NORCAL BRONZE MEDAL WINNERS 2010
Santa Rosa
Junior College Women's Water Polo finished strong in 2010 after taking the momentum from the huge upsets they pulled in 2009, and improved upon their performance by advancing to the Big 8 Conference Championship title game for the second year in a row, advancing to the post-season for the eighth year in a row, and winning the bronze medal at the NorCal Championship Tournament in 2010. The 2011 team will be lead by several key returning sophomores including: center Becky Bennigson (Benicia HS), attacker Jessica Crawford (Heritage HS), and 2010 Big 8 Conference All Tournament Team member, goalie Becca Woodruff (Davis HS). SRJC has advanced to the NorCal Playoff Tournament nine times in the last ten years. We have produced
more than 35 all conference players, 25 All Northern California players,
two conference MVP's, 19 All Americans, and over 40 All-Academic
student athletes. The Cubs had back-to-back history-making seasons in 2008 and 2007 claiming the 2008 Northern California Championship Title, and had two consecutive final four appearances at the California Community College State Championship Tournament, culminating in a two year overall record of 47-15. The SRJC Women's Water Polo Team is comprised of athletes
who understand the meaning of commitment and effort. Coaches McCormick and Hennan
recruit athletes who not only demonstrate a high level of team work,
focus, and discipline in the pool and in the classroom, but who also
like to have fun with their team and enjoy competition.
