Student-Athletes in Water Polo Named 2025 Newcomer & Athlete of the Year

The Pomona-Pitzer men’s water polo team has made a big splash in the Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SCIAC). Following their second-straight SCIAC Regular Season championship, the team has also picked up honors for two Pitzer student-athletes. 

Defensive Athlete of the Year 

Goalkeeper Greg Moore ’27 has been named the Defensive Athlete of the Year in men’s water polo. Moore received numerous SCIAC Defensive Athlete of the Week accolades in stopping a conference-best 54 percent of shots faced, ranking second in the league with 102 saves across just nine appearances.

Newcomer of the Year

Newcomer of the Year recognition was awarded to Jaden Winters ’29, who led the regular season champions to an unbeaten 12–0 mark with 35 goals and 49 total points. A natural in the role of center defender, Winters played all over the pool for Pomona-Pitzer while also racking up 16 steals, 11 drawn exclusions, and a 9-for-10 record on sprints.

Moore and Winters were also included in the First Team All-SCIAC, along with two other members of the Pomona-Pitzer men’s water polo team.
