    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.

    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
    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.

The two-time first-team All-MPSF honoree leads the MPSF in scoring average (2.84 GPG) and was named to the conference all- tournament team following her nine-goal weekend, which included a hat trick in each of the three games en route to a championship. Vavic owns 110 career goals in less than two years, already 18th all-time at USC. She received MPSF Player of the Week honors on Feb. 11 and 18, the only player to go back-to-back this year. This is the ninth MPSF Player of the Year award for USC (’13-Vavic,’10-Tumua Anae, ’09-Kami Craig, ’04-Moriah Van Norman,’02 & ’01-Sofia Konouhk, ’00-Aniko Pelle, ’99 & ‘97-Bernice Orwig). 222000111333 MMMPPPSSSFFF NNNeeewwwcccooommmeeerrr ooofff ttthhheee YYYeeeaaarrr RACHEL FATTAL • #4 • FRESHMAN • ATTACKER • UCLA UCLA freshman Rachel Fattal (Seal Beach, CA/Los Alamitos HS) becomes the first Bruin water polo player, from either gender, to be named MPSF Newcomer of the Year.
