BRIDGEPORT, Pa. — Freshman Vaios Vlahotasios (Athens, Greece/Genadios) of No. 18-ranked George Washington University secured 17 saves during a 1-1 weekend at the Bucknell University Bison Invitational to earn honors as the September 18 Mid-Atlantic Water Polo Conference (MAWPC) Rookie of the Week.
He opened the weekend with 12 stops in a 16-11 loss to No. 11 Harvard University prior to blocking away five scoring attempts in a 13-8 defeat of Mercyhurst University. In addition, he added one steal against the Lakers of Mercyhurst.
His selection marks the second time in as many weeks George Washington garners the conference’s Rookie of the Week award as Vlahotasios’ classmate Andras Levai (Budapest, Hungary/Cszik Ferenc Secondary School) took home the September 11 accolade.
