SPIEKER AQUATICS CENTER

now in its third season as UCLA’s home . . .

SPIEKER AQUATICS CENTER The UCLA women’s water polo team begins its third season playing at Spieker Aquatics Center in the spring of 2012. Over the past two seasons, UCLA has logged a 12-3 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, 104, after a dedication ceremony that evening. In 2012, UCLA will play at least four matches at Spieker Aquatics Center. The facility hosted the 2010 MPSF Women’s Water Polo Tournament and the 2011 MPSF Men’s Water Polo Tournament. UCLA’s programs won each tournament. Entering its second 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. 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. 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. Next to the scoreboard is the “Wall of Champions”, showcasing all of UCLA’s water polo, swimming and diving national championship teams, as well as all

individual student-athletes’ achievements, record-holders and Olympians. 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. 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 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.


SEASON OUTLOOK

One-on-One with UCLA Head Coach Brandon Brooks Bruins open 2012 campaign ranked No. 3 in Brandon Brooks’ third season as head coach

Q: What makes you believe this team can be successful? A: This team is fast. Our returning starters include KK Clark, Emily Greenwood, Brooke Martin and Sarah Orozco. We definitely lost a good amount of experience with last season’s senior class, but I think that we’re bringing back some very talented players who have shown the ability to lead. We also have a lot of speed. Emily Greenwood and KK are both very fast. We’ve seen a lot of maturity out of Kelly Ronimus and Nicole Barker. Both those girls have very good speed. Q: With the loss of Grace Reynolds and Kelly Easterday, what do you expect from the two-meter position? A: The two-meter position is a major question mark for us as we enter the season. If you went off our lineups last year, the logical fit would be Becca Dorst and maybe even Sarah Orozco. Sarah was our starting center as a freshman on the 2009 championship team. We’ve done some different things with her over the years. If we need her to get in there to play at two meters, then that’s what we’ll do. We’re also looking at Gabby Juarez and Shelby Couture, and we’ll see what they can do as freshmen. Q: Who are the most dynamic, key scorers on this season’s team? A: We need people who can throw the ball hard. First off, you look at KK Clark and Brooke Martin as being legitimate threats on the offensive end, especially when you talk about shooting. We’re hoping to generate easy offense off the counter attack. That’s ideal, in which case anybody who is fast and who is out there should get some easy opportunities. When you talk about shooters from the outside, you start with KK and Brooke and you can fill that in with Hannah Sebenaler, Sarah Orozco and Kelly Ronimus, all who are good shooters from outside. Becca Dorst and Emily Greenwood have been working hard on their shot. We want to get some offense from two of our freshmen in Emily Donohoe and Erica Beebe. Q: How can this team replace the veteran presence of Kelly Easterday and Megan Burmeister on defense? A: We are going to miss the strengths of those two terrific players. Kelly and Megan meant a lot to our program the last four years. The combination of strength and toughness with those two competitors was fantastic. That is certainly a bit of a question for this year. This year’s group has great team chemistry and good team communication for where we are right now. Defensively, any team in this sport has to

BROOKE MARTIN have terrific communication. So I’m happy where we are with that right now. At the straight two-meter defense position, on the utility side, that’s where we’ll look for KK to play a major role. Emily Greenwood has played in almost every game since she has been here. We’ve seen solid improvement out of Natasha Schulman. She does a good job defending. Q: Entering your third season as UCLA’s head coach, how much more comfortable do you feel in your role now than when you began? A: I feel much more comfortable with two years under my belt. I’ve seen a lot of different situations, both on the pool deck and away from games and practices. I feel very solid in my position. Every year, I reflect a lot and try looking at a lot of situations where I may have done something differently – things that I have control of and areas where I need to make changes. Our staff, Molly and I both, are growing as coaches, and we look forward to improving at an exponential rate. We are always striving to improve. As far as in-game situations, the more you see, the more you know. Q: Talk about your expectations with this team’s goalkeepers? A: We have three goalkeepers in our program, but only Caitlin Dement and freshman Sarah Wilkey will play for us this season. We’re honored that Sami Hill has been called up to train with the U.S. National Team. I wish her the best,

