The father-son duo of Jovan and Nikola Vavic swept the National Coach and Player of the Year honors after leading USC men's water polo to a fifth consecutive national championship.
Jovan Vavic is now an 11-time National Coach of the Year after winning his 11th NCAA title (8 men's and 3 women's). With his son by his side, he is currently in Canada preparing the U.S. National Team for the World Championship qualification tournament.
Nikola Vavic set the USC single-season scoring record netting 83 goals as a junior. He is joined on the All-American first team by goalie James Clark and Final Four MVP Michael Rosenthal.
Kostas Genidounias, who scored the winning goal in the NCAA Championship, was named a second team All-American, while Mace Rapsey made the third team. Matt Burton, Jeremy Davie and Stephen Siri earned honorable mention.
