Led by Matt Burton and Michael Rosenthal, USC men's water polo has three redshirt seniors that will leave Troy with a ring for every finger. The redshirt senior class finishes with a career record of 136-7.
"I can't believe it, honestly," said Rosenthal, who was named the NCAA Tournament MVP. "I wanted to come to 'SC to see how good I could get at water polo. I made a decision to stay for this fifth year and oh boy, it's the best decision I ever made."
Jovan Vavic has built a true dynasty in which each class replaces the next. The Trojans lost captains Joel Dennerley and Peter Kurzeka after the four-peat, but the 2012 senior class, which also includes Tobias Preuss, filled the void.
