GUIDE TO WATER POLO

POSITIONSGK – goalkeeper, ATK – attacker/driver,

CTR – center, DEF – defender, UTL – utility

Attacker: Similar to the guard and forward positions in basketball. Look for these players to shoot often and create offensive chances for their teammates, as well as disrupt the opponents’ offensive play. Also known as a driver.

Center Offense/Defense: Similar to the post position in basketball. These players station themselves in front of goal, engaging in physical battles for position. Defenders are similar to football safeties by preventing opponent breakaways on counterattack.

ADAM

WRIGHTHead Coach

11th Season at UCLA

250-42 (.856)

UCLA ‘01

Adam Wright begins his 11th season as UCLA’s head men’s water polo coach in 2019 with an

overall record of 250-42 (.856) and an MPSF mark of 52-14 (.788). His teams earned perfect

APR (Academic Progress Rate) scores of 1,000 in 2014, 2015 and 2016, all while winning NCAA

Championships in 2014, 2015 and 2017. On July 20, 2017, UCLA Director of Athletics, Dan

Guerrero, announced that Wright would guide both the UCLA men’s and women’s water polo teams.

In 2018, the Bruins reached the NCAA Semifi nals for the fi fth consecutive year, falling to eventual

champion USC, 8-7. UCLA ended the year with an overall record of 23-5, posting victories over

every team in the top 10 nationally. Wright was also inducted into the USA Water Polo Hall of

Fame (June 20, 2019).

The 2017 season was supposed to be a rebuilding year for UCLA, which lost eight seniors in

2015 and another nine in 2016 to graduation. The Bruins had six true freshmen on their roster

playing major minutes and also had a redshirt sophomore goalkeeper playing for the fi rst time

as a full-time starter in NCAA competition. But despite the fact that they were picked to fi nish

fourth by the league coaches, they matured into a strong defensive unit that held the nation’s top

offensive team in their home pool to just fi ve goals, winning the programs’ 11th national title and

UCLA’s 114th NCAA Championship with a 7-5 win at USC on Dec. 3, 2017. The Bruins fi nished

the year at 21-4. Wright was named the ACWPC National Coach of the Year for the third time

(2014, 2015 and 2017) in his career and was named the MPSF Coach of the Year for the second

time (2011 and 2017).

In 2016, the Bruins completed a stellar season (25-3) that saw the squad set NCAA, UCLA and

MPSF records for consecutive victories that dated back to the 2014 campaign. On Oct. 8, 2016,

the Bruins set a UCLA record and tied the NCAA record with 51 consecutive wins with a 9-5 win

at No. 4 Pacifi c. The next day (Oct. 9) the Bruins made history again, posting a 15-8 victory at No.

11 UC Davis to break the NCAA all-time record for consecutive victories in men’s water polo at 51

straight wins. Before it was all said and done, the Bruins ran their record-setting winning streak

to 57 games while also setting a UCLA and MPSF all-time league winning streak to 26 games.

He was named the 2015 ACWPC Division I Coach of the Year for the second consecutive season

after guiding UCLA to its 10th NCAA Championship in school history (113th overall at UCLA) with

a 10-7 win over USC. The Bruins ended the year with a 30-0 record and went a perfect 9-0 in

the MPSF for its second-consecutive undefeated league season. UCLA also went 4-0 on the year

against USC. The undefeated overall season was the fi rst for UCLA since the 1969 team went

19-0, marking the fourth undefeated season all-time in NCAA men’s water polo’s modern history.

Under Wright’s guidance, 66 Bruins have secured ACWPC All-America honors, including 18 fi rst

team honorees. He has also produced two Olympians for Team USA in 2016 in Josh Samuels and

Alex Roelse. Under his tutelage, goalkeeper Garrett Danner was UCLA’s fi rst player to be named

MPSF Newcomer of the Year in 2013 and in 2016 became just the second Bruin to win the Cutino

Award and the third overall winner as UCLA’s Sean Kern won the fi rst two awards in 1998 and

1999. Wright has produced three MPSF Players of the Year, including Danner in 2015 and again

in 2016 and Scott Davidson in 2009, who became the fi rst Bruin to secure MPSF Player of the

Year honors since 2000 (Sean Kern).

