SPIEKER AQUATICS CENTER
entering its third season as UCLA’s home . . .
SPIEKER AQUATICS CENTER The UCLA men’s water polo team begins its third season playing at Spieker Aquatics Center in the fall of 2011. Over the past two seasons, UCLA has logged a 17-3 record at its new, state-of-the-art home facility. Spieker Aquatics Center opened in September 2009, in time for the start of the men’s water polo season that fall. PCL Construction broke ground on the facility in July 2008. The athletics department officially opened Spieker Aquatics Center on Sept. 26, 2009, as the men’s water polo team defeated UC Irvine, 10-4, after a dedication ceremony that evening. In 2011, UCLA is slated to play at least six regularseason matches in addition to hosting the MPSF Tournament at Spieker Aquatics Center. Last fall, UCLA hosted the two-day, 16-team SoCal Tournament, using Dirks Pool at Spieker Aquatics Center and the pool at Sunset Canyon Recreation Center. The Bruins’ women’s water polo program hosted the MPSF Tournament in May 2009, taking advantage of the home setting to win the title at the three-day event. Entering its third full season as UCLA’s home pool, Spieker Aquatics Center features a 52-meter by 25-yard all-deep water pool with a dividing bulkhead, allowing races to take place at varying distances (meters, versus yards).
The pool also has four platforms on a diving tower, at heights of three, five seven and one half, and 10-meter platforms, as well as one and three-meter springboards. In addition, the aquatics center features a warming pool for divers directly behind the tower.
Separate men’s and women’s locker rooms house enough lockers for all team members, with shower space and bathroom stalls and sinks for each team. Equipment needed for meets and matches have storage capacity on the facility’s south side.
Adjacent to Sunset Canyon Recreation Center on the northwest portion of campus, the Spieker Aquatics Center was made possible thanks to a generous lead gift from former student-athlete Tod Spieker and his wife, Catherine. Tod, a 1971 UCLA graduate and All-American, swam for the Bruins from 1968-71 and still competes successfully in Master’s Swimming.
When walking through the public entryway to the center, visitors first notice the Donor Wall. All donors who generously made gifts to the Spieker Aquatics Center are recognized on this wall. Additionally, over 50 former UCLA water polo players, swimmers and divers made gifts to “name” a locker. Those names will forever be part of the locker rooms in the new facility.
The main pool, Dirks Pool, is named after Carolyn Dirks, who provided the lead gift for the swimming pool. Dirks Pool has also been used for special use events and Masters Swim meets. The signature feature of the Spieker Aquatics Center is the diving tower, which sits at the west end of the pool. The east end of the pool houses the new scoreboard, an LED, state-of-the-art piece of electronics, making scores, statistics and messages easily visible to all in attendance.
The state-of-the-art facility brings together all three of UCLA’s intercollegiate aquatic sports – water polo, swimming and diving – to one venue. The aquatics center features event lighting and permanent seating with the possibility of additional temporary seating for larger events.
Next to the scoreboard is the “Wall of Champions”, showcasing all of UCLA’s water polo, swimming and diving national championship teams, and individual studentathletes’ achievements, record-holders and Olympians.

SEASON OUTLOOK
12 Questions with UCLA Head Coach Adam Wright Bruins open 2011 season ranked No. 3 in Adam Wright’s third season as UCLA’s head coach
Q: In your third season as UCLA’s head coach, how have the last two seasons helped you grow as a head coach and prepare for this season? A: I feel like that first year, I was really trying to play catch-up on the college game. I was gone from the U.S. for a significant period of time and had not seen college water polo for a while. Just the basics of knowing players who we were going to be playing against and of what teams do, I had a lot of stuff to catch up on, and a lot of work went into that. To have been around it for two years now, that has given me the ability not only to know players from other teams, but also to get to know other team’s tendencies and opposing player’s tendencies. As far as preparation for games, it makes it a little easier when you know a team’s tendencies and what they are looking to do. As far as our team, it takes time to know your own kids. It takes time to know what kind of group evolves. We’ve had two years of really hard training. We have an excellent group. It takes time to create a culture. It takes time to implement things that you want to do. We have a good base. After a couple years of doing this, we’ve established a solid foundation where we can begin to do some different things. The most important thing is to have a foundation, before you can start going out there and going outside of that to try new things. We have everybody on the same page. We have new players, of course, and you have to add them in. The group has a really good understanding of the basic things we’re trying to do.
