During Corso's tenure at Berkeley, he was touted as one of the most successful women's water polo coaches in the school's history. While at Berkeley, he mentored five Olympians, and thirty-four All-MPSF selections. After winning his 200th game, he was inducted into the United States Water Polo Hall of Fame. Corso had no intention of retiring, often saying that he had at least two more Olympic cycles in him.
