OEC Champion Golden West Leads All-Conference Honors in Men's Water Polo

Five members of the Orange Empire Conference champion Golden West College Rustlers earned all-conference honors last week, as voted on by the head coaches of each team.
The Rustlers brought home their 25th consecutive OEC title, continuing their unparalleled tradition of excellence with 43 titles over the program's history.  

Golden West's sophomore, Sean Grab was named the Orange Empire Conference MVP. Grab's leadership on the team and hard work in the off season made him a key player for the Rustlers. Working at the 2-meter guard, he made essential plays that lead the team to the championship. Grab is an active member of Golden West's Student Athlete-Athlete Advisory Counsel and looks to transfer to a university in the fall.  

Orange Coast College added four members (Tony Morelli, Scott Brush, Colby Watson, and Gavin Wright) to the All-Conference team, and finished No. 2 in the OEC with a conference record of 5-2.

Christopher Forte, Reese Vardayou and Nicho Morabito from Riverside earned All-Conference team honors, and finished No. 3 with a 5-3 record in conference play.

Joe Feaster (Fullerton), Sam Feaster (Fullerton, Cameron Erickson (Saddleback), and Wes Kobel (Santa Ana) were also named first team All OEC for the 2013 season.