Q: What are the greatest reasons you believe this team can compete for an NCAA championship? A: It’s our hope every year to have the belief that you can play for an NCAA title. The last two seasons have been a growing process. Two years ago, we lost in the NCAA finals by one goal with an inexperienced team. We did have some seniors on that team, but those seniors had never really been to something like that. We had a lot of young underclassmen on that team. We won the conference tournament that year, and those younger players got a lot of good experience. Nothing can replicate playing in championship-level games. Last season, everybody was disappointed. Certainly, the hopes go up when you have a result like we did in 2009, getting to that championship game. But last year we did do some good things, and we hit some good markers. We played in a couple of tournament finals last year, which are excellent for the group but also for the younger kids who are trying to make the transition to the college game. A lot of these guys have at least two years under their belt in high-level games, matches we have not been able to close. That’s what we have been working on hard for the last seven or eight months, in making that next little step to get over the hump and really win those final games. We have been able to get to the final, but not really close it out. The most important thing is that this group believes they can get it done. It’s not easy. A lot of things go into it – luck goes into it. But,

they’ve grown a lot, matured a lot, and put in a lot of work. We’ve also brought in a few new pieces that we’ve needed. I really believe that it’s going to complement the group that’s already here. We still have a lot of work to do. We’re still the underdog. We’re chasing USC and Cal. But I think that this group is very motivated and excited to begin the season and play those teams.
ton of experience last year, and we look for him to also help fill that hole. There’s also Brett Hays, who can play both ways, as can Lucas Reynolds. We have Josh Samuels who is a guard with the U.S. Junior National Team, and Cristiano Mirarchi who has been a guard with the Italian Junior National Team. We may have to mix guys around, but for the most part, we’ll have a pretty solid core of guards.
Q: Who do you expect to step up as this season’s most dynamic scoring threats?
Q: How do you replace the losses of Jacob Murphy at center and Emilio Vieira on defense?
A: You need to have a balanced scoring attack. On every team there is going to be that guy who can put the team on his shoulders when you’re not having a great day and help the team get to a victory, or for the team to at least be in the game. We have a wide variety of players here, and I really believe we have a lot of good shooters. You’re going to see a more mature Josh Samuels this year trying to take initiative instead of waiting. That comes with experience, and I really believe that. Cullen Hennessy is a guy who will be a fifth-year senior, but always, since I’ve been here, he has found a way to come up with goals. Whether it’s off movement, counter attacks, 6-on-5s, he always manages to get good goals. Griffin White is another one who we expect a lot from. His freshman year, he really heated up down the stretch and into the conference tournament, coming up with some huge goals. I really believe he’s been inserting himself in the game the right way. He’s going to find the back of the net a lot.

Cristiano Mirarchi was a freshman last season, and it takes time for foreign kids to understand that the game is different over here. He had an excellent offseason. He’s an excellent shooter. Two of our returning centers should help, with Brett Hays and Aimone Barabino. Aimone can also play outside. Paul Reynolds, a true freshman coming in from Foothill High School, is extremely fast. I think he will find a lot of goals on the counter-attack. The list goes on and on. But it would be my hope that in those crucial moments, when maybe we are having a hard time scoring the ball, you are going to see some of these guys step up. Q: Talk about this team’s capabilities on defense. A: This is always the first concern, the defense. We brought in Luka Bokavsek from West Valley Junior College. He’s a two-meter man, but he is going to have to defend. He has shown in training that he can do it. He’s a big body with strong legs. He will have to help fill that role, with Emilio Vieira having departed. Another guy I haven’t mentioned is Chris Wendt. Last year as a redshirt freshman, he started over half of our games as the two-meter guard. He had a
CHRIS WENDT
