\/p>\n

This is a great experience. I\u2019ve seen all my nieces and my nephew play. My little one is eight and I\u2019m hoping that she\u2019ll soon come up in the ranks. We\u2019ll see what happens, but it\u2019s great to be supportive.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
