PRINCETON, N.J. - Newport Harbor High product Jon Pharris, a senior

co-captain for the Princeton University men’s water polo team, has been

named the Collegiate Water Polo Association Southern Division Player of

the Week.

Pharris, the Tigers’ goalie, capped a busy weekend with 15 saves in

Princeton’s 8-2 victory over Navy. He also recorded 15 saves in a 9-5 win

at Bucknell, as the Tigers have opened the CWPA season with four straight

victories.

Last year, Pharris earned first-team CWPA All-Southern honors and was

named to the American Water Polo Coaches Association’s all-academic team.