A: Looking at our options at two-meters, I believe that Brett Hays, a fifth-year senior, is going to have an excellent season. Since I have been here, he has put in a ton of extra work. It’s starting to pay off. He’s extremely motivated. These guys were very close to winning the NCAA Tournament two years ago and did not get what they wanted. Sophomore Aimone Barabino is another player who was adjusting to the American college game as a true freshman last year. He’s played as a two-meter man for the Italian Junior National Team. He’s another guy who should have an excellent season. Lucas Reynolds will be a redshirt sophomore. He’s a big kid, and I really believe he could become a significant contributor. He had an excellent summer, and he could be an X-factor for our team. We’re looking forward to seeing what Lucas can do. The other player who will be asked to play guard, as well as two-meters at some point, will be Luka Bokavsek. Of course you’re always going to miss the players like Jacob and Emilio, but I’m confident that we have guys who can fill those holes. Q: Among the biggest losses from last season’s squad was four-year veteran and left-hander Ben Hohl. What’s the advantage of having a left-handed scoring threat in water polo, and which players might be able to follow in Ben’s footsteps? A: It’s always nice to have a talented lefty. Ben brought so many things to our team that people didn’t even see. For example, on our 6-on-5s, we were able to run certain plays because teams were forced to knock him down. So having a left-hander like Ben was a definite luxury. This year, we do have a couple other lefthanders. A guy who you will hear of a lot from, not just this year but also down the road, is Daniel Lenhart. He’s one of the most athletic players who I’ve seen in a long time. Another lefty who we will see is redshirt freshman Christopher Meinhold. Alex Fortis is a true freshman, a left-hander from Loyola High School, who is an excellent shooter. But, when Ben wasn’t in the game last season, we had to play with a righty at that position.
SEASON OUTLOOK There are a lot of guys who can play at that position, and aren’t necessarily left-handed. Alex Wherry, who has been playing with the U.S. Junior National Team, can play over there. Having that lefty there is good, but I think our righties can do a good job at that position.
2011 Preseason Top-20 Poll
Q: What do you enjoy most about Cullen Hennessy’s game? A: Cullen is a guy who not only does things well physically, but he can also communicate. He gets it done when training. He’s the hardest working guy who will always go for it 100 percent. He may not be the biggest or most talented guy, but that hard work has paid off. In my first year as head coach, he scored a goal at the last second in the NorCal Tournament semifinal against USC. He always finds a way, and that’s due to his fantastic work ethic. He’s our captain, and I believe that he will be a great leader for this team. I know that he is not satisfied, and it has really hurt him the last several years to come up short. But he’s going to have this group motivated. He will be super motivated both in the water and out of the water. I really believe that he’s the right person to lead this group. Q: What’s the goalkeeper situation? A: James Hartshorne was our goalie last year, and right now, we’ve got four good goalies. Right now, James is ahead. He’s the returning starter. He’s been excellent in his preseason preparation and has been working very hard. But, we’re really waiting to see one of them just grab the reins and really take it. We go through after each practice and talk about how each one of them did. One of them is a better passer. Another is better at communicating. One is better at blocking skips. The competition is very close. The door is open. The nice thing is that we do have guys with experience. James got a ton of experience last season, having to jump in during the middle of the season. But you also look at Andrew Mesesan, a guy who is returning for his fifth year to be a part of this. He got a lot of experience, too, last season. The question with Matt Rapacz, we’ll see. He’s coming off an injury. Knock on wood, but he’s been good so far. Again, it’s open. And Stephen White is a redshirt freshman who has shown excellent poise in there. They all played equal amounts over the summer. This will be the most difficult decision going forward. Q: How impressed were you with James Hartshorne’s performance as a true freshman in 2010, and is there any chance you may redshirt him in 2011? A: Well, he was in the top three at the end of last season in the MPSF in goals against average. There were certain points, late in the year, where he was the top guy. You’re talking about a true freshman who didn’t think he was going to play, and then all of a sudden, you’ve got an injury and he waited until we got back from

The nice luxury that we do have, and we talked about it last year when I decided to bring him out of his redshirt, is that he always has the opportunity to use a redshirt. If something was to come up, we do have that luxury.
Q: How deep a conference is the MPSF in 2011? A: Since I played at UCLA, it’s probably one of the deepest fields I’ve seen. Now, you’ve got USC and Cal and Stanford at the top. But Pacific has become a serious player. James [Graham] up there has done a great job. They’ve got a fantastic two-meter player and great outside shooters. They shouldn’t be a surprise to anybody. They’re a legitimate team.
