Hinkle named ACWPC All-American

GROVE CITY, Pa. -- Recent Grove City College graduate and water polo standout Jocelyn Hinkle (Freeland, Pa./Hazleton) has been named an Honorable Mention All-American by the Association of Collegiate Water Polo Coaches, as announced on Friday morning.

Hinkle, a three-time Collegiate Water Polo Association Division III First Team honoree, became the 12th player in program history and the first since 2012 to earn All-America honors after capping an already strong career with a brilliant senior season. The then-senior utility posted team-highs with 61 goals, 32 assists and 90 steals while starting all 18 games to lead the Wolverines to a fourth-place finish at the CWPA D-III Championships.

Hinkle finished her career as Grove City's all-time leader with 128 assists while ranking second in program history with 237 goals and third with 273 steals.

Overall, Hinkle is the 119th Grove City College student-athlete to earn All-America honors and the sixth during the 2014-15 academic year. Junior distance runner Emily Rabenold (Allison Park, Pa./Hampton) earned USTFCCCA All-America honors after finishing 28th at the 2014 NCAA Division III Cross Country Championships in Mason, Ohio, while senior swimmers Tori Baker (Fairfax, Va./Robinson) and Lauren Cassano (Venetia, Pa./Peters Township) and sophomore swimmers Abby Jank (Worthington, Ohio/Thomas Worthington) and Megan Smith (Tyler, Texas/Kolbe Academy) earned All-America at the NCAA Division III Swimming and Diving Championships in Shenandoah, Texas, by taking 14th in the 800 free relay.
