LOS ANGELES, Calif- As the summer rolls on, the awards continue to roll on in for the Sonoma State women's water polo team. It was announced on Thursday that six student-athletes were named to the Western Water Polo Association (WWPA) All-Academic team – four of which were named to the Association of Collegiate Water Polo Coaches (ACWPC) All-Academic team last week.

Holly Armijo, Sarah Clauss, Kelsey Lowy, Amanda Myers, Lindsay Rangel and Brooke Smith were honored by the WWPA for their efforts in the classroom and in the pool.

To be honored for the All-Academic team, student-athetes must sport a 3.0 grade point average, played in at least 50 percent of the team's matches in 2010 and was classified as a full-time student who has completed a minimum of one semester at her institution.

"I'm proud of our student-athlete's accomplishments in and out of the water,” head coach Coralie Simmons said. “Student-athletes must compete in the classroom as well as on the playing field. Hats off to all six of our ladies for their true commitment."

Armijo, Clauss, Myers and Rangel received national honors last week and were a part of 293 others to be recognized by the ACWPC.

Majoring in Human Development, Armijo appeared in all 36 matches for the Seawolves in 2010 and was the team's second-leading scorer with 45 goals. Clauss, also a Human Development major, scored three goals and passed out four assists in 23 appearances. As a freshman from Oakdale, Myers competed in 24 matches, scoring one goal for Sonoma State. Rangel, who was named to the WWPA All-Freshman team last month, started all 36 matches for the Seawolves and scored 24 goals while assisting on 19 others.

Lowy, a Business Administration major, appeared in all but one match for SSU this season, scoring 20 goals and giving out 11 assists. Smith, the lone senior on the conference's All-Academic team, was a regular in starting lineup for Coach Simmons, handing out a team-leading 35 assists on top of netting 22 goals.