Wright was also named the 2014 ACWPC Division I Coach of the Year after guiding UCLA to its ninth

NCAA Championship in (112th overall at UCLA) with a 9-8 win over USC. The Bruins were 29-3

overall and went 8-0 in the MPSF for the fi rst time since 2004, the last previous national title year.

A former standout in the pool at UCLA, Wright competed in his third Olympics for the USA Men’s

Water Polo Team in July of 2012 in London.

The Bruins celebrate with a dip in the pool following a 10-7 win over USC, capping a 30-0 season in 2015 with the program’s 10th NCAA Championship and UCLA’s 113th.

Named UCLA’s fourth head coach in program history on June 3, 2009, Wright has guided the

Bruins to three MPSF Tournament titles (2009, 2011 and 2015), three NCAA titles (2014, 2015

and 2017) and three runner-up fi nishes at the NCAA Tournament in his previous nine seasons at

the helm of the UCLA program.

UCLA won MPSF Tournament titles in 2009 and 2011 and advanced to the title match of the

NCAA Tournament both seasons. In 2010, the Bruins fi nished in a tie for second place in the MPSF

regular-season standings and posted a fourth-place fi nish at the MPSF Tournament. In 2012, the

Bruins fell to USC in the national championship game 11-10.

Wright was named MPSF Coach of the Year in 2011 after having led UCLA to the MPSF Tournament

title and a runner-up fi nish at the NCAA Tournament.

In 2013, Wright guided the Bruins to the nation’s best record in the country at 28-4. UCLA also

defeated six-time defending champion USC two out of three times that season and lost all four

games during the season by a combined total of fi ve goals. But the Bruins lost their last two games

of the MPSF Tournament, an 11-10 setback to Stanford in the semifi nals and a 10-9 defeat to

Pacifi c in the third-place game, and were not selected to the NCAA Tournament.

The Bruins produced another great season under Wright in 2012, going 28-5 with a 7-1 mark in

MPSF play. UCLA also had a solid season in 2011, going 24-5 with a 6-2 record in conference

action. UCLA entered the MPSF Tournament with a 20-4 record, before recording three consecutive

overtime wins, all by one goal, to win the tournament title. UCLA edged USC, 10-9, in sudden

victory overtime in the championship match before a standing room only crowd at the Bruins’

Spieker Aquatics Center.

UCLA advanced to the 2011 NCAA Tournament championship match with a 10-1 win over UC

San Diego, its best defensive effort in any NCAA Tournament match since 1971. The Bruins lost

a 7-4 decision to crosstown rival USC in the championship match.

In 2009, UCLA’s path to the NCAA Tournament came as a result of hard work, discipline and a

strong fi nish at the MPSF Tournament, culminating in the Bruins’ fi rst conference tournament title

since 2000. After opening MPSF play with consecutive losses in October, Wright knew that the

Bruins would have to win the MPSF Tournament to have any chance at playing for a national title.

He adjusted the team’s practice and conditioning regimen, preparing the Bruins for the three-day

tournament setting.

MPSF AND 2018 FINAL STANDINGS

The Mountain Pacifi c Sports Federation (MPSF) was established

in 1992-93 to serve the competitive needs of member

institutions from the Big West, Pacifi c-10 and Western

Athletic Conferences, as well as other selected universities

in the western United States; and to provide championships

competition for Division I intercollegiate Olympic sports in a

conference setting. The founding principles on which the MPSF

was originally formed were to provide enhanced competition

and championship opportunities for sports without conference

affi liation; to contain the costs of competition; and to ensure

the survival of endangered sports. The federation has also

served as an incubator for emerging women’s sports and as a

safe harbor for sports impacted by conference realignments.

Since its inaugural season, the Federation has seen its charter

conference membership grow by the addition of the Mountain

West and West Coast Conferences and their respective

member institutions, as well as the addition of women’s water

polo, women’s gymnastics, women’s lacrosse and men’s and

women’s swimming and diving. As a testament to its viability,

the Mountain Pacifi c Sports Federation continues to successfully

navigate the ever-changing sea of college sports by fostering

contraction and expansion of its sports portfolio to meet the

dynamic needs of its members. As the MPSF is in its 28th

season during the 2019-20 academic year and continues its

legacy of championship competition, it affi rms the vision of its

founders and the relevance of its founding principles.

