BRIDGEPORT, Pa. – No. 16 Brown University men's water polo freshman center defender Stephen Salle has gained Northeast Water Polo Conference (NWPC) Rookie of the Week honors, the Collegiate Water Polo Association announced on Wednesday.

Brown closed out its trip to the Golden State with a 3-1 record behind victories over No. 19 San Jose State (11-3), No. 18 Loyola Marymount (13-12), and Fresno Pacific (12-7) and a narrow setback to No. 15 Cal Baptist (11-10).
