Peter Gregory Asch "Pasch" (born October 16, 1948) is a retired American water polo player from the United States, who won the bronze medal with the Men's National Team at the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich, West Germany.

[2] He graduated from the University of California Berkeley in 1971 where he competed in Water Polo, and later worked in banking.

During his High School years, he became an All-American Water Polo Player twice while swimming for championship Teams with the DeAnza Aquatic Club.

[7] In his 1972 Division A Olympic Game against Romania, on August 27, in Munich at the Olympia Schwimmhalle, Asch scored the deciding goal in a 4–3 victory with only 1:52 left to play.

On September 1, in the difficult 4–4 tie in the opening final game with the strongly supported home team West Germany, Asch scored a vital goal.

In a closely followed game, and an important one for Asch, the US Team tied with the future Gold medal winner, the Soviet Union, 6–6 on September 3, and Asch scored a needed goal against a team many American fans viewed as a major rival.

Russia took the gold medal, and a highly skilled team from Hungary, who had defeated the United States, the silver.
