The Santa Clara University women's water polo team had 13 student-athletes named to the 2025 Golden Coast Conference All-Academic team Monday, marking the eighth consecutive year the Broncos have had double-digit GCC All-Academic honorees.
 
Santa Clara has had no fewer than 11 GCC All-Academic Team members since 2018, and has posted 13 or more for six consecutive years (since 2020). The conference all-academic honors follow two Broncos – Francesca Moynihan and Libby Slater – being named to the Academic All-District At-Large team by College Sports Communicators in June.
 
The GCC All-Academic Team consists of student-athletes that have competed in at least 50% of games in the current season, carry over a 3.0 cumulative Grade Point Average while being classified as a "full-time" student for all terms of the academic year, and have completed a minimum of one academic year at her institution (including true freshmen).
 
Slater led Santa Clara's award winners with a 3.857 GPA in her communication major, giving her three career GCC All-Academic Team awards (2023, '24). Moynihan – who graduated in the winter with her bachelor's in finance, earned her fourth career GCC All-Academic Team nod with a 3.733 cumulative GPA.
 
Mikayla Crowe, Makenna Genco, Chloe Rizof and Khloe Tarbet made the conference all-academic team as true freshmen this year. Rizof added a GCC All-Freshman Team award in April to cap off her first collegiate season.
 
The GCC honored a total of 111 student-athletes Monday. California Baptist and San Diego State tied for the most honorees this year with 18 each.
