WOODLAND, Calif. โ Ten members of the UCLA women's water polo team have been named Mountain Pacific Sports Federation (MPSF) All-Academic Scholar-Athletes for the 2018 season, MPSF Executive Director Al Beaird announced Thursday.
The 10 Bruins on the list match a league high for the year (Stanford). The UCLA selections are highlighted by six first-time honorees and each of its three seniors.
In order to qualify as an MPSF All-Academic Scholar-Athlete, a student-athlete must have a 3.00-or-better cumulative grade point average (GPA), be no lower than a sophomore in academic standing, have completed one full academic year at the institution prior to the season for which the award is received and have competed in 50 percent or more of the institution's competition in his or her respective sport.
Sophomore Haley Evans earned her first conference academic honor with a team-high 3.75 GPA. Joining her as first-time recipients are redshirt junior Grace Reego (3.71), junior Louise Hazell (3.33) and sophomores Hannah Storum (3.59), Bronte Halligan (3.34) and Maddie Musselman (3.33). Junior Lizette Rozeboom earned her second selection with a 3.46 GPA.
The senior class of Devin Grab (3.55), Alexis Angermund (3.27) and Nicole Reynolds (3.12) completed the clean sweep of MPSF All-Academic accolades, as each collected the third award of her career.
On Wednesday, UCLA women's water polo was also recognized for maintaining a perfect Academic Progress Rate (APR) from 2013-14 through 2016-17. APR is described as "an annual scorecard of academic achievement calculated for all Division I sports teams and measures eligibility, graduation and retention each semester or academic term." A school-record seven UCLA teams were recognized, with each posting a perfect score.
