SAN JOSE, Calif. - San José State men's water polo players, Bence Szabo, Mateja Bosic, and Bredon Gyapjas were named to the West Coast Conference all-conference teams on Wednesday morning. Szabo received first-team honors while Bosic was listed on the second-team, and Gyapjas received honorable mention honors.
"I am very proud of them I think they are having a really good season. Two of them being first years and one being a junior shows the future of our program is pretty bright. Bence and Mateja have been very dominant in offense the season and Brendon has been an impact player ever since he started for us. I'm excited for them and hopefully, they receive more of these titles in the future." Said interim head coach Gabor Sarusi.