On the flip side, we have a kid who now has one year of experience under his belt, too. He’s in a good situation. I really believe that he helped us tremendously last year, and we were in a situation that was difficult. Andrew Mesesan did great, too. We decided to go with James, and he gave us a great chance at the end of the day.
Long Beach State will be much better this year. They’ve got a couple years under their belt with guys who they started playing with as true freshmen. We’ve got a tough game going down there on a Thursday night. They will be a team that competes to get in the conference tournament. Pepperdine is always tough. They’ve added a couple quality players, and have always been a dangerous team. UC Santa Barbara had an excellent recruiting class, and they will be playing with some younger guys. It’s an open field. I think that USC and Cal are ahead of everybody else, but with Stanford and our team and Pacific, it’s very stiff competition. There will be some interesting results. Many of these teams are getting a lot better.
Q: What strengths do Daniel Leyson and Steve Gill bring to the coaching staff? A: I really believe, hands-down, that I have the best assistant in the country with Daniel Leyson. I feel like we are lucky to have him. Not only his knowledge of the game, but also the way in which he looks at things – whether it’s coming up with certain drills to simulate action in a game, but also his ability to relate to our players in a different form from the head coach. A lot of the time, they’re hearing things from the head coach in a strong manner. For an assistant coach to be able to bring that all together in a way they can really grasp, it is special.
Q: The MPSF Tournament will be hosted on UCLA’s campus for the first time ever. How excited are you and your players to compete in the tournament at home?
Kids here immediately had a great deal of respect for him, just looking at his résumé alone – looking at what he has done as a player and who he has coached with. One of the biggest things for me is his knowledge of the age-group kids, and the kids that he believes will help UCLA. Lastly, his work with the goalies has been fantastic. He was doing the same thing for the Olympic team. His drills are very innovative, and I really believe that they wanted him to be the U.S. National Team’s goalie coach again. Fortunately, he decided to come here. As far as goalkeepers go, not only do we have the best goalkeeper coach in the country, but also somebody with a great deal of knowledge of the game, aside from goalkeeping.
A: I really wanted to have it here, and I’m glad and grateful that UCLA was willing to host
With Steve Gill, he’s been working with our club team over the summer for three years. Last year was his first season working with our team as a volunteer coach in the fall. He played in Europe for a long period of time. He played for the best club team in Jug Dubrovnik [Croatia] for one year. He played with the U.S. National Team for a long time, but the one thing we’re fortunate to have with Steve is that he’s a two-meter man. Not many teams have a guy who is still in pretty good shape and is passionate about his position. He can come in a couple times each week and work with our centers one-on-one, not in a group atmosphere. It’s great individual work in the water, and that’s

this year’s tournament. We’ve received great feedback on our new facility, especially after having hosted the SoCal Tournament last October. It needed to be in southern California this year, and other schools have asked me if UCLA would host it. First and foremost, it’s a fantastic opportunity for us to showcase our new pool. That’s always a plus, especially when you’ve got kids who might be looking to attend our school. It’s great to be able to show what UCLA has to offer. From a water polo standpoint, I think everybody would like to play at home. To be able to play where you always practice, hopefully in front of a proUCLA crowd, is an opportunity that you don’t get to have very often. The MPSF Tournament gives you a chance to go to the NCAA Tournament. Every little advantage helps. I really believe that being able to play at home in a surrounding that you’re used to, and having some sort of home court advantage whether that’s the crowd or what not, it puts your team in a better position. As soon as I found out that we were hosting, I let our team know. And our players are very excited to play in this tournament at home. I really believe that it’s going to be a great tournament. It will be an excellent three days of water polo. We’re going to put on a great tournament. In and out of the water, it’s a major positive for the men’s water polo program here at UCLA.

