Collegiate Water Polo Association Announces 2010 Women's Season SIDs of the Year

BRIDGEPORT, Pa. -- Harvard University's Robert Rossi, Bucknell University's Todd Merriett, Indiana University's Doak Henry, Washington & Jefferson College's Scott McGuinness and the University of Michigan's Ryan Sosin earned distinction as CWPA Sports Information Directors of the Year for the 2010 women's season.

Selected by the CWPA Director of Communications in consultation with the league membership, the SID of the Year award is presented to those offices which have achieved notable excellence in the field of water polo communications during the past academic year

The selections mark the third consecutive year that the CWPA has recognized its sports information directors for their performance in promoting the league's institutions and student-athletes.

There are several repeat winners this year as Bucknell's Merriett (Southern Division) and Michigan's Sosin (co-Western Division) pick up their third awards, while Henry (co-Western Division) and Rossi (Northern Division) earn their first awards from among the three NCAA Championship eligible divisions.

Due to the creation of a separate Division III structure in the CWPA, this year marks the innaugural season for the Division III SID of the Year award which is presented to Washington & Jefferson's McGuinness.

The five join 2009 Men's Award recipients Jill Olsen of Johns Hopkins University (Southern Division) and Brown University's Lyndsey Maurer (Brown University) as the league honored seven SIDs this year.