but as far as we are concerned this season, she’ll redshirt for us. She really isn’t in the mix this season. We’re in great hands with both Caitlin and Sarah. Sarah comes to UCLA from a very good program and team in Newport Harbor. She’s impressed us with her attitude and work ethic. Caitlin is a two-year starter and is as good as any goalie out there. Not only is she long, athletic and explosive to the ball, but she’s got a ton of experience. That is invaluable. The difference between a sophomore to a junior and a junior to a senior is huge. She has a great demeanor and will be the anchor of our defense. Q: What makes KK Clark such a strong asset to this team? A: From a coach’s standpoint, it’s nice to know that you have somebody who can do almost anything you need them to do. If you’re looking for someone to fill a role and you need a piece that will fit a scenario, KK is very versatile. with good speed and a good shot, she’s been showing great improvement in strength and in the weight room. She can legitimately play every position in the pool. Q: Both Sarah Orozco and Gisselle Naranjo spent the offseason training with the Mexican National Team. How will those experiences help the Bruins in 2012? A: We’re very excited to have Sarah and Gisselle back. They trained with the Mexican National Team from mid-May through October. Those two worked very hard and got to experience the World University Games and Pan American Games. Sarah is the prime example of someone who has so much heart and so much self-determination. She gives it her all. She brings a ton of passion and character to our program. And Gisselle is a very intelligent player. At 5-foot5, she is every bit as good as anybody else out there. She reads situations well and is emotionally consistent. Q: What do you anticipate in the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation (MPSF) this season? A: I think that this year is a pretty big question mark. Much remains to be seen, as far as the parity of our conference. Stanford is the defending national champion, and they return a good amount of talent. Stanford would be returning an even more stellar team if not for two returners and an incoming freshman training with the U.S. National Team. I’m very curious to see what Cal will look like. The last couple years have been the best for their program. USC has some dangerous shooters and always presents a very strong challenge. Hawaii loses a terrific player in Monika Eggens and brings in a first-year head coach. ASU has a couple strong additions. San Jose State lost a lot with Adrianna Vogt but they’re a solid, competitive team. I think that San Diego State could definitely surprise some people.

COACHING STAFF brandon

BROOKS HEAD COACH • 3rd Year Alma Mater: UCLA ’05 Brandon Brooks begins his third season as UCLA’s head women’s water polo coach in 2012. He was named the third head coach in program history on June 3, 2009, and has compiled a 48-15 record in two seasons. Brooks has coached the Bruins to the MPSF Tournament championship game in 2010 and 2011, including the MPSF Tournament title in 2010. Both years, UCLA has advanced to the NCAA Tournament. In 2011, the Bruins defeated crosstown rival USC in the NCAA Tournament’s third-place match after having advanced to the national tournament for the eighth consecutive year. In 2011, Brooks guided UCLA to a 26-7 overall record, including a 4-3 mark in conference play. He helped propel the Bruins to the championship match of the MPSF Tournament after UCLA won its final four regular-season matches (including three MPSF contests). UCLA defeated USC, 12-10, in the first round of the MPSF Tournament. The next day, the Bruins handed top-ranked Stanford its first loss of the season, advancing to the tournament’s championship match. Despite losing a 7-6 decision in the title game to California, UCLA had firmly secured an at-large berth to the NCAA Tournament.

An undergraduate assistant on the men’s water polo coaching staff in 2004, Brooks helped Joe Axelrad develop into the one of the nation’s premier goalkeepers, leading UCLA to the NCAA Championship that fall.

UCLA used a balanced attack in 2011, with Priscilla Orozco (58 goals), KK Clark (50 goals) and Grace Reynolds (35 goals) leading the way. Goalkeepers Caitlin Dement and Sami Hill split time in the cage, with Dement securing second-team All-MPSF honors at the conclusion of the season.