WRIGHT HEAD COACH • 3rd Year Alma Mater: UCLA ’01 Adam Wright begins his third season as UCLA’s head men’s water polo coach in 2011. A former standout in the pool at UCLA and on the U.S. Olympic Team, Wright helped lead the Bruins to the championship game of the 2009 NCAA Tournament in his first season as the program’s head coach. Wright was named the fourth head coach in program history on June 3, 2009. In two seasons as UCLA’s head coach, Wright has led the Bruins to a 42-13 record, including an 11-5 mark in conference action. In 2009, UCLA won the MPSF Tournament title and advanced to the title match of the NCAA Tournament. In 2010, the Bruins finished in a tie for second place in the MPSF regular-season standings and posted a fourth-place finish at the MPSF Tournament. Under Wright’s guidance, Ben Hohl has twice secured ACWPC All-America (2009, 2010). In 2009, Scott Davidson became the first UCLA men’s water polo player to secure MPSF Player of the Year honors since 2000 (Sean Kern). Davidson and Hohl finished their careers ranking fifth and seventh, respectively, on the Bruins’ all-time goals scored list. In addition, goalkeeper Chay Lapin became UCLA’s alltime saves leader in 2009, totaling 719 stops in four seasons. UCLA’s path to the NCAA Tournament in Wright’s first season as head coach came as a result of hard work, discipline and a strong finish at the MPSF Tournament, culminating in the Bruins’ first conference tournament title since 2000. After opening MPSF play with consecutive losses in October, Wright knew that the Bruins would have to win the MPSF Tournament to have any chance at playing for a national title. He adjusted the team’s practice and conditioning regimen, preparing the Bruins for the three-day tournament setting. After finishing fourth in the MPSF regular-season standings, UCLA surged in the conference tournament. The Bruins opened with an 8-5 win over No. 5-seed Pepperdine and downed No. 1-seed and tournament host USC, 10-6, the following day. UCLA claimed the tournament title with a 10-7 win over No. 3-seed California, which was fresh off an upset of No. 2-seed Stanford. Prior to his tenure as head coach, Wright was a four-year letterwinner at UCLA from 1997-2000, helping lead the Bruins to back-to-back NCAA titles in 1999 and 2000. Following his collegiate career, he served as a key member on the U.S. National Team, participating in the 2004 and 2008 Olympic Games.

2010 IN REVIEW UCLA finished the 2010 season tied for second place in the MPSF standings before posting a fourth-place finish at the conference tournament. Along the way, the Bruins advanced to the championship game in the NorCal and SoCal Tournaments, compiling a 19-6 overall record by the end of the season. Featuring a nucleus of talented underclassmen, UCLA looked toward a pair of senior leaders in Ben Hohl and Jacob Murphy to lead the way. Hohl led the team in scoring with 42 goals, while Murphy finished fourth with 25 goals. True freshman Cristiano Mirarchi, hailing from Rome, Italy, made an immediate splash for UCLA. He scored 35 goals, second most on the team, and impressed with a five-goal effort in a 10-9 win over Stanford at the NorCal Tournament.
The Bruins also received strong performances from true sophomores Josh Samuels (27 goals) and Griffin White (23 goals). True freshman Aimone Barabino, arriving at UCLA from Recco, Italy, contributed at the center position, scoring 10 goals and logging 22 earned exclusions. Hohl and Murphy each earned ACWPC All-America acclaim, while Mirarchi and Samuels secured honorable mention accolades. Among the top student-athletes in the history of UCLA’s men’s water polo program, Hohl was a three-time ACWPC All-Academic Team selection and MPSF All-Academic Team honoree. In his second year as head coach, Adam Wright helped UCLA navigate a tough schedule in one of the most deep MPSF fields in recent memory. The Bruins advanced to the title match of the NorCal and SoCal Tournaments, falling to crosstown foe USC in each championship game. Additionally, the Bruins faced a difficult situation at the goalkeeper position. With injuries to veterans Matt Rapacz (sophomore) and Andrew Mesesan (junior), UCLA called upon true freshman James Hartshorne to shoulder the load in the team’s seventh game of the season. Hartshorne was up for the challenge, limiting Princeton to two goals in his debut (day one of SoCal Tournament). The next day, Hartshorne logged a season-best 16 saves in UCLA’s 8-6 win over UC Irvine, propelling the Bruins to a SoCal Tournament title game showdown against USC. Despite losing to the Trojans, 9-8, UCLA tied the contest in the final two minutes before USC scored the gamewinning goal with 35 seconds to play. Hartshorne posted 10 saves in a valiant effort in just his second collegiate game, becoming just the first UCLA goalkeeper to play as a true freshman since 1999 (Brandon Brooks). For the first time in school history, UCLA hosted the SoCal Tournament. UCLA used the pool at Sunset Canyon Recreation Center and Dirks Pool at Spieker Aquatics Center to host 16 teams and 32 games in two days.

