AA-All-Around 2004 CAL WOMEN’S WATER POLO MEDIA GUIDE 1 2004 SEASON OUTLOOK Senior goalie and team captain Lauren Dennis has 333 career saves, earning honorable mention All- America honors in 2002. An additional offensive spark for Cal will be junior attacker Cara Chlebicki, who was second on the team in scoring last year with 24 goals. Chlebicki has started along with Jodie Needles ever since her freshman year and has tallied 46 goals in two seasons. She was the Bears’ leading scorer in eight matches in 2003 and had three goals in the MPSF Tournament. Another key for the 2004 Bears will be the offensive talents of junior All-Arounder Needles, who led the team with 34 goals and was named second team All-America and second team All-MPSF last year. Needles is extremely talented offensively with a tremendous outside shot, leading Cal in scoring in 14 of the team’s 23 matches and tallying four goals during the MPSF Tournament. She has already scored 61 goals in two seasons for the YOUNG BEARS Bears. LOOKING FOR SHOT AT NCAA TOURNAMENT s California women’s water polo coach Amber Drury-Pinto embarks upon her second season leading the Golden Bears, her A team is still young. Fourteen of her 21 players are either freshmen or sophomores, but with a quality group of veterans and a talented mix of underclassmen, Cal is still looking to contend for a postseason berth in 2004. Drury-Pinto and the Bears know it will be a challenge to qualify for the NCAA Tournament, which will expand from four to eight teams in 2005, yet are optimistic behind the senior leadership of Lauren Dennis, Lindy Spieker and Ashley Miller. Dennis is one of the nation’s top goalies, manning the net full-time the past two seasons and tallying 333 saves in her career. She was an honorable mention All-American in 2002 and has been an honorable mention All- MPSF pick the past two seasons. Dennis was also a member of the 2002 Junior National Team that won a gold medal at the World Championships. Spieker and Miller are not Cal’s leading scorers, but do provide the type of steady play that helps teams win matches. Spieker is key at the center position for the Bears and is proficient at forcing opponent kick outs. She has notched 24 goals in her college career. Miller is an all-around talent capable of providing Cal with a spark, both offensively and defensively, and has scored 13 goals for the Bears in three seasons. “These three players call themselves ‘The Super Seniors’, but they really are the true leaders of this team,” said Drury-Pinto. “As our only three seniors they have an outstanding work ethic and are definitely leading Lindy Spieker is a one of the Bears’ three senior leaders and has the team by example.” tallied 24 goals in her college career. 2 2004 CAL WOMEN’S WATER POLO MEDIA GUIDE Two more upperclassmen for Cal are junior attackers Natalie Nelson and Cami Kliner. Nelson is a strong left-handed shooter, scoring seven goals as a redshirt freshman and eight goals last season as a sophomore. She had a team-high three goals in a MPSF victory over San Jose State in 2003. Kliner, one of the team’s fastest swimmers, tallied a pair of goals last season and should also help provide leadership to the young Bears this year. Cal has a large group of talented sophomores who are sure to play key roles in 2004. Center Allison Gold showed her scoring ability last season, finishing third on the team with 22 goals. Gold was the Bears’ leading scorer in seven matches during the year and tallied four goals in the MPSF Tournament. Center Lauren McGee and attacker Katie Card are two more sophomores who will be counted on after scoring eight goals apiece last season, while Breana Allison is one of Cal’s top two-meter defenders and scored four goals last year as a true freshman. Junior Jodie Needles earned second All-America and second team All-MPSF honors last year after leading Cal with 34 goals. Junior Cara Chlebicki has been one of the Bears’ top scorers the past two seasons, tallying 22 goals as a freshman and 24 goals last year. Other sophomores in the playing mix include attackers Shaina Feldman and Brittani Llorente, all-rounder Holly Farlin and goalie Alex Feune de Colombi. Attacker Marnie O’Donnell could also help the Bears after redshirting in 2003. The Cal coaching staff is extremely excited about the prospects of 5-11 blue-chip freshman Elsie Windes, who is projected to help the Bears immediately, both offensively and defensively, at two-meters. A three- year member of the National Youth Team, Windes was the 2003 Oregon State Player of the Year and was one of the nation’s top recruits coming out of Beaverton High School. Other top freshman recruits for the Bears are All-Arounder Annie Wright, center Rebecca Dreyfuss and defender Lauren Calnero. “I feel this team is developing some great depth,” said Drury-Pinto. “Because we have a lot of young players, I still don’t always know what to expect, and other teams don’t know what to expect as well. But, I think the team is learning to play with heart, instead of emotion. The biggest Senior captain Ashley Miller is one of Cal’s top all-around players, improvement in this team is its attitude. They are dedicated to this season, leading the Bears both offensively and defensively. and they are dedicated to each other.” 2004 CAL WOMEN’S WATER POLO MEDIA GUIDE 3 THE COACHING STAFF As an athlete, Orwig was a star goalie at USC, earning second team All- America honors as a sophomore and junior.