In the summer of 2008, Brooks and former teammate Adam Wright (UCLA’s men’s water polo head coach) helped lead the USA Men’s National Team to a silver medal finish at the Olympic Games in Beijing. Brooks, Wright and former teammate Brett Ormsby competed in the 2004 Olympic Games in Sydney, Australia.

In 2010, Brooks helped UCLA post a 22-8 overall record, including a 4-3 MPSF mark. Three players earned All-MPSF Team honors, highlighted by first-team selection Priscilla Orozco. Five players captured ACWPC All-Academic acclaim and five secured MPSF All-Academic honors. Along the way, Brooks helped with the development of Dement, who set UCLA’s single-season saves record (264).

Brooks was head coach of the Los Angeles Water Polo Club’s boys 16-and-under team from 2006-08. In 2006, he coached the club team to an undefeated season, culminating in the Junior Olympic Championship. He helped develop 15 Division I men’s water polo student-athletes in his tenure as head coach. Additionally, Brooks will serve on the coaching staff of the U.S. Women’s National Team this summer, alongside Krikorian.

Brooks served as an assistant coach with the UCLA men’s and women’s water polo teams for three seasons prior to his appointment as the head coach of the women’s program (men’s assistant in 2006, 2007 and 2008; women’s assistant in 2007, 2008 and 2009). He also served as an undergraduate assistant coach with the men’s program in 2004. Brooks helped lead the women’s program to NCAA championships each spring and guided the men’s program to the 2004 NCAA title.

One of the nation’s premier goalkeepers in four seasons at UCLA, Brooks helped lead the Bruins to back-to-back NCAA titles (1999, 2000) in his first two years. He continued his stellar play in his final two seasons, earning All-America and All-MPSF honors each year. Brooks ranks second on UCLA’s all-time saves list with 700 stops in four seasons.

Brooks starred on the men’s water polo team from 1999-2002, leading the Bruins to back-to-back NCAA championships in 1999 and 2000, before excelling in the international water polo ranks and participating in the 2004 and 2008 Olympic Games for the USA Men’s National Team.

A key goalkeeper on the USA National Team, Brooks led Team USA to the gold medal at the 2001 and 2003 Pan American Games. He served as the starting goalkeeper at the 2003 FINA World Championships (Barcelona), the 2004 Olympics (Athens) and the 2005 FINA World Championships (Montreal).

In his three seasons as an assistant coach with the women’s program, Brooks’ work with goalkeepers Emily Feher (2007) and Brittany Fullen (2008, 2009) proved instrumental to UCLA’s national championship finishes. Fullen established a new single-season saves record as a junior, totaling 237 stops in 2008 (that record was later broken by Dement in 2010). The previous season, Feher recorded a 4.96 goals against average in 25 games before securing first-team All-America honors for the third consecutive season.

Brooks, 30, graduated from UCLA in 2005 with a degree in sociology. A native of Honolulu, Hawaii, Brooks is the oldest of three children and has 23-year-old twin sisters (Nicole and Jessica).

CAHILL ASSISTANT COACH • 4th Year Alma Mater: UCLA ’08 Molly Cahill enters her fourth season as an assistant coach with the UCLA women’s water polo program in 2012. A four-year UCLA women’s water polo letterwinner (200407), Cahill helped lead the Bruins to the MPSF Tournament title in 2010 after having served as an undergraduate assistant coach in 2008. Cahill has guided the Bruins to the NCAA Tournament in each of her seven years associated with the program. Likewise, she has lifted UCLA to the NCAA Championship in four of her six seasons – three as a student-athlete (2005-07) and one as undergraduate assistant coach in 2008. In 2011, Cahill worked alongside head coach Brandon Brooks for the second consecutive year. The Bruins went 26-7, finishing third at the NCAA Tournament after posting a second-place finish at the MPSF Tournament. In 2010, Cahill helped a young team, devoid of any seniors on the roster, improve over the course of the season and win the MPSF Tournament title as the conference’s fifth-seeded team. The Bruins defeated No. 4-seed Hawai’i and No. 1-seed Stanford before taking down No. 2-seed USC in the tournament’s title match at UCLA’s Spieker Aquatics Center.

