May 07, 2025 | Men's Water Polo
PRINCETON, N.J.- Gavin Molloy has been named the winner of the Scott A.C. Roche '94 Memorial Award, the team announced.
The Roche '94 Award is awarded to the senior player or players who, like Scott, lead with energy and determination, intense competition spirit and a contagious love of the game.
"I'm not sure I could define Gavin's contributions to this program better than the description of this award," head coach Dustin Litvak said. "I did not have the pleasure of knowing Scott Roche but like Gavin, it sounds like he was both a culture changer and daily barometer of what it means to consistently bring every ounce of yourself, every day, for the benefit of the team.
The 2025 senior class will go down as one of the most talented and successful in program history and Gavin raised the bar on how to approach training, compete with passion and celebrate the successes of the team and his teammates above his own. He's the player you love to coach and his teammates love to play with and his next venture is very lucky to have him."
Molloy saw time in over 100 career games for the Tigers and scored 54 goals, registered 102 assists, grabbed 59 steals, and drew 45 ejections. Molloy, a captain in his senior season, was part of Princeton's four consecutive Northeast Water Polo Conference titles from 2021 to 2024.
