Pepperdine Men’s Water Polo star and Golden Coast Conference Player of the Year, Marko Asic, made a splash at this year’s World University Games. He, along with 12 other collegiate student-athletes, earned a 9th place finish for the United States in Taipei, Taiwan this past August.
The World University Games, also known as Universiade, is an international sports competition held every two years. This event is organized primarily for university student-athletes and is hosted in a different country each year. The Universiade is the largest multi-sport event in the world apart from the Olympic Games with over 120 countries competing in 22 different sports.
