Rohnert Park, CA - With the Association of Collegiate Water Polo Coaches offering awards to All-America first team, second team, and honorable mention the Seawolves secured a spot in each category with 3 seniors receiving the award! Sonoma State finished the brief 2020 season at 9-8 winning 7 of their last 8 matches before the cancellation. Sonoma State University made the unfortunate decision of cutting the SSU water polo program as well as the men's and women;s tennis programs due to ongoing budget issues as a result of the COVID-19 situation. In the coming weeks we will honor those programs again by recognizing each team's seniors and current players. The ACWPC honored three Seawolf seniors today with All-America honors!]]>SSU HuddleTue, 28 Apr 2020 10:56:00 PST136973https://sonomaseawolves.com/news/2020/4/24/mens-tennis-the-history-and-legacy-of-the-ssu-tennis-and-water-polo-programs.aspxhttps://sonomaseawolves.com/news/2020/4/24/mens-tennis-the-history-and-legacy-of-the-ssu-tennis-and-water-polo-programs.aspxMen's Tennis, Women's Tennis, Women's Water Polo

Rohnert Park, CA - Entering the weekend for Sonoma State athletics we have 5 different sports in action including baseball, softball, water polo, men's and women's basketball, and men's and women's tennis! Softball and baseball are kicking off the start to their seasons as softball travels to Las Vegas for the Desert Stinger Softball Tournament and baseball will head into to Fresno to take on the Sunbirds for a Friday/Saturday-3 game series. Softball finished 4th in the CCAA the season prior and won 4 games in 4 days to win the conference tournament. They again were ranked 4th in the preseason coaches poll and will have a good collection of young talent and quality returners to once again make a run at the CCAA title and possible back to back NCAA appearances. Baseball finished the season just outside the top 6 for the end of the season conference tournament and were an even .500 on the year. With some key starters and a competitive group of transfers coach John Goelz and the Seawolves look to get over the hump and get into the CCAA tournament. Coach John Goelz for the Seawolves is also making history this season as he seeks his 1100th win in his 35th season at the helm.]]>Seawolves LogoThu, 30 Jan 2020 10:11:00 PST16909
