WEST SACRAMENTO, CA (MPG) - Congratulations to Sydney Eisberg, the first female athlete from River City High School’s Water Polo program to be named Metropolitan League’s Most Valuable Player (MVP).

Eisberg, a senior valedictorian, finished her final season at River City High School as the single-season all-time leading scorer, with 107 goals.

A four-year varsity starter and two-time team captain, Eisberg was named League MVP by the Metropolitan Conference coaches and she was also named to the All Sac-Joaquin Section Team.

Eisberg’s 107 goals not only set a new River City High School record but ranked first in the Metropolitan Conference, fourth in the Sac-Joaquin Section. Eisberg’s performance positioned her as the 13th-leading goal scorer in all of California for 2024.

Alongside one of the strongest teams in River City High School program history, Eisberg and the varsity girls took top place in the Metropolitan Conference Championships and advanced to the Quarter Finals of the California Interscholastic Federation’s Sac-Joaquin Section Tournament, setting another program best. 

A second-generation water polo player, Eisberg has committed to playing water polo at Concordia University Irvine where she will compete in the Golden Coast Conference. Within the Golden Coast Conference, one of the conference’s primary rivals will be Loyola Marymount University, the same program where Eisberg’s father played and was named an All-American.

Once again, congratulations to league Most Valuable Player and River City High School record holder Eisberg.
