Rohnert Park, CA - With the Association of Collegiate Water Polo Coaches offering awards to All-America first team, second team, and honorable mention the Seawolves secured a spot in each category with 3 seniors receiving the award! Sonoma State finished the brief 2020 season at 9-8 winning 7 of their last 8 matches before the cancellation. Sonoma State University made the unfortunate decision of cutting the SSU water polo program as well as the men's and women;s tennis programs due to ongoing budget issues as a result of the COVID-19 situation. In the coming weeks we will honor those programs again by recognizing each team's seniors and current players. The ACWPC honored three Seawolf seniors today with All-America honors! 
 

Senior Cassidy Mundt led the charge once again for Sonoma State being elected First Team All-America, that is her first All-America selection in her Seawolf career. After battling injury during the 2019 season, Mundt returned for her redshirt senior year where she exploded offensively to help lead Sonoma to a 9-8 record. She overwhelmingly led the Seawolves with 48 goals on 91 total shots. Cassidy also earned WWPA player of the week during the 2020 season. The Seawolves traveled down to Southern California for a 4-game set where Mundt scored 15 goals on 26 total shots during the weekend to earn POTW honors for the WWPA. As a team, Sonoma would go on to win 3 of their 4 matches to add to the successful weekend! 



Jordan Williams continued her successful career at Sonoma State with her second ACWPC All-America selection. In back to back seasons, Jordan Williams received

Second Team All-America honors as she played in all 17 games for Sonoma State and finished third in scoring with 25 goals on 65 shots during the 2020 season. Her 2020 season high came against Claremont Mudd-Scripps where she put away 5 goals on 5 shots in the 10-7 team in! 

Finally, senior Annika Erickson earned ACWPC All-America honorable mention for the first time in her 2-year career at Sonoma State! Erickson transferred from Santa Rosa Junior College and made an immediate impact for the Seawolves during the 2019 season. Annika played in 20 games for the Seawolves and recorded 114 shots which was second most on the team during the 109 season. She also scored 44 goals and had 8 assists for a total of 52 points. During the 2020 season, Erickson played in all 17 games for the Seawolves and recorded 26 goals on 65 shots, good for second most on the team.




The Western Water Polo Association also came out with their conference team selections today as well and all three Seawolfs were honored in the same positions! Cassidy Mundt received First Team All-WWPA, Jordan Williams received Second Team All-WWPA honors, and Annika Erickson received honorable mention!   

The Seawolves had 3 seniors earn ACWPC All-America honors in a very fitting way to conclude the 2020 spring season. Be sure to look for senior spotlights for your water polo seniors after the cancellation of the 2020 season. Congratulations to Cassidy Mundt, Jordan Williams, and Annika Erickson on their All-America honors following the 2020 season!
