No. 16 Bulldog Men’s Water Polo Garners All-WWPA Awards

Three student-athletes on the No. 16 University of Redlands’ men’s water polo squad earned end-of-the-season awards from the Western Water Polo Association (WWPA), according to a release today.

Senior driver Andrew Becskehazy (Miami, FL) picked up First-Team All-WWPA honors after finishing the regular season with 62 goals in 33 games of work. Becskehazy earned First-Team All-America honors last season and picked up Second-Team All-WWPA laurels as well.

Earning a spot on the All-WWPA Second Team, junior center Brendan Meaney (Palm Desert, CA) helped power a potent Bulldog offense all season. Meaney currently leads the team in goals with 65, which ranks among the top 10 in the nation. This marks the first All-WWPA consideration he has received.

For his work as a first-year member of the Redlands water polo team, freshman driver Tyler Harp (San Bernardino, CA) landed on the WWPA All-Freshman Team. He has netted four goals on the season thus far going into the WWPA Championships.

Redlands (26-8, 9-1 SCIAC) travels to Claremont-Mudd-Scripps Colleges on Friday for a 11:30 a.m. game in the first round of the three-day WWPA Championships. The Bulldogs enter as the fourth-seeded team and square off against the fifth seed, Santa Clara University, on Friday.
