Interesting question. I looked a bit on the web. I didn't find overall NCAA water polo records. I did find the following:

* There is an NCAA Championship Record Book. I didn't track down the current record book, but here's an article from 2020 that includes the 2019 version of the record book. Apparently Scott Schulte of Bucknell is also the all time leading scorer in NCAA Water Polo Championship history, with 50 goals spread over 4 years. "He is the only player in sport history to lead the NCAA Championship in scoring four times." Does that mean ANY sport? Either way, really impressive.

https://collegiatewaterpolo.org/nationa ... cord-book/


* The MPSF keeps records for the conference. It includes records for career goals, season goals, single game goals, career saves, single season saves, and 20 save games, as well as season goals against average and team win streak. It's linked to from their website here:

https://mpsports.org/documents/2021/12/ ... ecords.pdf


* I checked the GCC website but didn't find any similar record book. I didn't check any other conference.


Thank you. I was looking to compare James Rozolis-Hills’ goals season tally with other great scorers in college. At the moment he has 115 goals in 27 games. Averaging 4.26 goals/game.


I never liked the category of "great scorers in college"...(which basically means nothing). Bonanni broke many scoring records at Stanford and never won a championship. Just an FYI...it's not that difficult to amass a season of large tallies against teams like Austin College, Cal Baptist, Occidental College, Iona College, Connecticut College, Brown, MIT, LIU, Penn State, Fordham, Pomona, Santa Clara, Fresno, St. Francis...just to name a few. I know he also tallied some against the top four. But so what, It doesn't win games no matter how many times he scores. I was told told JRH wanted to be on a "winning team"...so why choose Harvard?


Come on 2ply. You sound like you suffer from big watch, little diploma syndrome. Heaven forbid the kid decided to use WP for the long game of life/career. He’s getting the unique opportunity to go to the most respected college in the world, all while getting to play the game he loves. What was your lot in life … were you like the Chief Financial Strategist for Blockbuster video or something? Rock on JRH! Going to Harvaad’ was wicked wicked smaat’!



Very smart kid. Good choice. Obviously has multiple talents and abilities. Be happy for him! Support his positive decisions!

Like most players he probably isn't planning on playing pro so prioritized his education over his sport.

True...but he did say he wanted to be on a "winning team". I guess what he really meant to say was he wanted to be on a "educational winning team". ;-)

Anyone else watching this UCLA SC game?? UCLA was down 3 goals with a minute left and just tied it up to send it to OT. Wright is an absolute mad man for coming up with those plays

I was lucky and was able to make it down to the game. Great crowd going back and forth all game. Exactly what college water polo is all about.

GP scored three goals in the last minute to sent the game into OT and Cavano steals the ball with 10 seconds left and wins it with a last seconds goal.

Has anyone ever seen one player score three goals in the last minute to force OT in a top-level NCAA game?

Absolutely incredible game.

Didn’t watch it but looks like final was 18-12 Cal. Another high goals against game for Stanford leaving them 0-3 in conference play. Yikes!

It’s either burn out by a rookie coach or he is saving it all for MPSF. They probably need to win it to make NCAAs.

I guess the sketchy Pac 12 coverage didn't matter much as it was never a game anyway. Biggest blow out I have seen in 20 years watching these two teams go at it.

LOL, flacks is over his head. He succeeded in HS because he had a recruiting advantage. Now he is at best equal but most likely at a disadvantage because his past promises will have to be honored through Stanford. So he will be bringing his lackeys and many good players will choose to avoid him from past experiences.

Time will not be kind.
There is a difference when you have been an Olympian.

Brian is a great coach and he's not in "over his head". But go ahead and rain on his parade...cuz good things eventually happen to great coaches. ;-)

Sounds like sour grapes from his kid not making the travel team in ODP. As I predicted, it’s going to take some time for Flacks. From what I’ve heard, he’s already had a nice win on the international recruiting front. He will do better than Vargas ever did when all is said and done (Yes that is a low bar).
