Corona del Mar High senior Annie Mortimer has verbally committed to play water polo at the University of Michigan, she said Tuesday night.
Mortimer is an emerging center defender for the Sea Kings, who recently won the Foothill Fall Fling preseason tournament on Oct. 27.
"Michigan has a great balance of academics and athletics," said Mortimer, who made an official visit to the school in October. She said she wanted to leave California for college.
