LAGUNA NIGUEL, Calif. (Mar. 8, 2025) – Sophomore center
Kayla Arias (Brea, Calif. / Brea Olinda / Fullerton College) of the Whittier College women's water polo team has been named SCIAC Offensive Athlete of the Week for her huge performances against the likes of Grove City College and the University of Redlands over the weekend.
Arias totaled 10 goals -- five in each game to lead her team in both wins, the first two wins of the season for the Purple & Gold. The Poets could not have done it without their star center against the Bulldogs, having to play much of the second half without any subs due to exclusions and injuries. She added an additional assist against the Bulldogs, in what was a dominant performance and potentially a sign of what's to come for the women's water polo team.
Arias and the Poets will be back in action this week when they host Occidental College on Wednesday, Mar. 12 at 7 p.m.
