Two Poets Honored by Western Water Polo Association

Whittier College Men's Water Polo had two players honored by the Western Water Polo Association for their accomplishments during the 2008 season.  Goalkeeper Casey Regehr '10 earned All-WWPA second team honors while Alex Hernandez '12 was named to the All-Freshman team.

Regehr turned in a fantastic freshman campaign, taking over the Poets' goalkeeping duties after two seasons with All-American Matt Brammer in the cage.  Regehr made 266 saves on the season and led the team with 38 steals.  He was also an asset on the offensive end, finishing fourth on the team in assists.

Hernandez earned a spot on the All-Freshman team after finishing third on the Poets with 26 goals.  He also pitched in with 13 assists, 26 steals and 18 drawn ejections.  He led a 15-man freshmen class that has Head Coach Justin Pudwill excited for the future of Poets Men's Water Polo.  They ended the season ranked eighth in Division III and finished fifth in the SCIAC.  Their record of 12-16 overall was a three-game improvement on 2007.