In 2019-20, the MPSF will sponsor competition in 10

intercollegiate Olympic sports, while serving 84 teams from 41

universities across 12 states. MPSF teams compete primarily

at the NCAA Division I level in men’s and women’s water polo,

men’s and women’s indoor track and fi eld, men’s and women’s

gymnastics, men’s and women’s swimming and diving, women’s

lacrosse, and men’s volleyball. MPSF teams are eligible to

compete in the NCAA Championships with men’s and women’s

water polo and men’s volleyball conference champions earning

automatic qualifi cation.

The MPSF collected three NCAA team championship titles during

the 2018-19 academic year. The federation turned in a high of

fi ve national championships during the 2007-08, 2008-09, and

2015-16 years, and has won at least four in 13 of the last 15

years. This past year, USC Men’s Water Polo, Stanford Women’s

Water Polo, and Stanford Men’s Gymnastics brought the MPSF’s

total to 95 NCAA titles since its 1992 inaugural season of

competition. With the Trojan men and Cardinal women winning

NCAA Water Polo titles, the MPSF has captured all 46 national

championships in the sport since the inception of the conference

(27 men, 19 women). In terms of conference titles, Oklahoma

Men’s Gymnastics brought home its all-sports combined MPSF

record eighth-straight championship. The Sooners also own an

all-sports record of 18 overall MPSF team titles.

Al Beaird has been the federation’s only executive director,

taking the reins after being selected by the MPSF Administrative

Committee in December 1997 after a national search. Beaird’s

position was established as a result of the federation’s

continued growth and emerging tradition of NCAA and

national championship caliber play, including 81 NCAA team

championships during his tenure. Beaird, who formerly served

on the athletics staff at his alma mater, UC Davis, where the

integration of student and athlete is a long-rooted philosophy,

oversees the administration of all federation sports. He

has worked closely with administrators and coaches from

more than 50 different universities over the course of his

administration. Beaird presided over the transition of the

federation from what was initially a scheduling alliance to

what is now nationally recognized as the most successful

NCAA Division I Olympic sports conference. Beaird directs

all aspects of MPSF competition, including championships,

offi ciating, rules compliance, scheduling, media relations,

broadcasting, sponsorships and NCAA Relations, while also

shaping conference legislation, facilitating annual meetings and

providing direction and communication for the Mountain Pacifi c

Sports Federation Administrative and Executive Committees. In

2004, Beaird completed a four-year term, three years as chair,

on the NCAA Men’s Water Polo Championships Committee and

one year as chair of the inaugural NCAA Men’s and Women’s

Water Polo Rules Committee. Beaird feels privileged to work

with coaches and student-athletes who compete at the highest

levels, including those who compete on USA national teams as

coaches or players in international and Olympic competition.

Beaird has been called upon to serve as liaison to the national

governing bodies for amateur athletics in the United States

and the United States Olympic Committee. Beaird received his

undergraduate degree in physical education from UC Davis before

attaining his Masters of Business Administration from California

State University, Sacramento. Beaird, who lives in Woodland,

California, is married and has two daughters.

Bob Horn

Bob Horn served as UCLA’s head men’s water polo coach for 28 seasons

before retiring at the conclusion of the 1990 campaign. That fall, he led

the Bruins to a third-place NCAA fi nish and 24-8 record.

In a prolifi c career that spanned four decades, Horn guided UCLA to

three NCAA championships, four runner-up awards and seven third-place

fi nishes. The Bruins secured 13 league titles under Horn, and his 1988

squad captured the Club National Championship, marking the fi rst time

a team comprised entirely of collegians won the Club National Title.

Horn tutored 36 fi rst-team All-America selections and nine Olympians. He guided UCLA to

50 consecutive victories over fi ve years, coaching four undefeated squads. He retired with an

overall record of 487-188-8 and a 102-62 mark in league play. Selected as the 1965 water

polo “Coach of the Year”, Horn also doubled as UCLA’s swimming coach from 1963-74. In

1976, he was inducted into the U.S. Water Polo Hall of Fame.

Guy Baker

Guy Baker led the UCLA men’s and women’s water polo programs to

seven national titles in a 10-year span. He left the water polo programs

in January 2001 to become head coach of the U.S. Women's Water

Polo National Team, a position he held through the spring of 2009.

Baker established UCLA as the dominant men's program of the 1990s

with four men's NCAA championships (1995, 1996, 1999, 2000) and

three national collegiate women’s titles (1996, 1997, 1998). He earned

National Coach of the Year honors four times (1995-96 men, 1997-98 women) and coached

the Women’s National Team at the 2004 and 2008 Olympics.

