NATIONAL COLLEGIATE MEN’S WATER POLO CHAMPIONSHIPS RECORDS BOOK 2014 Championship 2 History 3 Won-Lost Records In Tournament Play 8 All-Time Results 9 2014 CHAMPIONSHIP HIGHLIGHTS Marshall scores in final minute to lift UCLA to national championship: The No. 1 UCLA men’s water polo team (29-3) brought home its ninth NCAA title with a 9-8 win against six-time defending champion USC on Sunday afternoon at UCSD’s Canyonview Aquatic Center. Sophomore Gordon Marshall netted the game-winner from two meters with 34 seconds remaining to put UCLA up by a goal. The Bruins got the stop on the next possession and then ran out the clock to capture the title. The 29 wins tied UCLA’s single-season record (29-5 in 1988) as the Bruins earned their first NCAA championship since 2004. The win against the Trojans improved UCLA’s record this season against USC to 4-1, which equalled its record against the Adam Krikorian-coached squad in 2002. Junior Danny McClintick led all scorers with four goals and was named the tournament’s most ourstanding player. Joining McClintick on the NCAA’s All- Tournament First Team were sophomores Gordon Marshall and Garrett Danner. Seniors Cristiano Mirarchi and Paul Reynolds were named to the second team. Top-seeded UCLA struck first when sophomore Chancellor Ramirez scored from the front court (4:25). Senior Daniel Lenhart then set up redshirt freshman Matt Farmer for a cross-cage score to put the Bruins up 2-0 (1:13) and end the scoring in the opening stanza. James Walters scored first for the Trojans in the second quarter to cut the lead to 2-1 (5:02). But McClintick pushed the lead to 3-1 on the next possession (4:43). USC answered with a power-play goal by Mihajlo Milicevic to trim the lead to 3-2 (3:37), but senior David Culpan fired a shot bar-in that pushed it back to 4-2 (3:17). That score would hold up until halftime. Matteo Morelli opened the scoring in the third with a power play goal to cut the lead to 4-3 (6:59). McClintick then scored his second on a 6-on-5 opportunity (4:29) to push the lead to 5-3. McClintick scored his second consecutive goal to complete a hat trick and double up the Trojans at 6-3 (1:05). Nick Bell answered with an exclusion goal (0:06) to trim the lead to 6-4, but sophomore Jack Fellner had the last word with a goal from half-tank at the buzzer to end the scoring in the third with the Bruins leading 7-4. Kostas Genidounias opened the scoring in the fourth with a nice lob shot (7:45) to make it 7-5. Marc Vonderweidt converted a Trojan power play to cut the lead to 7-6 (4:29). Then Genidounias tied the game with a goal at full strength to make it 7-7 (3:32). McClintick gave the Bruins an 8-7 lead with 3:13 to go, but USC’s Vonderweidt tied it at 8-8 on the next possession (2:50). The title marks the 112th in UCLA athletics annals. 2014 RESULTS Semifinals UCLA 15, UC San Diego 6 Southern California 12, Stanford 11 (Sudden Death) Third Place Stanford 20, UC San Diego 11 Championship UCLA 9, Southern California 8 2014 Championship 2 HISTORY RESULTS Year Champion (Record) Coach Score Runner-Up Host or Site Attendance 1969 UCLA (19-0) Bob Horn 5-2 California Long Beach, Calif. — 1970 UC Irvine (27-2) Ted Newland 7-6 (3 OT) UCLA Long Beach, Calif. — 1971 UCLA (18-1) Bob Horn 5-3 San Jose St. Long Beach, Calif. — 1972 UCLA (19-1) Bob Horn 10-5 UC Irvine New Mexico — 1973 California (25-1) Pete Cutino 8-4 UC Irvine Long Beach, Calif. — 1974 California (25-2) Pete Cutino 7-6 UC Irvine Long Beach, Calif. — 1975 California (22-6) Pete Cutino 9-8 UC Irvine Long Beach, Calif. 