TEMPE – The Collegiate Water Polo Association has announced the 2025 ACWPC All-American teams and Sun Devils' junior Millie Quin made the third team and freshman Itziar Almeda earned an honorable mention nod.

The pair of attackers are the second duo in Sun Devil history to each record 100+ points in a season after leading Sun Devil Water Polo to a 19-9 record. This marks back-to-back years for a Sun Devil pair to each record 100+ points in a season.

The selections were picked by the Association of Collegiate Water Polo Coaches (ACWPC) and are selected based on nominations and voted on by the head coaches of each varsity program.

Quin collects a third team nod after she posted career highs in all offensive categories with 89 goals for 116 points. Her 89 goals ranks her tied second in program history and her 116 points are the fifth-most in a season in ASU history. This is the second award she has earned this season after she also received a spot on the 2025 MPSF All-Third Team. For the Sun Devils, she had 23 multi-goal games and tallied 17 hat tricks on the year. Defensively she led the team with 37 steals and 15 field blocks.

Almeda caps off her freshman year by earning her  All-American Honorable Mention recognition. This past season, she cemented her name all over the record books, tying for third in assists with 46, as well as notching the fourth-most points recorded in a season with 117. Ultimately, the freshman led the team this season in both categories. She finished second on the team with goals scored, finding the back of the net 71 times. Defensively, she finished the season with 15 steals and six field blocks, ranking her third and fifth on the team, respectively.