After dropping consecutive games to USC (Oct. 3) and California (Oct. 9), the Bruins got their season back on track with critical MPSF wins against Pacific (Oct. 10) and at home under the lights versus Stanford (Oct. 15). In UCLA’s win against Stanford, Hohl stepped up with three goals and Hartshorne came through with several crucial stops in the final minute to seal a 9-8 win. After collecting consecutive MPSF wins over UC Irvine (Oct. 17) and Long Beach State (Oct. 31), pushing their MPSF record to 4-1, the Bruins absorbed an 8-5 loss at USC (Nov. 6). Nevertheless, UCLA perservered by winning its final two MPSF contests to log a 6-2 regular-season conference record, its best finish in MPSF play since going 6-2 in 2006. At the MPSF Tournament, UCLA used a 7-5 win over Pacific set up a semifinal showdown against USC. The Trojans opened a 7-1 halftime lead against UCLA and held on for a 10-5 victory, sending the Bruins toward the tournament’s third-place match. Against California, UCLA overcame an early 4-1 deficit, tying the game 7-7 after three quarters, before losing 10-9 in regualtion.

MOUNTAIN PACIFIC SPORTS FEDERATION The Mountain Pacific Sports Federation (MPSF) was established during the 1992-1993 season to serve the competitive needs of member institutions from the Big West, Pacific-10 and Western Athletic Conferences, as well as other selected universities in the western United States; and to provide championships competition for Division I intercollegiate Olympic sports in a conference setting. The founding principles on which the MPSF was originally formed were to provide enhanced competition and championship opportunities for sports without conference affiliation; to contain the costs of competition; and to ensure the survival of sports impacted by Title IX and other fiscal pressures. The Federation has also served as an incubator for emerging women’s sports and as a safe harbor for sports impacted by conference realignments. Since its inaugural season the Federation has seen its primary conference membership grow by the addition of the Mountain West and West Coast Conferences and their respective member institutions, as well as the addition of women’s water polo, women’s gymnastics, women’s lacrosse and men’s and women’s swimming. As a testament to its viability, the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation continues to successfully navigate the ever-changing sea of college sports by fostering contraction and expansion of its sports portfolio to meet the dynamic needs of its members. As the MPSF begins its 20th season in 2011-2012 and continues its legacy of championship competition, it affirms the vision of its founders and the relevance of its three founding principles, particularly during today’s tumultuous economic times. In 2011-2012, the MPSF will sponsor competition in 11 intercollegiate Olympic sports, adding men’s and women’s swimming for the first time, while serving approximately 1,800 student-athletes on 98 teams from 39 universities in 13 western states. All MPSF teams compete at the NCAA Division I level in men’s soccer, men’s and women’s water polo, men’s and women’s indoor track and field, men’s and women’s gymnastics, men’s and women’s swimming, women’s lacrosse and men’s volleyball. MPSF champions are eligible to compete
in NCAA Championships with MPSF men’s soccer, men’s and women’s water polo, and men’s volleyball champions earning automatic qualification into NCAA championship events. Joining the Federation for the first-time in men’s swimming are the University of North Dakota and the University of Wyoming. During the 2010-2011 season, MPSF teams again won four NCAA team championship titles, bringing the Federation’s total to 66 since the first season of competition in 1992-93. Stanford led the MPSF winning three conference championships in men’s gymnastics, men’s indoor track and field and women’s lacrosse and following with NCAA championships in men’s gymnastics and women’s water polo. UC Davis took Federation championships in the inaugural MPSF women’s swimming and diving championships and its second-consecutive title in women’s gymnastics. USC took the team title in men’s water polo with Sacramento State scoring its second-consecutive Federation title in men’s soccer. Oregon won both the MPSF and NCAA women’s indoor track and field championships for the second straight season, while Cal State Bakersfield won the inaugural men’s swimming and diving championships. Two teams won their first-ever MPSF