USC junior Stephania Haralabidis completed her sweep of collegiate water polo's postseason awards on Saturday, becoming the sixth Trojan woman to win the highly-coveted Peter J. Cutino Award, also known as water polo's Heisman Trophy. The three-time All-American, who also won 2016 ACWPC National Player of the Year, MPSF Player of the Year and NCAA Tournament MVP after scoring the game-winning goal in the 2016 National Championship, is the first USC women's honoree since 2010.
The engine of USC's offense this year, Haralabidis tallied 63 total goals en route to the program's second undefeated season. She currently ranks No. 8 all-time in career scoring at USC with 185 goals, after scoring in every game during the 2016 campaign.
Haralabidis snapped a five-year stretch of Stanford women claiming water polo's most prestigious award, dating back to USC's last winner, Kami Craig, in 2010. The junior joins former USC recipients Craig (2009, 10), Lauren Wenger (2006), Moriah Van Norman (2004), Aniko Pelle (2000) and Bernice Orwig (1999).