Cahill’s Assistant Coaching Record

Serving as an undergraduate assistant coach in 2008, Cahill helped the Bruins win their fourth consecutive NCAA title – a streak with which she helped start during her sophomore season in 2005. UCLA posted a perfect 33-0 record that season, duplicating a feat the program had accomplished in 2005.

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.

UCLA AND TEAM USA UCLA at the Summer Olympics

UCLA’s Water Polo Olympians

Under the tutelage of former UCLA men’s and women’s head water polo coach Guy Baker, the U.S. women’s water polo team earned a silver medal at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing. Aided by former UCLA standouts Natalie Golda and Jaime Hipp, the U.S. team earned its third medal since the sport’s Olympic inception in 2000.

1920 – Antwerp Clyde A. Swendson 1936 – Berlin Clyde A. Swendson Dixon Fiske

In the gold medal match against Hungary, Team USA rallied from an early 4-0 deficit to tie the match, 5-5, before halftime. Golda scored one goal in the match, helping reduce the Americans’ deficit to 5-3. The U.S. team advanced to the gold medal match after sinking Australia, 9-8, to assure itself of finishing the Olympics with a medal.

1948 – London Dixon Fiske Eddie Knox Devere Christianson

The U.S. team won a tiebreaker against Italy to win Group A (both teams finished with 2-0-1 preliminary records). In the U.S. team’s final preliminary-round contest, Golda scored a game-high three goals to lead the Americans past Russia, 12-7.

1952 – Helsinki John A. Spargo Pete Strange Urho Saari (Coach)

The 2008 Games in Beijing marked the second Olympic appearance for Golda and the first for Hipp. Baker has served as the U.S. women’s team’s head coach in all three Olympics. In 2004, seven players and Baker represented the UCLA women’s water polo program at the Olympics in Athens, Greece. Six former and current Bruins helped lead Team USA to the bronze medal, and one former Bruin (Kelly Heuchan) competed for Australia, which finished fourth. Then-current Bruins Natalie Golda, Thalia Munro, Amber Stachowski, Kelly Rulon and Gabrielle Domanic (alternate) competed alongside Payne and Beauregard. Baker helped lead the U.S. team to its second medal in as many Olympics.

Natalie Golda led Team USA to a silver medal in 2008

Team USA captured a narrow 7-6 win over Hungary in both teams’ first match of the 2004 Olympics, as Rulon scored the game-winning goal. Rulon finished that game with two goals and Golda scored one goal. In a 6-5 loss to Canada during preliminary round play, Team USA received one goal each from Rulon and Beauregard. In the Americans’ final preliminary-round match, an 8-4 win over Russia, Beauregard scored two goals and Rulon and Stachowski each added one.

In the 2004 bronze medal contest, the U.S. team defeated host Australia by a 6-5 margin. UCLA’s athletes scored three of Team USA’s six goals in that contest – Beauregard, Golda and Stachowski each netted one goal.

Overall in the 2004 Olympics, UCLA ranked among the nation’s most successful universities. UCLA finished No. 1 among all universities in the number of different medalists (19) and the number of total Olympians (56). Current and former Bruins earned a total of 19 medals, including eight gold medals. UCLA’s athletes also claimed three silver and eight bronze medals.

Similar to 2008, the 2004 U.S. team won a tiebreaker against Russia to win its preliminary group and punch a ticket directly to the semifinals. The Americans dropped a 6-5 decision to Italy in a semifinal match before winning the bronze medal match.

