Life as a Bobcat with Ethan Stocker!

The UK native is a part of the first recruiting class and the first four-year class in program history and takes fans through a brilliant conversation about his UC Merced water polo experience overall. From battling many nationally-ranked opponents every year to joining the WWPA, and now finally getting a chance to compete for a conference championship, Stocker shares what the opportunity that lies ahead means for the squad. Playing collegiate water polo was never in the plans for the former competitive swimmer, but the opportunity presented itself and Stocker’s once risk has turned into an amazing experience. Life as a Bobcat is streaming on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and ucmercedbobcats.com.
