Proving that a Matador can excel under water as well as they do on land, Lindsy Nelson and Marisa Young were named ACWPC Water Polo Honorable Mention All-Americans by the Association of Collegiate Water Polo Coaches. The honor comes on the heels of the duo also being named All-League by the Big West Conference.

The two dynamos were the top two scorers on a Matador team that went 23-12 in 2013. Nelson was the team’s top scorer, netting 70 goals, good for a team-best and fifth in the conference. Young’s 50 goals put her second on the team and 11th in the Big West.