The new millennium brought women’s water polo to the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney, Australia. Nearly 17,000 fans watched the gold medal match between the United States and host Australia in Sydney. In its first year as an Olympic sport, women’s water polo included six countries that each rounded up their top 11 players to compete. In a wild gold medal contest between Australia and Team USA, Australia scored a controversial last-second goal to win, 4-3, and send the U.S. team home with the silver medal. In 2000, then-current Bruins Coralie Simmons and Beauregard, former Bruin standout Nicolle Payne and Coach Baker helped lead Team USA on its quest for a gold medal. While competing at UCLA, both Simmons and Beauregard spent the year away from UCLA. Simmons led Team USA with nine goals in the Olympics, and Beauregard finished the tournament with six goals.

UCLA was the most represented university in the 2000 Olympics. In all, 58 Olympians from UCLA (current and former Bruins) competed for the United States and six foreign countries. Studentathletes from UCLA finished the summer with 18 medals – eight gold, five silver, and five bronze.

U.S. National Team Experience UCLA women’s water polo players have been well represented on the USA Junior and Senior National Teams. Both teams have had recent success in international competition. Most recently, current UCLA freshmen Emily Greenwood, Brooke Martin, Natasha Schulman and Larissa Todisco played for the 2009 USA Junior National Team. In the summer of 2007, former UCLA attacker Tanya Gandy and Team USA finished fourth at the FINA Women’s Junior World Championships in Porto, Portugal. Gandy scored 19 goals in seven games. The Senior National Team won the Holiday Cup in December 2006. Former Bruins Natalie Golda and Jamie Hipp and thencurrent Bruin Emily Feher competed in the Senior National Team event. Natalie Golda scored in every one of six games for Team USA, while Jamie Hipp contributed 21 saves. Team USA had also won the 2006 FINA World Championships in Italy. At the 2006 Pythia Cup in Greece, Gandy and current Bruin goalkeeper Brittany Fullen competed for the U.S. Junior National Team. Gandy registered eight goals and Fullen totaled 14 saves in the cage over three games, leading Team USA to the silver medal.

In December 2001, the U.S. Junior National Team captured the nation’s first ever FINA Junior World Championship in a 10-9 overtime win. Amber Stachowski led the United States with four goals and Thalia Munro added one goal. The Bruins turned in great performances at the Junior World Championships. UCLA players accounted for 48 percent of U.S. scoring with 38 of Team USA’s 80 goals. In the 2003 FINA Junior World Championships, Emily Feher, Lauren Heineck, Kristina Kunkel and Kelly Rulon all saw significant playing time for the United States. In 2004, the Junior National Team won the gold medal at the Pan-American Games. UCLA players have been key members of the Senior National Team in previous years. Each player has contributed to Team USA’s international success. At the 2003 FINA World Championships, Robin Beauregard scored the game-winning goal in Team USA’s 86 victory over Italy in the title game. The victory over Italy gave the U.S. women’s water polo team its first ever-gold medal. Following the FINA World Championships, Team USA headed to the Pan American Games in hopes of earning an Olympic Berth. The Senior National team went on to compete in the 2004 Athens Olympics, placing third.

CHAMPIONSHIP HISTORY

1996 National Champions (29-1, 7-0 MPSF), Head Coach: Guy Baker In only the second year of existence, UCLA women’s water polo captured the National Collegiate Championship, making Bruin water polo the first water polo program to win national titles in both men’s and women’s competition. Under the guidance of head coach Guy Baker, the Bruins lost only one game during the 1996 campaign, an 8-7 heartbreaker to California in the championship game of the Western Regional Qualification Tournament. But the Bruins turned the tables on the Golden Bears in the season’s final match and handed Cal an 8-4 defeat for the national title. Goals were scored by Jennifer McFerrin (3), Catharine von Schwarz (2), Megan Oesting, Coralie Simmons, and Katie Tenenbaum. Goalkeeper Nicolle Payne pulled down 15 of Cal’s shots on goal.