Baker led the 2006-07 Women's National Team to gold medals at the 2007 World

Championships, the 2007 World League Super Final and the 2007 Pan-American Games,

where the team secured its qualifying spot for the 2008 Olympic games. Baker’s combined

record at UCLA was 265-97 overall and 64-28 in league games.

Three of his athletes were each named National Player of the Year twice – Coralie Simmons,

Sean Kern, and Matt Swanson. In all, Bruin athletes secured All-America honors 52 times

and eight players competed in the Olympics under Baker.

UCLA’S FORMER HEAD COACHES

Adam Krikorian

Adam Krikorian served as head coach of the men's water polo team

from 1999-2008 and as head coach of the women's program from

1999-2009. Krikorian now serves as the head coach of the U.S. Women's

Water Polo National Team. He guided Team USA to its fi rst-ever Olympic

gold medal in women's water polo in 2012 in London and followed that

with another gold in 2016 in Rio.

As head coach of both UCLA water polo programs, he helped lead the

Bruins to 11 national championships (three men's, eight women's). He coached the men's

water polo team to NCAA titles in 1999, 2000 and 2004. As head coach of the women's

program, Krikorian guided UCLA to the 2000 National Collegiate Championship and NCAA

titles in 2001 and 2003 before reeling off fi ve consecutive NCAA championships (2005-09).

Between the two UCLA water polo programs, Krikorian coached six Peter J. Cutino Award

recipients, seven National Player of the Year selections and 12 Olympians. He led the UCLA

men's and women's teams to national championships in the same academic year on three

occasions (1999-00, 2000-01 and 2004-05).

Krikorian assumed head coaching duties of the U.S. Women's Water Polo National Team

following the 2009 collegiate spring season and helped guide Team USA to the gold medal

at the 2009 FINA World Championships in Rome.

Krikorian was a four-year water polo letterwinner at UCLA (1992-95), helping lead the

men's program to the 1995 NCAA Championship at the conclusion of his senior season

(the program's fi rst national title since 1972).

Dr. James Puffer Loyalty and Contribution AwardDr. James Puffer was a three-year water polo

letterwinner (1969-71) and member of two

national championship teams (1969, 1971)

at UCLA. He earned his doctorate degree from

UCLA Medical School in 1976, attaining a family

practice residency at UCLA Medical Center

upon his graduation. He was named Chief of

the Division of Family Medicine in 1983 and

helped to make the discipline a department in

1997, of which he chaired until 1998.

An instrumental fi gure within the UCLA Athletic

Department, Dr. Puffer served as a team

physician and Chief of Sports Medicine until

his departure in 2001. He was an Olympic team

physician during the 1988 Olympics in Seoul,

Korea. In 1991, Dr. Puffer was instrumental in

raising funds to endow the men’s water polo

program when its existence was at risk. He

served as a mentor to UCLA student-athletes

and coaches alike.

In December of 2001, Dr. Puffer left UCLA to

assume the position of Executive Director of the

American Board of Family Practice in Lexington,

Kentucky. Puffer said at the time that he could

not pass up “the opportunity to provide effective

and dynamic leadership to my discipline.” In

his honor of leadership and devotion to UCLA,

the Dr. James Puffer Loyalty and Contribution

Award was established in 2001.

Jack Bariteau Most Inspirational AwardJack Bariteau was a three-year water polo

letterwinner (1968-70) for the Bruins, helping

guide UCLA to its fi rst-ever NCAA championship

in men’s water polo in 1969. Bariteau played

for the Bruins under long-time head coach Bob

Horn. Since his days as a student at UCLA,

he has been a tremendous benefactor to the

men’s water polo program.

Bariteau, along with a group of other former

men’s water polo players, helped launch a

campaign in the early 1990s to preserve the

men’s water polo program at UCLA as an

NCAA sport. Bariteau’s name now graces the

team’s “Most Inspirational Award,” in honor of

his service to UCLA and commitment to the

men’s water polo program as an alumnus.

#114This was supposed to be a rebuilding year for top-seeded

UCLA, which lost eight seniors in 2015 and another nine

in 2016 to graduation. The Bruins have six true freshmen

on their roster playing major minutes and also had a

redshirt sophomore goalkeeper playing for the fi rst time

as a full-time starter in NCAA competition.

