The Ohio State Men's Water Polo team is a student-run organization that strives to compete at the highest level against teams all across the nation. We have 33 players from across the country with a wide variety of backgrounds, skill levels and experience. The objective of our team is to maintain a competitive atmosphere while striving for a fun and friendly club.

This year, our team competed in their first varsity level tournament, facing Penn State Behrend, Salem University, Gannon University and Cal Tech University. We finished 2-2 at the varsity tournament, and would love to continue competing against higher competition in the future. At the end of the season, Purdue University hosted the Big Ten Tournament, where the Buckeyes finished short of their goal at 4th place, trailing Michigan State, TTUN and host team Purdue.

The dollars raised during our Buckeye Funder campaign will help us with the following expenses:

  • Equipment such as goals, caps and technology
  • Coaches stipends
  • Hotel/Airbnb fees
  • Gas for traveling
  • Pool time reservations for hosting tournaments at Ohio State
  • Referee fees
  • Tournament entry fees
  • Semester CWPA fees

Below is a list of our past achievements that would have been impossible without our supporters:

  • Great Lakes Conference Championships (2013, 2014, 2016, 2017)
  • Big Ten Division 3rd Place (2022), 4th place (2021, 2023)
  • National Collegiate Club Championships (2013: 6th Place, 2014: 5th Place, 2017: 6th Place, 2018: 7th Place)
  • Various Academic All-American Awards
  • All-American 2nd Team (Drew Wilson) 2018, 2019
  • All-American Honorable Mention (Owen Roesch) 2021, 2022
  • Big Ten All Conference Awards (Owen Roesch, Rob Lupo) 2021
