STANFORD, Calif. – The Cardinal was well represented on today's Peter J. Cutino Award watch list, as selected by USA Water Polo, The Olympic Club and the Association of Collegiate Water Polo Coaches (ACWPC). Botond Balogh, Alex Gheorghe and James Rozolis-Hill each earned spots on the 20-person shortlist.
Balogh and Gheorghe each earned All-America honors last season, the first of their careers. Rozolis-Hill, a transfer from Harvard, boasts three All-America nods from his time with the Crimson.
The Peter J. Cutino Award, named in honor of the late Hall of Fame coach, recognizes the best player in men's and women's college water polo. This watch list was created in 2022 in an effort to help promote the collegiate game, awareness of the award, and the tremendous play of athletes across the country.