But despite the fact that they were picked to fi nish fourth by

the league coaches, they matured into a strong defensive

unit that held the nation’s top offensive team in their

home pool to just fi ve goals, winning the programs’ 11th

national title and UCLA’s 114th NCAA Championship with

a 7-5 win over third-seeded USC on Sunday afternoon

at USC’s Uytengsu Aquatics Center. The Bruins fi nished

the year at 21-4 while USC dropped to 27-4.

Seniors Alex Roelse and Matt Farmer led the Bruins

with a game-high two goals each. Redshirt sophomore

Alex Wolf played the entire game in the cage for UCLA,

registering 10 saves while allowing just fi ve goals, two

on Trojan power plays.

Matteo Morelli scored the fi rst goal of the game for USC

on a power play at the 6:42 mark. Marin Dasic made it

2-0 with a goal from the front court (1:51). Freshman

Quinten Osborne got the Bruins on the board with a goal

at two meters (1:33) to trim the Trojans’ lead to 2-1.

Zach D’Sa scored on a cross-cage shot to open the

scoring in the second period (4:37), giving the Trojans a

3-1 advantage. But Roelse scored from the front court

with 21 seconds left to cut the lead to 3-2 at the break.

Farmer tied things up at 3-3 (3:33) off a nice feed from

Roelse into two meters. But James Walters answered

immediately with a goal (3:05) to put USC up 4-3.

Senior Max Irving then scored from the front court after

an ordinary foul (1:56) to tie the game at 4-4. Roelse

then provided his second score of the game and the

Bruins’ fi rst power play goal to give UCLA its fi rst lead of

the game (0:44) at 5-4, ending the scoring in the third.

Blake Edwards tied the game at 5-5 with a power play

score (6:47) to open the scoring in the fourth. Farmer

then scored a power play goal (6:05) to put the Bruins

back in front, 6-5. Both teams made several defensive

stops down the stretch. But none was bigger than the

Bruins’ stop in the fi nal seconds on a Trojan power play.

Later, Wolf collected a ball from a Bruin teammate and

noticed that USC goalie McQuin Baron was out of the

cage on the other end and fi red a shot that scored with

just two seconds remaining to provide the 7-5 fi nal.

Wolf was named the Most Valuable Player of the 2017

NCAA Championship. Roelse and Irving joined him on the

First Team All-Tournament. Farmer and freshman Nicolas

Saveljic were named Second Team All-Tournament.

#113The top-ranked UCLA Bruins won their second straight

NCAA Championship with a 10-7 win over No. 3 USC

(22-7) at Dirks Pool at Spieker Aquatics Center on Sunday

evening. The Bruins concluded the season at 30-0 on the

year, winning their 33rd-straight game, which extends

the second-longest winning streak in school history. The

all-time record is 50, which was established from 1964-

68. This was the fi rst undefeated season for UCLA since

the 1969 team went 19-0. It was also the program’s

10th title and the school’s 113th NCAA Championship,

which leads the nation.

The undefeated season for the Bruins was just the fourth

all-time in NCAA men’s water polo history, joining the 2012

and 2008 USC squads and the 1992 California team.

Eight different Bruins scored in the title game, led by

juniors Ryder Roberts and Patrick Fellner, each with two

scores. Junior goalkeeper Garrett Danner registered 13

saves for UCLA.

Roberts was named the 2015 NCAA Men’s Water Polo

Championship Most Valuable Player. Joining Roberts as

a First Team All-NCAA Tournament selection was senior

Daniel McClintick, senior Anthony Daboub and Danner.

Junior Gordon Marshall was the lone Bruin to earn Second

#112The No. 1 UCLA men’s water polo team (29-3, 8-0 MPSF)

brought home its ninth NCAA title and 112th in UCLA

history with a 9-8 win over six-time defending champion

USC on Sunday afternoon at UCSD’s Canyonview Aquatic

Center.

The 29 wins tied UCLA’s single-season record (29-5 in

1988) as the Bruins earned their fi rst NCAA Championship

since 2004, coincidentally the last time UCLA went

undefeated in MPSF play. The win over the Trojans

improved UCLA’s record this season against USC to 4-1,

which equalled its record against the Adam Krikorian-

coached squad in 2002.

