ST ANDREWS, SCOTLAND. Kimberly Watson<\/strong> has been an incredible contributor to the University of St Andrews Women\u2019s Water Polo team this season. Watson, originally from Pointe-Claire, Quebec, made a lasting impression in the NCAA for her incredible offensive abilities, scoring 285 goals in her four seasons to finish third all-time at Wagner College on New York City’s Staten Island. Now, she\u2019s moved on\u2014studying for her masters in International Business at the University of St Andrews, world-renown for its teaching, research, and reputation as the Home of Golf\u2014and extending her prolific polo career across the Atlantic.<\/p>\n

The St Andrews Women\u2019s Water Polo Team<\/a> is one of the university’s top competing teams. The season the Saints finished undefeated in the BUCS Premier League (the United Kingdom’s highest division), winning all ten matches.<\/p>\n

Saints Water Polo is made up of girls from all over the world\u2014North America, South Africa, the UK and various countries in Europe. This uniquely international experience has been a tremendous growth opportunity.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe player and coach structure is a bit different here,” Watson said in a recent interview. “I\u2019m able to be more vocal and help some of our newer players with skills and concepts.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the pool, Watson set various new school records, registering 63 goals and 62 assists in the regular season. She is also fastest on the team, winning 30 of 31 swim offs this season. Outside of St Andrews, Watson and four other talented Saints Water Polo players compete for Coventry in the British National League Division 1, the highest level of water polo in the UK. Watson is the leagues’ leading scorer; playing in the national league has allowed her to continue compete\u2014and shine\u2014for at least one more year.<\/p>\n

Outside of the pool, Watson has enjoyed the opportunity to further her studies at a world-class institution.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had never been in the UK before,\u201d said Watson, \u201cso I didn\u2019t really know what to expect. It\u2019s a cute, small town\u2026 a lot different than being in New York City. But, I\u2019ve adapted and enjoyed my experience here thus far. Academics are certainly more challenging than I expected, probably because it\u2019s a Masters program but it has been nice to really push myself more than I have in the past.\u201d<\/p>\n

When asked about the difference between British and American polo, Watson touched on the growth opportunities that British sports promote.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe water polo environment here in the UK and at St Andrews is a lot more encouraging and welcoming,” she said. “It\u2019s more stress-free, and people are genuinely playing to learn and for fun. That being said there is a good balance between development and high level of play. Because of that, I get to be a leader and provide my input on drills and other things I think would be valuable for our team.\u201d<\/p>\n

Overall, Watson and her coach, Ian MacCallum<\/strong>, agree that these British postgraduate scholarships are the ideal situation for student-athletes wrapping up their time in the NCAA.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wasn\u2019t ready to drop water polo and knew I wanted to stay in school but that\u2019s not possible in the NCAA,” Watson explained. “Once you\u2019ve done your four years, you\u2019re done. I wanted to slowly ease out, so this was the perfect opportunity. It\u2019s a lot less practice and more flexible hours. If you can\u2019t make a practice, it\u2019s not the end of the world.<\/p>\n

“This more flexible structure allows you to have a better balance between school, water polo and your social life, and even traveling to new countries! I think that\u2019s why this has been such a perfect fit for me. Plus, the water polo community is quite small. I\u2019m playing against girls who know some of my Wagner teammates from their childhood, so it\u2019s really cool to be a part of this global community.\u201d<\/p>\n

Coach MacCallum is proud of the program they have developed in St Andrews and is really encouraging of his squad. He feels Saints Water Polo is a unique opportunity that NCAA student athletes are looking for while continuing their education.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf students want to play another year, it\u2019s a fantastic opportunity to play in a different environment and to travel,” MacCallum said. “Our girls have been all over the UK, to Hungary and have trained in Barcelona. It\u2019s an awesome opportunity to continue to play [and] a whole new experience for our student athletes. There are great opportunities to meet new people, to experience new cultures and expand your network for jobs and after graduation.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the postseason, the Saints extended their undefeated streak, beating Newcastle and Edinburgh in the playoffs and then defeating defending champion Durham in the final of the national BUCS Championship. With the win, they delivered the trophy to St. Andrews for the first time ever. In the process, they became the first all-women\u2019s team from St. Andrews to win a BUCS Championship.<\/p>\n

For now, players and staff will rest, but Coach MacCallum and his team are already looking ahead to the European Student Water Polo Championships in Slovenia this summer. Planning has also started for the defense of their title next season as the Saints look forward to new players embarking on their journey at the University of St. Andrews next fall.<\/p>\n

Originally from Menlo Park, CA where her love of water polo developed under the coaching of four-time Olympian Brenda Villa, Maddie Tarr<\/strong> is a recent graduate of the University of St. Andrews in Scotland. <\/em><\/p>\n

Although she had an enjoyable time playing water polo at St. Andrews, where she studied Management, Tarr’s true passion is basketball, where she was a two-year captain for the Saints. At University she also worked for Saints Sport as their Student Executive of Publicity and Media.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
