STOCKTON, Calif. – Leading the No. 7 Pacific men's water polo program to an unbeaten weekend at the Julian Fraser Memorial, freshman
Apostolos Georgaras was named both the West Coast Conference Player and Newcomer of the Week winner.
Georgaras registered 13 goals, nine assists, 22 points and nine steals in his three appearances. He played a big role in the team's 4-0 weekend which extended Pacific's winning-streak to seven games.
The Patras, Greece native tallied a career-high eight goals in a 16-12 victory over Bucknell. The day prior, he dished out a career-high five assists to go along with a pair of goals against No. 19 Harvard. He leads the team with 68 goals on the season.
Georgaras has won four WCC weekly honors this season and is the back-to-back Newcomer of the Week winner. As a team, the Tigers have won seven WCC weekly awards this year, all from freshmen.
Up next, Pacific will look to defend its West Coast Conference Regular Season Championship at 1 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 2 at the Eberhardt Aquatics Center against No. 13 Cal Baptist. A win for Pacific would solidify the title and the No. 1 seed for the conference tournament.
