NATIONAL COLLEGIATE MEN’S WATER POLO CHAMPIONSHIPS RECORDS BOOK 2016 Championship 2 History 2 Won-Lost Records In Tournament Play 7 All-Time Results 8 2016 CHAMPIONSHIP HIGHLIGHTS After trailing for three quarters, California overtook USC and won the national championship 11-8 in overtime. The Bears captured their 14th national title and first since 2007. Over time, those words will sink in for the 16 Golden Bears that rallied for an 11-8 overtime victory over No. 1-ranked USC on Saturday at Spieker Aquatics Complex. The two teams had slightly different roads to get here. The Bears, after a 20-4 season, took down Pomona-Pitzer 16-6 in the first play-in game of the NCAA tournament, then handed UCLA its third loss of the year in a 9-8 OT win over the Bruins. Trailing 5-3 entering the fourth period, goals by Conor Neumann and Luca Cupido tied the score and, though the teams traded blows from then until the end of the period, Cal hung on to remain tied at 7 entering extra time. No. 3 Cal (23-4) struck first in the first overtime. A 5-meter penalty shot by Johnny Hooper got the Bears started, and after a goal by USC’s James Walters tied the score at 8, senior Farrel South found the slightest space between USC goalkeeper McQuin Baron and the post, firing it past the Olympian for a 9-8 lead with one minute left in overtime. Perhaps the biggest blow came just before the horn sounded to end the first overtime period. Given one final shot with nearly no time remaining, Luca Cupido fired one of the season’s most memorable goals, scoring from long distance as the buzzer sounded to make it 10-8 with three minutes left. With the win, Cal adds another championship to a total that already led the nation and it is the Bears’ first since 2007. While Lazar Andric was named tourna- ment MVP, Cupido, Odysseas Masmanidis and Johnny Hooper were each named first team All-NCAA Tournament. Neumann was named to the second team. 2016 RESULTS Semifinals California 9, UCLA 8 Southern California 19, Harvard 4 Championship California 11, Southern California 8 HISTORY RESULTS Year Champion (Record) Coach Score Runner-Up Host or Site Attendance 1969 UCLA (19-0) Bob Horn 5-2 California Long Beach, Calif. — 1970 UC Irvine (27-2) Ted Newland 7-6 (3 OT) UCLA Long Beach, Calif. — 1971 UCLA (18-1) Bob Horn 5-3 San Jose St. Long Beach, Calif. — 1972 UCLA (19-1) Bob Horn 10-5 UC Irvine New Mexico — 1973 California (25-1) Pete Cutino 8-4 UC Irvine Long Beach, Calif. — 1974 California (25-2) Pete Cutino 7-6 UC Irvine Long Beach, Calif. — 1975 California (22-6) Pete Cutino 9-8 UC Irvine Long Beach, Calif. 3,326 1976 Stanford (20-2) Art Lambert 13-12 UCLA Long Beach, Calif. 3,050 1977 California (29-3) Pete Cutino 8-6 UC Irvine Brown 765 1978 Stanford (26-1-1) Dante Dettamanti 7-6 (3 OT) California Long Beach, Calif. 2,541 2016 Championship 2 Year Champion (Record) Coach Score Runner-Up Host or Site Attendance 1979 UC Santa Barbara (27-2-1) Pete Snyder 11-3 UCLA Long Beach, Calif. 2,542 1980 Stanford (28-2-1) Dante Dettamanti 8-6 California Long Beach, Calif. 2,401 1981 Stanford (31-0) Dante Dettamanti 17-6 Long Beach St. Long Beach, Calif. 2,579 1982 UC Irvine (30-0) Ted Newland 7-4 Stanford Long Beach, Calif. 2,128 1983 California (29-3-2) Pete Cutino 10-7 Southern California Long Beach, Calif. 2,697 1984 California (26-4-1) Pete Cutino 9-8 Stanford Long Beach, Calif. 3,214 1985 Stanford (25-4) Dante Dettamanti 12-11 (2 OT) UC Irvine Long Beach, Calif. 3,410 1986 Stanford (36-0) Dante Dettamanti 9-6 California Long Beach, Calif. 3,491 1987 California (27-3) Pete Cutino 9-8 (OT) Southern California Long Beach, Calif. 4,398 1988 California (33-3) Pete Cutino 14-11 UCLA Long Beach, Calif. 5,073 1989 UC Irvine (27-6) Ted Newland 9-8 California Indianapolis 3,421 1990 California (29-1) Steve Heaston 8-7 Stanford Long Beach, Calif. 3,185 1991 California (26-1) Steve Heaston 7-6 UCLA Long Beach, Calif. 3,502 1992 California (31-0) Steve Heaston 12-11 (3 OT) Stanford Long Beach, Calif. 3,517 1993 Stanford (24-6) Dante Dettamanti 11-9 Southern California Long Beach, Calif. 3,165 1994 Stanford (27-1) Dante Dettamanti 14-10 Southern California Long Beach, Calif. 3,608 1995 UCLA (20-6) Guy Baker 10-8 California Stanford 1,903 1996 UCLA (24-6) Guy Baker 8-7 Southern California UC San Diego 2,790 1997 Pepperdine (25-3) Terry Schroeder 8-7 (2 OT) Southern California Fort Lauderdale, Fla. 927 1998 Southern California (25-3) John Williams/Jovan Vavic 9-8 (2 OT) Stanford Newport Beach, Calif. 3,132 1999 UCLA (22-3) Guy Baker/Adam Krikorian 6-5 Stanford La Jolla, Calif. 4,441 2000 UCLA (19-7) Guy Baker/Adam Krikorian 11-2 UC San Diego Malibu, Calif. 3,049 2001 Stanford (22-1) Dante Dettamanti 8-5 UCLA Stanford 4,503 2002 Stanford (24-5) John Vargas 7-6 California Loyola Marymount 4,767 2003 Southern California (24-3) Jovan Vavic 9-7 (OT) Stanford Stanford 4,280 2004 UCLA (25-3) Adam Krikorian 10-9 (OT) Stanford Stanford 3,044 2005 Southern California (26-1) Jovan Vavic 3-2 Stanford Bucknell 1,656 2006 California (31-4) Kirk Everist 7-6 Southern California Loyola Marymount 4,552 2007 California (28-4) Kirk Everist 8-6 Southern California Stanford 4,369 2008 Southern California (29-0) Jovan Vavic 7-5 Stanford Stanford 2,660 2009 Southern California (26-2) Jovan Vavic 7-6 UCLA Princeton 1,822 2010 Southern California (28-2) Jovan Vavic 12-10 (2 OT) California California 2,135 2011 Southern California (24-3) Jovan Vavic 7-4 UCLA California 2,184 2012 Southern California (29-0) Jovan Vavic 11-10 UCLA Southern California 2,520 2013 Southern California (28-4) Jovan Vavic 12-11 (2 OT) Pacific Stanford 2,212 2014 UCLA (29-3) Adam Wright 9-8 Southern California La Jolla, Calif. 3,134 2015 UCLA (30-0) Adam Wright 10-7 Southern California Los Angeles, Calif. 2,218 2016 California (23-4) Kirk Everist 11-8 Southern California Berkeley, Calif.