Junior Danny McClintick led all scorers with four goals

and was named the NCAA Tournament MVP. Sophomores

Garrett Danner and Gordon Marshall joined McClintick

on the NCAA’s All-Tournament First Team. Seniors

Cristiano Mirarchi and Paul Reynolds were both named

to the Second Team.

Top-seeded UCLA struck fi rst when sophomore Chancellor

Ramirez scored from the front court (4:25). Senior Daniel

Lenhart then set up redshirt freshman Matt Farmer for

a cross-cage score to put the Bruins up 2-0 (1:13) and

end the scoring in the opening stanza.

James Walters scored fi rst for the Trojans in the second

quarter to cut the lead to 2-1 (5:02). But McClintick

pushed the lead to 3-1 on the next possession (4:43).

USC answered with a power play goal by Mihajlo Milicevic

to trim the lead to 3-2 (3:37). But senior David Culpan

fi red a shot bar-in that pushed it back to 4-2 (3:17). That

score would hold up till halftime.

Matteo Morelli opened the scoring in the third with a power

play goal to cut the lead to 4-3 (6:59). McClintick then

scored his second on a 6-on-5 opportunity (4:29) to push

the lead to 5-3. McClintick scored his second straight

to complete a hat trick and double up the Trojans at 6-3

(1:05). Nick Bell answered with an exclusion goal (0:06)

to trim the lead to 6-4. But sophomore Jack Fellner had

the last word with a goal from half-tank at the buzzer to

end the scoring in the third with the Bruins leading 7-4.

Kostas Genidounias opened the scoring in the fourth with

a nice lob shot (7:45) to make it 7-5. Marc Vonderweidt

converted a Trojan power play to cut the lead to 7-6

(4:29). Then Genidounias tied the game with a goal at full

strength to make it 7-7 (3:32). McClintick gave the Bruins

an 8-7 lead with 3:13 to go, but USC’s Vonderweidt tied it

at 8-8 on the next possession (2:50). Sophomore Gordon

Marshall wouldn’t be denied as he hit the game-winner

from two meters with 0:34 to go. The Bruins got the

stop on the next possession and then ran out the clock.

#95Sophomore Logan Powell scored the game-winning goal

with 13 seconds remaining in the second overtime period to

send UCLA to a thrilling 10-9 victory over Stanford on Sunday

afternoon in the NCAA Men’s Water Polo Championships at

Stanford’s Avery Aquatics Center. For the Bruins, it is their

eighth NCAA title in men’s water polo and the 95th for the

UCLA athletic program.

Stanford took an early edge when Greg Crum converted a

Tony Azevedo pass past Bruin goalkeeper Joseph Axelrad

for a 1-0 lead. UCLA would answer less than a minute later

when senior attacker Brett Ormsby dished off to fellow senior

attacker Albert Garcia, who sent one past Cardinal keeper

Chad Taylor. The Cardinal reclaimed the lead at 4:15 in the

fi rst on an extra-man goal by Sam Tyre and ran their lead to

3-1 with Thomas Hopkins’ goal from just inside two meters

at 3:20. But UCLA’s Garcia netted his second goal of the

match at 1:21 to bring the Bruins to within one.

Then at the fi ve minute mark in the second, the Bruins re-

knotted the match when Peter Belden pushed in a shot just

beyond the goal line after Ted Peck’s shot was defl ected by

Taylor. Stanford regained the lead again with Peter Varellas’

extra-man goal at 4:17. UCLA would then go on to score two

unanswered goals to bring a 5-4 lead into halftime. UCLA’s

fourth goal came as Grant Zider scored on a lob pass from

Ormsby just outside two-meters. Powell gave the Bruins

their fi rst lead of the match when his shot, assisted by Josh

Hewko, defl ected off Stanford’s Taylor and into the cage.

The teams exchanged single goals in the third, but UCLA

received a break when, early in the period after a Bruin

defensive stop, Peck, looking to pass back to Axelrad for

an outlet pass, left it short of the net and allowed Azevedo

to intercept. Axelrad, however, held strong and blocked

the one-on-one shot. At 4:28, UCLA took a two-goal lead

when Hewko fi red into an empty right side of the net after

fi elding a lofted pass from Ormsby. Stanford climed back

to within a goal when Thomas Hopkins scored at 1:09 for

the Cardinal’s third extra-man score of the game.

