2007 Season Outlook 2007 Season Outlook f you’ve been out of the water polo loop, let the Women of Troy clue you back in. There’s no better time to hit the pool deck, catch some springtime sun, and watch some of the top women’s water polo players in the nation — and the world — do what they do best: Win. To start with, the Women of Troy are stacked with familiar faces to go along with their No. 1 national ranking as 2007 action starts up. Se- Iniors Erika Figge and Brittany Hayes have been starting for the Trojans since their freshman year. They already have one NCAA championship tucked under their caps, and they are aiming to help lead their USC teammates to another one in 2007. Figge and Hayes are joined by four other seniors on the roster, one of whom is fellow U.S. National Team player Patty Cardenas. Sophomore Kami Craig also hails from that U.S. roster, and the foursome have hopes of making the 2008 Olympic team roster. But first, there is some serious collegiate business to take care of. Carde- nas, Craig Figge and Hayes may enter the season with a red, white and blue target on their backs, but if opponents think that foursome is the only thing to worry about when the Women of Troy hit the pool, they’ll learn quickly that there is more to this USC team than three senior starters. Just ask head coach Jovan Vavic. “I think we have a very good combination of experience and youth, which I always find very important in winning championships,” said Vavic, who has claimed two national championships with the USC women and three with the men, and who guided the Women of Troy through an undefeated regular season in 2006, finishing second in the NCAA Tournament after a last-second loss to UCLA in the championship to end the year with a 27-3 overall record. “We have good experience and leadership with national team players plus Miranda Nichols, Marina Mayer and Jana Wenger. We are also balanced, in terms of having players in every position. I think this team will really be able to do anything.” Seniors Mayer and Wenger also were members of that 2004 NCAA championship team, and USC’s sixth senior this year, Denise Madrid, was active in that 2004 season to help drive the Women of Troy toward that crown. Those six, along with junior driver Nichols — another returning regular to the starting lineup — help create a foundation of talented and knowledgeable leadership for this season’s Trojan squad. “We have a good group that knows our system and knows what it takes to go through a four-and-a-half month season. I really expect great things from them,” Vavic said. “What’s going to make our team even stronger this year is that we have a strong junior class who know the system and can make a impact.” 2007 Quick Facts Carrying the torch for the junior class is a talented batch of drivers, led Location:.............................Los.Angeles,.CA..90089 by Nichols and also starring Veronika Bartunkova, Alison Riddle and Julie Founded:.............................................................1880 Spataru.

The whole team has the desire to get it done.” 2007 USC Women's Water Polo Media Guide • • Coach Profiles head coach Jovan Vavic 13th season Head coach Jovan Vavic, one of the top water polo coaches in the country, serves a dual role as the head coach of both the USC men’s and women’s teams. He has been with the USC women’s program since its inception in 1995, and has led his men’s and women’s teams to national championships twice in the same school year (the men in 1998 and 2003 and the women in 1999 and 2004). In his 11th season at the helm of the men’s program, Vavic led the Trojans to the 2005 NCAA Men’s Water Polo Championship and was named 2005 National Coach of the Year. His 2006 Women of Troy raced undefeated through the regular season and finished second in the NCAA Tournament, falling in the last second to UCLA in a 9-8 decision that left the Trojans with a 27-3 overall record. For the first time in school history, Vavic saw two of his players earn collegiate water polo’s highest honor, as Juraj Zatovic and Lauren Wenger made it a Trojan sweep of the Peter J. Cutino Award for the 2005 men’s and 2006 women’s seasons. Vavic brings a 277-98 (.739) all-time record on the women’s side into the 2007 season — his 13th as the women’s head coach. Since 1999 when the program was fully funded, Vavic’s record is 207-31 (.870) with an even more impressive 159-20 (.888) record in his last six seasons. Vavic pulled a coaching double sweep when he was named 2003 National Coach of the Year and MPSF Coach of the Year for the men and 2004 National Coach of the Year and MPSF Coach of the Year for the women, and he was named 2005 MPSF and National Coach of the Year once again on the men’s side following the Trojans’ most recent NCAA title. His 2004 women’s team became the first team in NCAA Championship history to go undefeated (29-0) during the regular season. Vavic oversaw the team’s move from Division II in 1995 to Division I in 1996. He guided USC to its first-ever Division I National Collegiate Championships appearance in 1997 and a seventh-place national finish while the 1998 team took fifth nationally. The 2000 squad added another strong showing as the Trojans finished second nationally.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    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.
