  SEASON OUTLOOK UCLA Seeks to Build from Strong 2009 Season Backed by veteran roster and postseason experience, national title aspirations abound at Spieker Aquatics Center

The UCLA men’s water polo program marched one step closer to its ultimate goal in 2009, winning the MPSF Tournament before advancing to the NCAA Championship match under first-year head coach Adam Wright. But bitter memories of a 7-6 loss to crosstown rival USC in the NCAA Championship remain fresh in the Bruins’ minds, and UCLA has the experience and leadership to get back to the top in 2010. UCLA returns nearly 80 percent of their scoring offense from last fall. Senior Ben Hohl, a second-team All-America and All-MPSF selection one year ago, finished second on the team with 40 goals in 2009 and will be expected to help shoulder the offensive load in 2010. A left-handed attacker from Atherton, Calif., Hohl will quarterback the Bruins’ counter- attack, leading the team in 6-on-5 situations. Sophomores Griffin White (33 goals) and Josh Samuels (32 goals) look to build off their fabulous first-year campaigns, while junior Cullen Hennessy (23 goals) will be counted on as one of the team’s top veterans. The Bruins also welcome back five juniors and seniors who have each played over 50 career games, including seniors Clay Jorth, Kevin Kuga and Jacob Murphy and juniors Brett Hays and Matt Preciado. Murphy, Hays and Preciado have all competed for playing time at the center position the last two seasons, while Jorth and Kuga have served as reliable JOSH SAMUELS attackers in each of their three seasons. Murphy and Hohl played for the USA National Team in February for two seasons at Golden West College. The product of Sao to Lapin.

Jorth returned from an in 2008. He enters 2010 having logged 14 saves in just UCLA’s leading scorer in 2009 (47 goals). injury sustained early in his freshman season (2008), scoring under 10 quarters. seven goals while chipping in with 13 steals, 12 assists and Samuels and White played for the USA Junior National Team 11 blocks in 2009 as a redshirt freshman. In addition to a well-rounded group of veterans, UCLA will at the Pan American Championships in August 2010 along look for contributions from its freshmen – both redshirt with Bruin sophomore Bret Lathrope and redshirt freshmen Among the most glaring question marks for UCLA as it enters freshmen and first-year players.

The Emilio Vieira and sophomore Clinton Jorth. Vieira arrived logging 56 saves in just under 23 quarters of action. He Bruins will play 14 contests at home – of which four will be in Westwood in the summer of 2009 after having excelled notched a 2.58 goals against average as the primary backup played during the SoCal Tournament. After kicking off the season with a home match against Concordia (Sept. 11), UCLA heads north to Berkeley, Calif., for the two-day NorCal Tournament. One week later, the Bruins host a non-conference affair against Loyola Marymount (Sept. 25). UCLA will welcome 16 teams to campus the weekend of Oct. 2-3 for the SoCal Tournament, which will be played at Spieker Aquatics Center and the adjacent pool at Sunset Canyon Recreation Center. The Bruins dive into their MPSF slate in the Bay Area with matches at California (Oct. 9) and Pacific (Oct. 10). The next weekend, UCLA opens a six-game home stretch with perennial conference power Stanford under the lights on a Friday night (Oct. 15) before facing Chapman (Oct. 17) two days later. Ensuing home matches include UC Irvine in MPSF action (Oct. 23), an afternoon doubleheader featuring UC San Diego and Pomona Pitzer (Oct. 30) and a conference contest the next day versus Long Beach State (Oct. 31). UCLA closes its regular-season schedule with four matches in November, opening with an MPSF game at USC (Nov. 6). The Bruins’ final two home games include Air Force (Nov. 8) and conference challenger Pepperdine (Nov. 13), before the season closes with an MPSF contest at UC Santa Barbara (Nov. 14). Following a two-week layoff from any games, UCLA’s season heats up at the MPSF Tournament, hosted by Stanford from Nov. 26-28. The Bruins look to win the conference tournament in back-to-back season for the first time since accomplishing that feat in 1999 and 2000 (USC last won in consecutive seasons, 2007 and 2008). California will host the 2010 NCAA Tournament the weekend of December 4-5.
