SAN JOSE, Calif. -- University of Michigan water polo incoming freshman goalkeeper Heidi Ritner was named MVP of the USA Water Polo National Junior Olympics on Sunday (July 31).

Ritner led the SOCAL Water Polo Foundation to a championship victory, holding her opponents to six goals in a 13-6 first-place victory. Ritner's team went undefeated in seven games on the weekend in the 18U Girls division. Her team outscored opponents 91-36 in the seven games as she was terrific in the cage.

Congrats to @cdmpologirls alum @heidi_ritner for helping SOCAL win 18U title at @USAWP Junior Olympics. Heidi was tournament MVP. #stud
