U.S. women's water polo star Maddie Musselman Woepse is mourning the loss of her husband, Pat, who died from a rare form of lung cancer. He died Thursday night at 31 years old. Pat Woepse was diagnosed with NUT carcinoma in September 2023. Woepse, a former water polo player himself, set a goal of going to the Paris Olympics to watch his wife play — and he made it. Pat Woepse grew up in Southern California and played water polo at UCLA. He helped the Bruins win consecutive national championships in 2014 and 2015.
