It was July of 2000, and I was 11 years old. I remember anxiously awaiting my first game that whole week and was telling my friends at junior lifeguards and club swimming all about it. The day of the game was a long one, as it included work with junior guards and swim practice, but the excitement and adrenaline I had built up over the week carried me through the game. I played for Coach Ted at CDM Junior Polo. Since I had no previous experience (i.e., I had no idea what I was doing!), he coached me through the game. No warm-up necessary—I just jumped right in and the clock started. I swam up and down the pool as hard as I could and tried my best to get to the ball. I had no clue about balance or helping on defense or even how to shoot the ball, but I was one of the fastest kids out there. I scored one counterattack goal, and that was by far the highlight of my first game. Who knew I would become a goalie? I continued to play throughout the summer and looked forward to my Thursday-night games all week! My first game was the just first step in a long process of learning and practice, but it was enough fun to keep me coming back...and I’m still enjoying the game 12 years later!. 4 Quick Shots from USA Water Polo 5 METERS What’s on my iPod?

  • Water Polo National Collegiate Women’S
    Water Polo NATIONAL COLLEGIATE WOMEN’S Highlights Southern California Takes Championship Over Stanford, 10-9: Southern California coach Jovan Vavic was still soggy from the celebratory dip in the pool after his team’s 10-9 NCAA women’s water polo championship-clinching defeat of Stanford May 16. He was also all smiles with Women of Troy seniors Tumua Anae and Kally Lucas on either side of him. “When you’re a coach for so many years, you think it’s going to get old,” he said. “But I’m as excited about this finish, this championship as [2004]. It doesn’t get old. In fact, in some ways I was more excited for this one because we waited so long.” Past frustrations were exorcised at the San Diego State University Aztec Aquaplex in a defeat of top-seeded Stanford that came down literally to the final play. Despite lead- ing through three periods, Southern California had to hold off a Stanford rally that nearly bridged a four-goal gap. Annika Dries’ goal with 45 seconds remaining brought Stanford within one for the first time since early in the third period, and capped a torrid, 1-minute, 40-second sprint. With momentum decidedly on Stanford’s side and less than a minute separating Southern California from the championship it had been denied in the previous two title games, the Women of Troy regrouped. “With 45 seconds left, we were all in the center of the pool saying, `This is the best defense of our lives,’” said Lucas. “And we got our stop.
