Special thanks to ESPN's Holly Rowe for introducting our Team Members of the Year in the videos below.
NCAA Division I
Aria Fischer, a senior from Laguna Beach, California, was a standout in water polo at Stanford. She is an English major with an emphasis in creative writing with a 4.00 cumulative grade-point average and was one of five Stanford Cardinal named to the first team. She was a three-time ACWPC All-Academic honoree, three-time MPSF All-Academic recipient and 2022 Pac-12 Academic Honor Roll pick.
Fischer was recently named the 2023 Peter J. Cutino Award recipient, presented to the most outstanding female collegiate water polo player in the nation as voted by Division I coaches. She became the seventh player in school history to win the award. In addition, Fischer was named the ACWPC Player of the Year, helping Stanford defeat USC 11-9 to secure its ninth NCAA title in school history and repeat for the first time since 2014-15.
Stanford finished the year with a 24-1 record, avenging its only loss in the finals. It was the third NCAA national championship for Fischer, who closed out her career as a four-time ACWPC All-American, qualifying for the first team three times (2019, 2022-23) and the second team in 2018.
Fischer was named the Most Valuable Player of both the NCAA Tournament and MPSF Tournament. A four-time All-MPSF selection after earning first-team honors for the second time in her career, Fischer led the Cardinal in goals (71), assists (45), points (116) and shots (142). In late March Fischer became the seventh player in school history to reach the 200-goal mark and closed out her career ranking fifth all-time with 226 goals.
A two-time Olympic gold medalist (2016 and 2020), Fischer became the youngest female team sport athlete in U.S. Olympic history to win gold, scoring 10 goals in Tokyo in the 2016 Olympics.
Six members of this year’s Academic All-America® Division I at-large team are repeat performers from last year’s team.
Verena Zaisberger of West Virginia University is a two-time first-team honoree while
Casey Chan of Brown University moved up to the first team after earning third team honors last year. University of Utah’s
Abby Paulson was named to the second team for the second straight year, while
Lisa Olsson of the University of New Hampshire and Illinois State University’s
Ali Schrock moved up to the second team following third team accolades last year. Third-team member
Sophie Jaques of The Ohio State University was a second team selection in 2021-22.
A total of 49 individuals were recognized, with the 16 members of the first team showing a 23.95 cumulative GPA. A total of 26 honorees had perfect 4.00 GPAs, including 10 on the first team.
