Rachael Carver '25 Signs Professional Contract
October 23, 2025 | Women's Water Polo
PRINCETON – Rachael Carver '25 has signed with UNSW in Australia.
"Playing water polo at Princeton has taught me the value of hard work and resilience, both in and out of the water," said Carver. "While many of my peers have already started full-time jobs, graduating from Princeton has given me the opportunity to pause, reflect, and pursue one of my dreams. I'm incredibly grateful for the opportunity to continue my water polo career in Australia and couldn't be more excited for the chance to grow as both a player and a person through this international experience."
Carver finished her senior season earning Honorable Mention All-America, her first career All-American laurel. The captain was second on the squad in points with a career-high 44 goals along with 60 assists, 26 steals and 25 drawn ejections. She produced helpers in all but two contests with 15 multi-assist outings. Her 260 assists are the most in program history.
