PROVIDENCE, R.I. – Brown Director of Water Polo and Men's Head Coach Felix Mercado has announced the hiring of Jake Ehrhardt as the program's new Assistant Coach.

"I am extremely excited to add Jake Ehrhardt to our staff," said Mercado. "Our programs's goal is to compete for conference titles and Jake brings a championship pedigree to College Hill. He has been a part of elite teams his entire career and his experience at the highest levels of our sport, including as a member of the U.S. National team, will be instrumental in the development of our players in and out of the pool."
Ehrhardt finished his career at USC as the sixth all-time leading scorer for the Trojans while being named a five-time NCAA All-American. Ehrhardt helped his team to a National Championship in 2018 and three other appearances in the National Championship game.
