ORANGE, Calif. – Led by four-time award winner senior Pierre Masson, a total of nine Chapman University men's water polo players have been named to the Western Water Polo Association (WWPA) All-Academic Team for the 2011-2012 school year.

Panthers' utility Masson, carrying a 3.40 grade-point average in history, topped the list with his fourth WWPA award, which honors players who carried a minimum 3.0 cumulative grade-point average and played in at least 50 percent of the team's games. Not only was Masson named to the WWPA All-Academic team for the fourth straight year, but he also earned academic honors from the Association of Collegiate Water Polo Coaches (ACWPC) four times.
