Mens Water Polo
Support the Men’s Water Polo program on UCI Giving Day!

In his second year at the helm of the UCI Men’s Water Polo program, Coach Klatt guided the Anteaters to a Big West regular season title and Big West Championship victory, bringing UCI back to the NCAA’s for the first time in thirty years. Three Anteaters were placed on ACWPC All-American teams and twelve UCI MWP student-athletes were named to the 2023 Big West Conference All-Academic Team.

Gifts to Men’s Water Polo provide direct support to the program and enable our outstanding Men’s Water Polo student-athletes to continue to excel at the highest level academically and athletically.