1997 National Champions (31-1, 6-0 MPSF), Head Coach: Guy Baker The Bruins brought home their second consecutive national championship and gave head coach Guy Baker four titles in a row (men’s 1995, women’s 1996, men’s 1996, women’s 1997). UCLA lost just one game throughout the entire season, a 4-3 heartbreaker at the hands of California in the third game of the season. The Bruins stormed through the rest of the spring, loggin a 29-game win streak. UCLA captured their second title in a row with a 6-3 victory over California. The title did not come easily, as the Bruins held on to a shaky 3-2 lead heading into the final quarter of play. But UCLA outscored Cal, 3-1, in the final seven minutes, ensuring both the national championship. Payne saved 11 attempts and earned her second consecutive Most Valuable Tournament Goalkeeper award. Goals were netted by Amanda Gall (2), Coralie Simmons (2), Serela Mansur, and Katie Tenenbaum.

1998 National Champions (35-1, 9-0 MPSF), Head Coach: Guy Baker In their fourth year of varsity status, the Bruins took home a third consecutive national title under head coach Guy Baker. UCLA lost only one game the entire season to top-ranked Cal in the first place match of the Santa Barbara Tournament. But the defeat would not go unanswered, as the Bruins would defeat the Golden Bears 7-3 in the national championship match. While Cal was held scoreless for two quarters, the Bruins came on strong, notching at least one goal every quarter. In Payne’s last match as a Bruin, the goalkeeper recorded 13 saves and was named Tournament MVP. Goals were scored by Coralie Simmons (3), Robin Beauregard, Amanda Gall, Erin Golaboski, and Catharine von Schwarz.

2000 National Champions (30-5, 8-1 MPSF), Head Coaches: Guy Baker, Adam Krikorian The 2000 season brought the Bruins back to championship status after a one-year hiatus in 1999. Sparked by the return of Catharine von Schwarz from the U.S. National Team, the Bruins finished 30-5 (8-1 MPSF) and won their fourth national championship in five years. The championship was the first under new head coach Adam Krikorian, who took over full time after the 1998 season. In the title game of the 2000 Collegiate Nationals, UCLA downed defending champion USC, 11-4. The Bruins jumped out to a 3-1 first quarter lead and never looked back. Catharine von Schwarz netted a hat trick and became the first UCLA female student-athlete to win four team championships. Elaine Zivich added a goal and was named Tournament MVP. Goals were also scored by Kelly Heuchan (2), Serela Kay, Jenny Lamb, Jessica Lopez, Eleanor Murphy and Ashley Stachowski. Goalkeeper Jaime Hipp grabbed 10 saves to secure the victory for the Bruins.

2001 NCAA Champions (18-4, 9-1 MPSF), Head Coach: Adam Krikorian The Bruins captured the inaugural NCAA women’s water polo title in 2001. Seniors Coralie Simmons and Kristin Guerin led the Bruins to their fourth title in five years. Throughout the season, UCLA dominated opponents, posting an 18-4 overall record and going 9-1 in MPSF action. The Stanford Cardinal proved to be the toughest challenge for the Bruins, handing them each of the four losses, including an 8-5 loss in the MPSF Championship game. UCLA rebounded from the loss at the MPSF Championships to defeat Loyola Marymount 11-1 in the NCAA semifinal match. In the title game, UCLA defeated Stanford 5-4. The win came off of a Coralie Simmons goal with 1:28 remaining in the game. Goals were scored by Simmons (2), Robin Beauregard, Kelly Heuchan, and Ashley Stachowski. Jaime Hipp recorded six saves. For her efforts, Simmons received MVP honors and was joined on the All-Tournament team by Beauregard, Heuchan, Hipp, Kristin Guerin, Jenny Lamb, and Elaine Zivich.

