STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — Wagner College men’s and women’s water polo coach Chris Radmonovich has announced the hiring of former All-America utility player Ciaran Wolohan as the new assistant coach for the men’s program.
As a two-year captain for the Wagner Seahawks, Wolohan became the first-ever player in the program’s two year history to be recognized as an Association of Collegiate Water Polo Coaches (ACWPC) All-America Honorable Mention selection in his senior campaign.
No stranger to coaching, Wolohan began his career as a coach with the Huntington Beach Water Polo Club in Huntington Beach, Calif., in February of 2016. Wolohan directed the 18U team, organizing training sessions, tournaments and team building activities.
Prior to his career with the Seahawks, the Manly, Australia native attended Golden West College where he helped lead the Rustlers to a league championship in 2014 and a runner-up finish in 2015.
In addition, Wolohan played for the U17 Australian Junior Men’s Water Polo National team as they traveled to Europe in 2011. He also competed with the Australian team at the U18 World Championships in 2012 and was selected to the U20 Australian squad in 2013.
Wolohan will assist Radmonovich in further building the Wagner men’s water polo program, which enters its third season of existence in 2018. Last season, the Seahawks made their first Mid Atlantic Water Polo Conference (MAWPC) title game appearance in program history.
Wagner compiled a 14-17 overall record (5-5 MAWPC), highlighted by MAWPC Championship tournament wins over host the United States Naval Academy (9-8 W) and top-seeded Bucknell University (10-8). The semifinal upset over the Bison moved the Seahawks into the title game where they dropped an 8-5 decision to No. 2-seed George Washington University.
Along with his coaching responsibilities at Wagner, Wolohan will pursue a Masters of Business Administration.
