Five Colonials made the ACWPC All-Academic Team
The Colonials were also lauded as a group for their success in the classroom thanks to their combined cumulative GPA of 3.02. They've continued their strong academic commitment as they've pushed forward in the pool with back-to-back Mid-Atlantic Water Polo Conference titles and NCAA Tournament appearances.
Matt Taylor (3.85 GPA) and Josh Yardley (3.74) led the group by earning "Outstanding" status, while Isher Gill (3.35), Zachary Pendolino (3.26) and Andrew Mavis (3.26) landed spots on the "Excellent" list.
A two-time ACWPC All-American selection for his exemplary play, Mavis was honored by organization for his academics for a second time, as well. The junior from New Jersey set a career-high with 83 goals this past season.
Taylor, a redshirt junior goalkeeper, made the ACWPC All-Academic list for the third time, while Gill, a redshirt sophomore attacker, was recognized for the second straight season. First-years Yardley and Pendolino were honored for their work in the classroom over their first semester on campus.
A total of 395 student-athletes and 26 teams across all three NCAA divisions were recognized by the ACWPC.
