The 2018 Association of Collegiate Water Polo Coaches (ACWPC) Division I All-America selections are now out, and\u2014no surprise\u2013they confirm the strength of the pool of talent at Cal, Stanford, UCLA and USC.<\/p>\n

18 members of the big four were among the country\u2019s top 25 selections for First, Second and Third Team All-American: six were Trojans\u2014including two 1st teamers; four were Cardinals\u2014also two first team honorees; four Bruins, again with two top starters; and four Golden Bears, counting a lone First teamer.<\/p>\n

Leading the way as the 2018 ACWPC Player of the Year is Stanford\u2019s Ben Hallock<\/strong>, The red-shirt sophomore\u2014he missed his first year on The Farm because he was representing the U.S. in the Rio Olympics\u2014followed up on his initial campaign as a Cardinal, when he claimed Mountain Pacific Sports Federation 2017 Newcomer of the Year, with a brilliant sophomore campaign. Hallock scored 65 goals to lead his team to its first NCAA final in a decade. In the national championship match, he keyed a ferocious Cardinal comeback, scoring five times in the second half, helping to cut an eight-goal USC lead to two before the Trojans sealed the deal in a 14-12 victory<\/a>.<\/p>\n

For his team\u2019s success in capturing a 10th NCAA title in the past 20 years, USC Head Coach Jovan Vavic<\/strong> captured Coach of the Year honors for the 15th time (9 times for the men; 6 for the women). A stat that is perhaps even more impressive than winning 50% of the men’s titles in the last two decades is that Vavic led his Trojans to their 14th-straight NCAA final, a string of dominance that is unmatched in any other NCAA varsity sport. With his women’s team winning it’s sixth women’s title last may, Vavic swept Coach of the Year honors for the fifth time.<\/p>\n

The 2018 ACWPC First Team was (perhaps) predictable; starting with a par of Bruins who could not overcome their arch-rivals in a thrilling NCAA semifinal match\u2014though it certainly was not the fault of goalie Alex Wolf<\/strong> or attacker Nicholas Saveljic<\/strong>. Now a junior and one of the nation\u2019s top goalies, UCLA\u2019s Wolf was brilliant all season, but no more so than in stopping 16 Trojan shots in an 8-7 loss<\/a>. Unfortunately, junior Sam Slobodien<\/strong>\u00a0spoiled Wolf’s performance, slipping the game-winner past the Bruin red-shirt junior with five seconds remaining.<\/p>\n

Saveljic had a strong second year in Westwood, leading the Bruins in goals (51); however, the lefty from Montenegro was overshadowed by a lefty sophomore from Croatia. Jacob Mercep<\/strong>, a transfer from San Jose State, led USC with 62 goals and was the pivotal playing for the Trojans in the national championship final, roasting the Cardinal for five scores and taking finals MVP honors.<\/p>\n

Joining Hallock as a first-team All-American was Stanford’s\u00a0Bennett Williams<\/strong>. The junior delivered a virtuoso performance in 2018, scoring 62 times and teaming with Hallock to produce a 21-3 record. A key consideration for Williams was his performance in three matches this season against Southern Cal, where he hit for seven goals, including four in a narrow one goal loss on October 14.<\/p>\n

The only freshman on first team was Trojan newcomer Hannes Daube<\/strong>, who was perhaps the most electrifying player in NCAA men\u2019s water polo this fall. His booming shot\u2014in the semifinal against UCLA he hammered home three goals, all of which that Wolf had no chance on\u2014Daube scored 58 times and was a reliable compliment to Mercep and fellow U.S. National Team member Marko Vavic <\/strong>(57 goals), who he pushed to All-American second team.<\/p>\n

Rounding out the first team are Cal\u2019s superlative scorer Johnny Hooper<\/strong> and Pacific\u2019s dominant lefty Luke Pavillard<\/strong>. The Australian lefty again led the Tigers in scoring\u201473 goals and 28 assists for 101 points\u2014and did all he could to get his team to a second-straight NCAA berth; they fell short in a 10-6 loss to Long Beach State in the Golden Coast Conference final, where Pavillard rang up a pair of goals.<\/p>\n

At least he has another season to try again for an NCAA title; this season represents the end of the road for the acrobatic Hooper, who scored 49 times in an abbreviated season; the Golden Bear senior answered the siren call of Team USA men\u2019s head coach Dejan Udovicic<\/strong> to compete<\/a> in an international tournament in Berlin. Cal may have paid a price for their star\u2019s absence, dropping a 15-14 overtime decision to Harvard\u2014the first time the Crimson ever beat a top-three squad.<\/p>\n

What we\u2019ll all miss most about Hooper\u2019s departure from the college ranks was his incredible athleticism and versatility; when he wasn\u2019t scoring\u2014245 for his Cal career, second all-time to Chris Humbert <\/strong>(296)\u2014the 6-1 attacker was frustrating opposing offenses with 30 steals this season; he leaves Berkeley with over 130 thefts, at the top of Cal\u2019s all-time list.<\/p>\n