2003 NCAA Champions (23-4, 8-2 MPSF), Head Coach: Adam Krikorian The Bruins continued their championship tradition by taking the 2003 NCAA Championship. All-Americans Robin Beauregard and Jamie Hipp provided veteran leadership as head coach Adam Krikorian won his third national championship. UCLA posted an overall record of 23-4, including an 8-2 MPSF mark. Ranked No. 1 nationally entering the MPSF Tournament, the Bruins picked up a No. 3 seed due to losses to Stanford and USC. The Bruins easily dispatched Hawaii before narrowly defeating USC, 7-6, in sudden-victory overtime. In the MPSF title match, UCLA fell to Stanford. The Bruins earned an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament, where they defeated Loyola Marymount in the semifinals. UCLA advanced to the championship game against Stanford for the third consecutive time. The Bruins fell behind 2-0 at halftime, but stormed back with four straight goals to win the match, 4-3, and capture the NCAA Championship. Goals were scored by Jessica Lopez, Kelly Rulon, Lauren Heineck, and Robin Beauregard, and Jaime Hipp finished with six saves. Senior Robin Beauregard was named Most Outstanding Player of the NCAA Touranment.

CHAMPIONSHIP HISTORY

2005 NCAA Champions (33-0, 12-0 MPSF), Head Coach: Adam Krikorian UCLA’s 2005 squad enjoyed what was considered by many at the time to be the greatest season in collegiate women’s water polo history. Led by Cutino Award winner Natalie Golda, the Bruins posted a perfect 33-0 mark to win the NCAA Championship. UCLA’s 33-0 record marked the best NCAA finish and longest single-season winning streak. The team outscored its opponents 394-134, and 121 -31 in the first quarter. Few teams held their ground against UCLA in the first quarter, much less the entire game. This championship team started three Olympians – Natalie Golda, Kelly Rulon, and Thalia Munro. The Bruins entered the NCAA Tournament ast he No. 1 seed at the University of Michigan’s Canham Natatorium. After defeating Wagner in their first match, the Bruins downed Hawai’i, 7-6, in the semifinals. Kristina Kunkel scored the winning goal with 1:43 left in the fourth quarter. UCLA concluded its remarkable season by winning the 2005 NCAA Championship, defeating third-seeded Stanford, 3-2. UCLA led the entire way against the Cardinal, as Brittany Rowe led the Bruins with two goals in that game.

2006 NCAA Champions (29-4, 11-1 MPSF), Head Coach: Adam Krikorian The 2006 Bruins returned nearly every player aside from Natalie Golda, the 2005 Cutino Award winner who helped lead UCLA to a 33-0 record in 2005. The Bruins had the talent, experience, and determination necessary to win their second consecutive NCAA title, their fourth in the last six seasons. While not nearly as dominant as the 2005 version, the 2006 women’s water polo team outscored its opponents by a 369134 margin. UCLA allowed just 4.1 goals per game, the best average in the nation. The Bruins finished their 2006 campaign with a 29-4 overall record and an 11-1 MPSF mark. UCLA earned the No. 3 seed entering the NCAA Tournament at UC Davis. In game one, UCLA dispatched No. 6 seed Hartwick College, 15-2. Then next day, goalkeeper Emily Feher made nine saves in the cage and Kelly Rulon added three goals to lead UCAL past Stanford, 8-5, in both teams’ fourth meeting of the spring. UCLA concluded its stellar season in the most exciting fashion. Sophomore Courtney Mathewson’s last-second five-meter shot found the back of the cage, handing UCLA a 9-8 victory and their second NCAA title in as many seasons.

2007 NCAA Champions (28-2, 11-1 MPSF), Head Coach: Adam Krikorian UCLA’s 2007 squad will be most remembered as the team that won UCLA’s 100th NCAA team championship. The women’s water polo team initiated the “race” to 100 when the Bruins captured the 2006 NCAA title. Equally impressive, the Bruins’ 2007 title marked the program’s third consecutive NCAA Championship. Led by seniors Molly Cahill, Emily Feher, Kacy Kunkel and Kelly Rulon, the 2007 team had little trouble taking care of business. UCLA suffered two regular-season losses to Stanford, but defeated the Cardinal when it mattered most. The Bruins downed Long Beach State on the first day of the MPSF Tournament before edging USC, 10-9, in the semifinals. UCLA punched its ticket to the NCAA Tournament with a 9-3 rout of Stanford. After a 22-0 victory over Pomona-Pitzer in round one, the Bruins defeated USC, 7-6, to set up a pivotal rematch with Stanford in the NCAA Championship. UCLA built a 4-1 lead after three quarters and held off a furious Stanford rally to win, 5-4. Along the way in 2007, senior Kelly Rulon broke the UCLA career scoring record, totaling 237 goals.

