LOS ANGELES - The Fresno State water polo team had six student-athletes earn All-Golden Coast Conference honors as the conference office announced its postseason awards on Tuesday.
Senior Brooke Ochoa and junior Hailey Andress earned first team honors for 2025. For Ochoa, it was her second career first team nod, and fourth season with an all-conference recognition. Andress earned first team honors for the second consecutive year, and continued her streak of each year of her career with a recognition.
Senior Abbey Simshauser and sophomore Ida Tully-Giles were Fresno State's second team honorees. Simshuaser earned All-GCC recognitions in both her seasons as a Bulldog while Tully-Giles earned her first honor in her first year as the Bulldogs' primary goalkeeper.
Junior Ashley Williams was an honorable mention All-GCC selection, earning her first career accolade.
Freshman Marit van der Kolk was named to the All-Freshman team. Fresno State has had a freshman on the GCC All-Freshman team each year for the last five seasons, including Ochoa (2022) and Andress (2023).
As championship season approaches, the Bulldogs look for their fifth-consecutive GCC tournament title and berth to the NCAA Championship. If Fresno State wins its fifth-straight GCC tournament title, it would be the longest championship tournament win streak for a Fresno State team since baseball won seven-straight from 2006-12.
The Bulldogs head to Los Angeles this weekend for the GCC Championship, hosted by LMU. Fresno State, the No. 2 seed, will face the seventh-seeded Concordia on Friday at noon. More information on the championship tournament is available here, and tickets are available here.
