Strong Spartan Representation On MPSF All-Academic Team

Woodland, Calif.---- For the second consecutive season, more than 50 percent of the San José State University women's water polo team was named to the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation (MPSF) All-Academic team.
 
            In 2021, 13 of the team's 18 student-athletes on the roster, 72.2 percent of the Spartans earned the conference's academic honor. Nine of them were named Academic All-MPSF for either the second or third time.
 
            To qualify for Academic All-MPSF honors, a student-athlete must complete one full year at the nominating institution, be of sophomore standing or higher and possess at least a 3.00 cumulative grade-point average.