In the fourth, Axelrad came up huge again as he fended off

another wide-open Azevedo shot with under fi ve minutes

to play to maintain UCLA’s 6-5 advantage. UCLA padded

its lead when, at 3:14 in the fi nal period, Ormsby found

the back of the net after taking a cross pass from Garcia.

However, the Cardinal would not go quietly, as Varellas

brought Stanford to within one at 0:51 in the fourth and

Azevedo tied the match at 0:21 after an offensive turnover

sent the ball Stanford’s way.

In the fi rst overtime period, Stanford gained control at 1:56

when Hopkins found the back of the net from just outside four

meters. The Bruins struck right back at 1:45 when Ormsby

scored his second goal of the game for the 8-8 tie. Heading

into the second overtime period tied, Stanford took a 9-8

lead at 1:54 with another extra-man goal from Varellas. But

the Bruins fought back again with Peck’s fi rst goal of the

match after UCLA received a 6-on-5 advantage of its own.

Powell scored the championship-winning goal with 0:13

remaining after a Hewko 6-on-5 shot sailed off the arms

of Taylor and into Powell’s possession. His shot defl ected

off Taylor again but this time dribbled past the goal line.

UCLA head coach Adam Krikorian is now tied with UC Irvine’s

Ted Newland for NCAA water polo titles won by an active

head coach with three.

Notes: The Avery Aquatic Center holds 2,500 fans, about

500 less than the 3,044 in attendance Sunday ... UCLA

allowed three goals in the fi rst quarter, only the third time

the Bruins have allowed that many fi rst-quarter goals all

season ... Because of the national telecast of the match,

halftime was 10 minutes long instead of the traditional fi ve

minute break ... UCLA played the overtime period without

Garcia, Matt Jacobs (exhausted penalties) and Chris Pulido

(game exclusion).

#82All fi ve seniors scored goals to lead the men’s water polo

team to its fourth NCAA Championship in the last six

years, as the Bruins defeated UC San Diego 11-2 in the

title game at Pepperdine University. UCLA has now won

seven NCAA Championships in water polo and has 82 NCAA

titles, topping all collegiate athletic programs in the nation.

First team All-Tournament member Brian Brown opened

up the scoring for the Bruins at 5:18. Forty seconds later,

Brown took a perfect Sean Kern pass on the left side and

put it past Triton goalkeeper Glenn Busch to give UCLA a

2-0 at 4:40. UCSD’s Jonathan Samuels brought the Tritons

to within one when he scored an extra man goal at 3:04.

That goal would be the last that UCLA would give up until

the last few minutes of the game. Jeff Pfl ueger scored off

a Matt Flesher pass to give the Bruins a 3-1 advantage

after the fi rst period.

Andy Bailey walked in and scored his fi rst goal of the day

with 4:22 remaining in the second period. After an extra

man save by UCLA goalkeeper Brandon Brooks, Dave

Parker scored from two meters to give the Bruins a 5-1

lead. Tournament MVP Kern gave UCLA a 6-1 halftime

lead with a goal at 2:17. Brooks made a fi ngertip save

on a shot by UCSD’s Julian Wylie to end the second half.

In the third period, Brown drove the length of the pool

and put one away to make the score 7-1. Thirty seconds

later, Blake Wellen took a pass from Andy Bailey on the

left side and scored to make it 8-1. Kern muscled his way

around the defense to score his second goal of the game

with 4:11 remaining in the third. With 3:33 remaining

in the period, Pfl ueger was ejected, but UCLA’s defense

stopped three shots and Brooks was able to come out

and make a steal. Pfl ueger scored his second goal of the

game during an extra man opportunity, taking a Bailey

pass on the left side and putting it past Busch.

With 3:24 left in the game and UCLA ahead 10-1, the

Bruin reserves entered the game to a roaring cheer.

UCSD’s Vladimir Djapic scored the Tritons’ second goal

of the day after a Jon Puffer ejection, but Dan Yeilding

kept the winning margin at nine when he put one away

with 34 seconds left in the game.

UCLA outshot UCSD 27-19. The Bruins had numerous

steals and when the Triton offense was able to get a shot

off, Brooks was phenomenal in goal. “With this UCLA

team, the difference is they play defense better than

anyone else. You could see that today. We were horrible

on the offensive end. With what few opportunities we had,

their goalie, Mr. (Brandon) Brooks, he was on everything.