championships as California won in women’s water polo and UC Santa Barbara broke through in men’s volleyball. Al Beaird has been the Federation’s only executive director, taking the reins after being selected by the MPSF Administrative Committee in December 1997 after a national search. Beaird’s position was established as a result of the Federation’s continued growth and emerging tradition of NCAA and national championship caliber play, including 47 NCAA team championships during his tenure. Beaird, who formerly served on the athletics staff at his alma mater, UC Davis, where the integration of student and athlete is a longrooted philosophy, oversees the administration of all Federation sports, having worked closely with administrators and coaches from more than 50 different universities over the course of
his administration. Beaird presided over the transition of the Federation from what was initially a scheduling alliance to what is now nationally recognized as the most successful NCAA Division I Olympic sports conference. Beaird directs all aspects of MPSF competition, including championships, officiating, rules compliance, scheduling, media relations, broadcasting, sponsorships and NCAA relations, while also shaping conference legislation, facilitating annual meetings and providing direction and communication for the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Administrative and Executive Committees. In 2004, Beaird completed a four-year term, three years as chair, on the NCAA Men’s Water Polo Championships Committee and one year as chair of the inaugural NCAA Men’s and Women’s Water Polo Rules Committee. Beaird feels privileged to work with coaches and student-athletes who compete at the highest levels, including those who compete on USA national teams as coaches or players in international and Olympic competition. With his in NCAA Olympic sports, Beaird has been called upon to serve as liaison to the national governing bodies for amateur athletics in the United States and the United States Olympic Committee. Beaird received his undergraduate degree in physical education from UC Davis before attaining his Masters of Business Administration from California State University, Sacramento. Beaird, who lives in Woodland, California, has two daughters who have been active in high school and club sports.

GAME-BY-GAME RESULTS 1962 (9-5)
UCLA’S FORMER HEAD COACHES Bob Horn Bob Horn served as UCLA’s head men’s water polo coach for 28 seasons before retiring at the conclusion of the 1990 campaign. That fall, he led the Bruins to a third-place NCAA finish and 24-8 record. In a prolific career that spanned four decades, Horn guided UCLA to three NCAA championships, four runner-up awards and seven third-place finishes. The Bruins secured 13 league titles under Horn, and his 1988 squad captured the Club National Championship, marking the first time a team comprised entirely of collegians won the Club National Title. Horn tutored 36 first-team All-America selections and nine Olympians. He guided UCLA to 50 consecutive victories over five years, coaching four undefeated squads. He retired with an overall record of 487-188-8 and a 102-62 mark in league play. Selected as the 1965 water polo “Coach of the Year”, Horn also doubled as UCLA’s swimming coach from 1963-74. In 1976, he was inducted into the U.S. Water Polo Hall of Fame.
Guy Baker Guy Baker led the UCLA men’s and women’s water polo programs to seven national titles in a 10-year span. He left the water polo programs in January 2001 to become head coach of the U.S. Women's Water Polo National Team, a position he held through the spring of 2009. Baker established UCLA as the dominant men's program of the 1990s with four men's NCAA championships (1995, 1996, 1999, 2000) and three national collegiate women’s titles (1996, 1997, 1998). He earned National Coach of the Year honors four times (1995-96 men, 1997-98 women) and coached the Women’s National Team at the 2004 and 2008 Olympics. Baker led the 2006-07 Women's National Team to gold medals at the 2007 World Championships, the 2007 World League Super Final and the 2007 Pan-American Games, where the team secured its qualifying spot for the 2008 Olympic games. Baker’s combined record at UCLA was 265-97 overall and 64-28 in league games. Three of his athletes were each named National Player of the Year twice – Coralie Simmons, Sean Kern, and Matt Swanson. In all, Bruin athletes secured All-America honors 52 times and eight players competed in the Olympics under Baker.

