FUKUOKA, Japan – After 12 days of competition at the 2023 World Aquatic Championships seven Sun Devils from past and present competed for five different countries in Fukuoka, Japan, including Sun Devil assistant coach Ethan D'Souza who's a member of the Canadian coaching staff, assisted them to an 7th place finish, the country's best since 2017.

Sun Devil Alumnae Bente and Lieke Rogge helped lead the Netherlands to a spot in the 2024 Paris Olympics after reaching the championship match, and then helped defeat Spain 17-16 in a penalty shootout for the country's first World Aquatics Title in 32 years.
