As the Fall Olympic Sports season ended two weeks ago when Cal Men’s Water Polo was edged by USC in the NCAA semifinals (I guess I never completed my story of how the Bears really got burned by the officiating and really missed Johnny Hooper - who picked up two mutual exclusions and a third of regular variety to be DQ’ed - at the end of the match), it is time to look at all the Cal fall sports as a whole and award these virtual “Golden Medals” to our student-athletes.

Gold: Luca Cupido (Men’s Water Polo)
The ACWPC National Player of the Year (he was also the MPSF Conference Player of the Year) was the clear best player in collegiate water polo this year.
