The 2025–2026 academic year was another remarkable chapter for CSM Athletics, with Bulldog scholar-athletes excelling in competition, in the classroom, and in the community. Across the year, CSM teams delivered championship performances, postseason runs, individual state-level finishes, conference honors, academic recognitions, and meaningful service to the broader community.

The 2024–2025 academic year was marked by exceptional performances across College of San Mateo’s athletic programs. From championship victories to individual accolades, the Bulldogs demonstrated excellence both on the field and in the classroom. Their achievements reflect the dedication, resilience, and talent that define CSM’s tradition of athletic and academic success.

The College of San Mateo women’s water polo team closed out the 2024 season with a win, a 12-3 victory at the Coast Conference tournament. The Bulldogs continued to improve as the season progressed. CSM won two of its final four games and outscored its opponents by a 48-29 margin over that span.

In just the second season back since relaunching the men’s water polo program, College of San Mateo head coach Andrew Silva continues to be impressed by the improvements made by his student-athletes.

The USA women’s water polo team will try to maintain its streak of medaling in every Olympic tournament when it plays Netherlands in the bronze medal match Saturday morning (1:35 a.m. PDT) at La Defense Arena in Paris.

College of San Mateo’s Andrew Silva is set to head off to Paris this weekend as part of the USA Water Polo contingent from the 2024 Olympic Games. CSM’s head water polo and swimming coach is part of the coaching and support staff for USA Water Polo’s three-time defending champion Women’s Olympic Team, in the role of Video Coordinator.

The spirit of unity and empowerment was palpable as IX in Action, the dynamic learning community for female student-athletes at College of San Mateo (CSM), embarked on their second annual Half Moon Bay fall kickoff event. This eagerly anticipated event, held right before the start of the fall semester, marks the beginning of a new academic year filled with growth, camaraderie, and achievement.

College of San Mateo Dean/Athletic Director Andreas Wolf has announced the return of the Bulldogs’ aquatics programs, including men’s and women’s water polo as well as men’s and women’s swimming.

The College of San Mateo women’s water polo team picked up its second win in Coast Conference play as the Bulldogs rolled over Laney-Oakland, 19-6. The Bulldogs took control of the match early, outscoring the Eagles 7-0 in the opening period. CSM added six more in the second quarter to take a 13-3 lead at halftime.

This year, CSM was proud to induct 19 women and men, who have distinguished themselves either as CSM athletes or later in their careers, into the Sports Hall of Fame at a banquet held on February 9.