DR. JAMES PUFFER LOYALTY AND CONTRIBUTION AWARD Dr. James Puffer was a three-year water polo letterwinner (1969-71) and member of two national championship teams (1969, 1971) at UCLA. He earned his doctorate degree from UCLA Medical School in 1976, attaining a family practice residency at UCLA Medical Center upon his graduation. He was named Chief of the Division of Family Medicine in 1983 and helped to make the discipline a department in 1997, of which he chaired until 1998. An instrumental figure within the UCLA Athletic Department, Dr. Puffer served as a team physician and Chief of Sports Medicine until his departure in 2001. He was an Olympic team physician during the 1988 Olympics in Seoul, Korea. In 1991, Dr. Puffer was instrumental in raising funds to endow the men’s water polo program when its existence was at risk. He served as a mentor to UCLA student-athletes and coaches alike. In December of 2001, Dr. Puffer left UCLA to assume the position of Executive Director of the American Board of Family Practice in Lexington, Kentucky. Puffer said at the time that he could not pass up “the opportunity to provide effective and dynamic leadership to my discipline.” In his honor of leadership and devotion to UCLA, the Dr. James Puffer Loyalty and Contribution Award was established in 2001.

JACK BARITEAU MOST INSPIRATIONAL AWARD Jack Bariteau was a three-year water polo letterwinner (1968-70) for the Bruins, helping guide UCLA to its first-ever NCAA championship in men’s water polo in 1969. Bariteau played for the Bruins under long-time head coach Bob Horn. Since his days as a student at UCLA, he has been a tremendous benefactor to the men’s water polo program. Bariteau, along with a group of other former men’s water polo players, helped launch a campaign in the early 1990s to preserve the men’s water polo program at UCLA as an NCAA sport. Bariteau’s name now graces the team’s “Most Inspirational Award”, in honor of his service to UCLA and committment to the men’s water polo program as an alumnus.

GUERRERO ATHLETIC DIRECTOR • 10th Year Alma Mater: UCLA ’74 In nine years as UCLA’s Director of Athletics, Daniel G. Guerrero has boldly placed his imprint on the school’s highly-successful athletic program. Guerrero, one of the most respected and talented administrators in intercollegiate athletics, has placed his mark on the program as the director of athletics at UCLA. He is the current president of the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) and a member of the NACDA Executive Committee. He served as president of the Division I Athletic Directors Association in 2010-11. In June of 2007, he was named NACDA Division I West Region Athletic Director of the Year.
In his nine eight years, Guerrero has clearly established a pattern of “image and substance” that few in his profession can match. UCLA stands as the No. 1 University in the nation for NCAA team championships (107) won, a number that continues to grow under his direction. In those nine years, UCLA teams have won 21 NCAA team titles (the highest total in the nation in that span) in 11 different sports, finished second 17 times and have had an additional 32 Top Five finishes. A staggering 172 teams (of 207 possible) have qualified for NCAA postseason competition and the football team has appeared in seven bowl games. The program has also won 46 conference championships in 15 different sports, produced over 460 All-Americans and featured four Honda Award winners, including the 2003-04 Collegiate Woman Athlete of the Year. Guerrero came to UCLA in 2002 from UC Irvine, where he had served as UCI’s fifth Director of Athletics for 10 years. Prior to arriving at UC Irvine, he was the Athletic Director for five years at Cal State Dominguez Hills (1988-92). He received his Bachelor’s degree from UCLA in 1974 and played second base in the Bruin baseball program for four years. Born on November 10, 1951 in Tucson, AZ, he is married to the former Anne Marie Aniello and they have two daughters: Jenna and Katie.
In June of 2010, Guerrero complete a five-year term on the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Committee. As the Chair in 2009-10, he served on the NCAA Advisory Committee that resulted in the $10.8 million, 14-year NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament television package with CBS and Turner Sports, as well as the decision to create the “First Four” and the expansion of the Tournament to 68 teams. Weiner is responsible for major capital improvements for Athletics. Project include the renovated J.D. Morgan Intercollegiate Athletics Center and Acosta Student Athlete Training Center and Knapp Football Center, the new Hall of Fame, the Jackie Robinson baseball and Easton softball clubhouse construction and stadium renovations, the Drake Track/Marshall Field renovation, a new golf practice facility, Pauley Pavilion interior upgrades and the North soccer field construction.

All UCLA head coaches stress involvement with the campus and the community. Whether it’s volunteering at an inner-city youth clinic, speaking to children at elementary and middle schools in the area, or assisting in campus programs such as ‘Marathon Kids’ and ‘I’m Going to College,’ community service is an important aspect of being a Bruin. These outreach opportunities give student-athletes a chance to mentor youth, give back to the community and serve as ambassadors for UCLA Athletics.