3,326 1976 Stanford (20-2) Art Lambert 13-12 UCLA Long Beach, Calif. 3,050 1977 California (29-3) Pete Cutino 8-6 UC Irvine Brown 765 1978 Stanford (26-1-1) Dante Dettamanti 7-6 (3 OT) California Long Beach, Calif. 2,541 1979 UC Santa Barbara (27-2-1) Pete Snyder 11-3 UCLA Long Beach, Calif. 2,542 1980 Stanford (28-2-1) Dante Dettamanti 8-6 California Long Beach, Calif. 2,401 1981 Stanford (31-0) Dante Dettamanti 17-6 Long Beach St. Long Beach, Calif. 2,579 1982 UC Irvine (30-0) Ted Newland 7-4 Stanford Long Beach, Calif. 2,128 1983 California (29-3-2) Pete Cutino 10-7 Southern California Long Beach, Calif. 2,697 1984 California (26-4-1) Pete Cutino 9-8 Stanford Long Beach, Calif. 3,214 1985 Stanford (25-4) Dante Dettamanti 12-11 (2 OT) UC Irvine Long Beach, Calif. 3,410 1986 Stanford (36-0) Dante Dettamanti 9-6 California Long Beach, Calif. 3,491 1987 California (27-3) Pete Cutino 9-8 (OT) Southern California Long Beach, Calif. 4,398 1988 California (33-3) Pete Cutino 14-11 UCLA Long Beach, Calif. 5,073 1989 UC Irvine (27-6) Ted Newland 9-8 California Indianapolis 3,421 1990 California (29-1) Steve Heaston 8-7 Stanford Long Beach, Calif. 3,185 1991 California (26-1) Steve Heaston 7-6 UCLA Long Beach, Calif. 3,502 1992 California (31-0) Steve Heaston 12-11 (3 OT) Stanford Long Beach, Calif. 3,517 1993 Stanford (24-6) Dante Dettamanti 11-9 Southern California Long Beach, Calif. 3,165 1994 Stanford (27-1) Dante Dettamanti 14-10 Southern California Long Beach, Calif. 3,608 1995 UCLA (20-6) Guy Baker 10-8 California Stanford 1,903 1996 UCLA (24-6) Guy Baker 8-7 Southern California UC San Diego 2,790 1997 Pepperdine (25-3) Terry Schroeder 8-7 (2 OT) Southern California Fort Lauderdale, Fla. 927 1998 Southern California (25-3) John Williams/Jovan Vavic 9-8 (2 OT) Stanford Newport Beach, Calif. 3,132 1999 UCLA (22-3) Guy Baker/Adam Krikorian 6-5 Stanford La Jolla, Calif. 4,441 2000 UCLA (19-7) Guy Baker/Adam Krikorian 11-2 UC San Diego Malibu, Calif. 3,049 2001 Stanford (22-1) Dante Dettamanti 8-5 UCLA Stanford 4,503 2002 Stanford (24-5) John Vargas 7-6 California Loyola Marymount 4,767 2003 Southern California (24-3) Jovan Vavic 9-7 (OT) Stanford Stanford 4,280 2004 UCLA (25-3) Adam Krikorian 10-9 (OT) Stanford Stanford 3,044 2005 Southern California (26-1) Jovan Vavic 3-2 Stanford Bucknell 1,656 2006 California (31-4) Kirk Everist 7-6 Southern California Loyola Marymount 4,552 2007 California (28-4) Kirk Everist 8-6 Southern California Stanford 4,369 2008 Southern California (29-0) Jovan Vavic 7-5 Stanford Stanford 2,660 2009 Southern California (26-2) Jovan Vavic 7-6 UCLA Princeton 1,822 2010 Southern California (28-2) Jovan Vavic 12-10 (2 OT) California California 2,135 2011 Southern California (24-3) Jovan Vavic 7-4 UCLA California 2,184 2012 Southern California (29-0) Jovan Vavic 11-10 UCLA Southern California 2,520 2013 Southern California (28-4) Jovan Vavic 12-11 (2 OT) Pacific Stanford 2,212 2014 UCLA (29-3) Adam Wright 9-8 Southern California UCSD Note: From 1969 through 1994, the championship was composed of eight teams.