2008 NCAA Champions (33-0, 12-0 MPSF), Head Coach: Adam Krikorian For the second time in four years, the UCLA women’s water polo team posted a perfect 33-0 record en route to capturing the NCAA Championship. Duplicating the Bruins’ perfect record from 2005, UCLA secured the 2008 NCAA title with a 6-3 victory over crosstown rival USC. Seniors Kamaile Crowell, Gabrielle Domanic, Jillian Kraus, Courtney Mathewson and Brittany Rowe became the first female student-athletes in school history to capture four NCAA titles in four seasons. Kraus and Mathewson earned Co-MPSF Player of the Year honors by season’s end, and Mathewson was the recipient of the Peter J. Cutino Award, the sport’s most prestigious honor bestowed upon the top male and female player. In his 10th season at the helm, head coach Adam Krikorian earned ACWPC Coach of the Year accolades for the fourth consecutive season, and Mathewson captured ACWPC Player of the Year honors. Aside from the leadership of UCLA’s five seniors, the Bruins received substantial contributions from juniors Brittany Fullen, Anne Belden, Katie Rulon and Tanya Gandy. Fullen finished her junior campaign having started as the goalkeeper in all 33 matches and totaled a school single-season record 237 saves.

2009 NCAA Champions (25-6, 5-2 MPSF), Head Coach: Adam Krikorian UCLA won its fifth consecutive NCAA title in 2009, and may have done so in the most improbable of fashions. The Bruins downed crosstown rival USC by a 5-4 margin in the title match, but did not score any goals in the second half. Playing lockdown defense against a USC squad that UCLA had yet to beat in two previous meetings, the Bruins prevailed behind the stellar play of senior goalkeeper Brittany Fullen (12 saves). One day earlier, the Bruins won an equally thrilling contest, using a last-second goal from sophomore Megan Burmeister to edge Stanford by a 12-11 margin. UCLA entered its 2009 campaign riding a 41-game win streak before losing six games throughout the year. In his final season as the women’s water polo team’s head coach, Adam Krikorian made his the Bruins peaked at the right time of the season. Senior Tanya Gandy was named the NCAA Division I Player of the Year at season’s end, having shattered UCLA’s single-season scoring record with 79 goals. Fellow seniors Anne Belden, Katie Rulon and Fullen were named All-NCAA Tournament Team selections in addition to earning second-team All-America honors.

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. Future projects include a major renovation of the historic Pauley Pavilion, upgrade of the baseball stadium clubhouse and practice facilities and construction of a new Academic Studies Center.

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.

Community Outreach Bruin student-athletes, coaches and staff have the opportunity to participate in community service activities on campus and throughout the Los Angeles area. Examples of these events include; • Marathon Kids • Dribble for the Cure • Mattel Children’s Hospital • Elementary/Middle School Visits • Team Prime Time/Prime Time Games • UCLA Lab School Jogathon • I’m Going to College • Adopt a Classroom • Special Requests/Events These outreach opportunities give student-athletes a chance to mentor youth, give back to the community and serve as ambassadors for UCLA Athletics.

Wooden Academy: Teamwork, Leadership and Character The Wooden Academy is a comprehensive leadership development program designed to educate and support the standards of leadership for Bruin student-athletes. The pillars of the Wooden Academy are teamwork, leadership and character. The program is named after legendary Coach John Wooden, and strives to teach the values and principles of his Pyramid of Success. We believe that these skills will assist student-athletes in their pursuit to be successful leaders and teammates at UCLA, and as they prepare to be champions in life. Student-athletes will have the opportunity to participate in the Wooden Academy each year by attending seminars and learning practical leadership lessons from coaches, administrators and Bruin alumni.
