Bacharach Gets Promotion
On Monday, Men’s Water Polo head coach Bill Harris announced that former All-American and national champion at Cal-Berkeley Brian Bacharach would become his co-head coach. Now in his seventh season with the program, Bacharach has spent the last year as the associate head coach and served as an assistant coach for the Rams for the five years prior. “I want to thank Coach Harris and Athletic Director David Roach for this great opportunity,” said Bacharach. “The past six years at Fordham have made me realize what a special place it is and I’m excited to see what the future brings for Fordham water polo.”

This is the sophomore goalie’s first time earning a weekly award this year. O’Mara made a total of 24 saves in the three Fordham wins, and he even recorded two steals in the victory over Austin College.