    UCLA Women's Water Polo

    UCLA Women’s Water Polo – 2007 NCAA Champions The 2007 UCLA women’s water polo team enjoyed tremendous success, winning both the MPSF Tournament title and the NCAA Championship, the Bruins’ third-consecutive NCAA title. Senior attacker Kelly Rulon broke the school’s all-time scoring record, registering 70 goals for the third consecutive season to finish with 237 career goals. UCLA’s NCAA Championship marked the final collegiate game for five Bruins - Molly Cahill, Emily Feher, Kacy Kunkel, Jenna Murphy and Kelly Rulon. All five players contributed to each of UCLA’s NCAA championship seasons in 2005, 2006 and 2007. Rulon, who redshirted the 2004 season while training for the summer Olympics in Athens, Greece, helped lead the program to the 2003 NCAA title as a true freshman. The 2007 Bruins raced to a 10-0 record by late February, registering wins against California, Hawaii, Indiana, USC, Pacific, Santa Clara and UC Irvine. In the team’s final contest at the UC Irvine Invitational, UCLA dropped its first match of the season to Stanford, 8-4. In early April, the Bruins faced both USC and Stanford on consecutive weekends in MPSF play. UCLA registered a crucial 8-7 victory against USC on April 7, before dropping a 7- 6 decision to Stanford in overtime the following Saturday. With a mark of 20-2 after that loss, the Bruins never looked back. In the MPSF Tournament, UCLA cruised past Long Beach State, 17-5, on day one. In their semifinal match against USC, the Bruins won by a 10-9 margin.

    Water Polo NATIONAL COLLEGIATE WOMEN’S Highlights Stanford captures its third NCAA title in four years, beats UCLA 9-5: For a team that only lost once all season and outscored its op- ponents 346 to 151, Stanford has had its share of adversity. But overcoming challenges has become a point of pride for the team and the Cardinal did it again May 11, winning the NCAA champion- ship by defeating No. 2 UCLA 9-5. The No. 1 ranked Cardinal (25-1) were down 5-3 at halftime, but scored six goals in the second half, including three goals in 1:23. “The story with this team is they have been unifi ed all season,” coach John Tanner said. “We’ve been down a lot in games and the faith they have in one another and that is really unusual and inspiring.” It was the team’s fourth championship and third in four years. The team is the only one that has made the NCAA tournament every year since 2001. Ironically, the only team to beat them was UCLA Feb. 23 and it was that loss that was the turning point of the season. “I really have to thank them,” Tanner said. “I think that really pulled us even closer as a team.” The members had a meeting and everyone talked about how the loss aff ected them. “I don’t think there was one thing we pointed to,” said senior Annika Dries, who scored three goals in the championship game. “We heard from everyone from player 1 to 21.” Tanner talked about the team’s transformation after that loss.