I was really impressed with him. I knew he was good, but

how a human covers a cage that’s three feet high and

ten feet wide is beyond me,” said UC San Diego coach

Denny Harper following the game.

UCLA co-head coach Guy Baker echoed Harper’s

thoughts. “I think Brandon is the best goalie in the

country, and a great part about our defense is if you

can break it down, which can be diffi cult, you still have

to score on Brandon.”

Kern earned Tournament MVP honors for the second year

in a row, as well as being named to the All-Tournament

fi rst team. Joining him on the fi rst team were Brown and

Brooks. Parker and Wellen earned second team honors.

The UCLA water polo team has now won back to back

NCAA Championships for the third time. They captured

titles in 1971-72, 1995-96, and 1999-2000. Baker

has coached the men’s team to four NCAA titles, and

the UCLA women’s water polo team to three national

championships.

In the third place game played prior to the championship,

USC defeated Navy, 15-9.

DIRKS POOL AT SPIEKER AQUATICS CENTER

The UCLA men’s water polo team begins its 11th season playing at Dirks Pool at Spieker Aquatics Center in the fall of 2019. Over the past 10 seasons, UCLA has logged a 83-9 (.902) record at its state-of-the-art home facility, where it won its 10th NCAA title in school history in 2015.

Spieker Aquatics Center opened in September 2009, in time for the start of the men’s water polo season that fall. PCL Construction broke ground on the facility in July 2008. The athletics department offi cially opened Spieker Aquatics Center on Sept. 26, 2009, as the men’s water polo team defeated UC Irvine, 10-4, after a dedication ceremony that evening.

In 2019, UCLA is slated to play seven regular-season games at Spieker Aquatics Center. The Bruins will also host the MPSF SoCal Invitational on Sept. 27-29 with water polo fans getting to see the top 16 teams in the nation battle it out for the title.

In the fall of 2011, UCLA hosted the MPSF Tournament (Nov. 25-27), using Dirks Pool at Spieker Aquatics Center. The Bruins took full advantage of their home court and won the Conference Tournament by beating top-ranked USC, 10-9, in sudden victory overtime on Nov. 27, 2012. The Bruins can also use the pool at Sunset Canyon Recreation Center when hosting larger events.

The Bruins’ women’s water polo program hosted the MPSF Tournament in May 2009, taking advantage of the home setting to win the title at the three-day event.

Spieker Aquatics Center features a 52-meter by 25-yard all-deep water pool with a dividing bulkhead, allowing races to take place at varying distances (meters, versus yards). The pool also has four platforms on a diving tower, at heights of three, fi ve seven and one half, and 10-meter platforms, as well as one and three-meter springboards. In addition, the aquatics center features a warming pool for divers directly behind the tower.

Adjacent to Sunset Canyon Recreation Center on the northwest portion of campus, the Spieker Aquatics Center was made possible thanks to a generous lead gift from former student-athlete Tod Spieker and his wife, Catherine. Tod, a 1971 UCLA graduate and All-American, swam for the Bruins from 1968-71 and still competes in Master’s Swimming.

The pool, Dirks Pool, is named after Carolyn Dirks, who provided the lead gift for the swimming pool. Dirks Pool has also been used for special use events and Masters Swim meets. The signature feature of the Spieker Aquatics Center is the diving tower, which sits at the west end of the pool. The east end of

the pool houses the new scoreboard, an LED, state-of-the-art piece of electronics, making scores, statistics and messages easily visible to all in attendance.

Next to the scoreboard is the “Wall of Champions”, showcasing all of UCLA’s water polo, swimming and diving national championship teams, and individual student-athletes’ achievements, record-holders and Olympians.

Separate men’s and women’s locker rooms house enough lockers for all team members, with shower space and bathroom stalls and sinks for each team. Equipment needed for meets and matches have storage capacity on the facility’s south side.

When walking through the public entryway to the center, visitors fi rst notice the Donor Wall. All donors who generously made gifts to the Spieker Aquatics Center are recognized on this wall. Additionally, over 50 former UCLA water polo players, swimmers and divers made gifts to “name” a locker. Those names will forever be part of the locker rooms in the new facility.

The state-of-the-art facility brings together all three of UCLA’s intercollegiate aquatic sports – water polo, swimming and diving – to one venue. The aquatics center features event lighting and permanent seating with the possibility of additional temporary seating for larger events.
