MORENO VALLEY >> An outstanding 14 California Baptist University women's water polo players were named to the Association of Collegiate Water Polo Coaches All-Academic Team. It marks the most ACWPA All-Academic honorees in program history, previously held at 12 in 2007. ACWPC All-Academic awards are given in three tiers: outstanding, superior and excellent.
