Congratulations to CWPA Hall of Fame inductee Betsey Armstrong who will enter the University of Michigan Athletics Hall of Honor this Fall. She earned four All-America honors from 2002-05, including second team honors that led to her becoming a finalist for the Peter J. Cutino Award as the nation’s top water polo player in 2004. She was named a member of the Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) Hall of Fame in 2008 after being named to the All-CWPA first team all four years and earning two CWPA MVP honors. She holds U-M career records for saves (1,267), save percentage (.654) and wins (85). She also owns the top three season saves totals with the record 350 in 2004, as well as single-season records for save percentage (.734) and goals-against average (4.45), also set in 2004. She led Michigan to four CWPA division titles and two NCAA appearances. She graduated in 2005 with an English language and literature degree. She was a member of the U.S. women’s national team from 2006-12 and competed in two Olympic Games, earning a gold medal in London in 2012 and a silver medal in Beijing in 2008. In addition, she competed in men’s collegiate club water polo with Arizona State University during the 2008 season helping the Sun Devils to the Men’s National Collegiate Club Championship tournament.
