COACHING STAFF
RYDER
ROBERTS Assistant Coach First Season UCLA ‘17
The UCLA men’s water polo team hired Bruin standout Ryder Roberts to the post of assistant coach, head coach Adam Wright announced on Aug. 16, 2017. Roberts has spent the past two years as an assistant boy’s coach at Harvard-Westlake. An attacker from Vista, Calif., and Vista High School, he was a member of the UCLA men’s water polo team from 2013-16, winning two NCAA titles (2014 and 2015) and finished his collegiate career ranking seventh on the UCLA charts in scoring with 158 goals. A three-time All-American and a three-time All-MPSF selection, Roberts was named the 2015 Most Valuable Player of the NCAA Championship as the Bruins went 30-0. During his four years as a Bruin, he helped lead his teams to arguably the best and most dominant seasons in UCLA men’s water polo history. His senior class left UCLA as the all-time winningest class by percentage at 91.8% with an overall record of 112-10. The 112 career wins is the second-most in UCLA history -- only two behind the 2015 class, which had 114 career victories. He was a part of three teams that finished No. 1, No. 2 and tied for No. 3 in single season wins (30 in 2015; 29 in 2014 and 28 in 2013 and 2016). He also made three straight NCAA Final Four appearances, winning back-to-back NCAA Championships in 2014 and 2015. His teams won the 2015 MPSF Tournament title and three of four MPSF regular season titles (2013-14-15). They also won the NorCal Championship all four years (2013-14-15-16) and the win in 2013 was the first for the Bruins since 2004. Additionally the Bruins won the SoCal Championship in 2015.
UCLA’s Ryder Roberts was named the MVP of the 2015 NCAA Championship.
His graduating class went 35-3 (92.1%) at home during its collegiate span, which included hosting one NCAA Tournament, one MPSF Tournament and one SoCal Tournament. Impressively, his teams were a combined 26-2 (92.9%) in the MPSF and won an MPSF and UCLA record 26 straight league games from 2013 to 2016. His teams also set UCLA and NCAA all-time longest winning streaks in men’s water polo at 57 games, which is also the second-longest streak in any sport in the history of UCLA. His teams also had a winning record against every team in the country, including going 10-4 vs. USC, 10-1 vs. California and 6-3 vs. Stanford. In 2015, the Bruins became one of only seven teams in the history of the sport to go undefeated (30-0). and since the MPSF started in 1992, the Bruins were one of only three teams to go undefeated. “Ryder obviously was a very special player for our men’s program,” coach Wright said. “He helped to set the standard of how we approach the game as well as helped build upon the special culture of our UCLA men’s water polo program. The impact he had on our program was so much more than the championships he won. His legacy shows today’s and future Bruins who we strive to be. Over the course of his career, I learned that he was one of the special players who invested everything he could into becoming a student of the game.” I said at our year-end banquet that I hoped Ryder would go into coaching as he would undoubtedly have a bright future. Little did I know that I would be adding him to our staff eight months later. He will have a positive effect on our program as a coach and will continue to enhance our culture here at UCLA, this time from the pool deck. I am excited to see the legacy he will now leave behind as a coach.” RYDER ROBERTS’ CAREER STATISTICS Year 2013 2014 2015 2016 Totals

MPSF AND 2016 FINAL STANDINGS The Mountain Pacific Sports Federation (MPSF) was established in 1992-1993 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 endangered sports. 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 charter 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 and diving. 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 26th season during the 2017-2018 academic year and continues its legacy of championship competition, it affirms the vision
of its founders and the relevance of its founding principles.
Men’s Gymnastics brought the MPSF’s total to 89 NCAA titles since its first season of competition. With the Golden Bears’ men and Cardinal women winning NCAA Water Polo titles, the MPSF has captured all 42 national championships in the sport since the inaugural year of the conference (25 men, 17 women). The Oklahoma Men’s Gymnastics team has brought home the last six MPSF Championships-the longest current streak amongst all federation sports-as well as an all-sports MPSF record 16 conference titles.
In 2017-2018, the MPSF will sponsor competition in 10 intercollegiate Olympic sports, while serving 80 teams from 38 universities across 10 states. All MPSF teams compete at the NCAA Division I level in men’s and w o m e n ’s water polo, men’s and w o m e n ’s indoor track and field, men’s and women’s gymnastics, men’s and women’s swimming and diving, women’s lacrosse, and men’s volleyball. MPSF team champions are eligible to compete in the NCAA Championships with men’s and women’s water polo and men’s volleyball champions earning automatic qualification. Making their debut in an MPSF Championship this year are the women’s indoor track and field teams from UC Davis and the University of San Francisco.
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 75 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
The MPSF collected four NCAA team championship titles during the 2016-17 academic year, extending the streak to 13 straight years with at least that many. The federation collected a high of five national championships during the 2007-08, 2008-09, and 2015-16 years. This past year, California Men’s Water Polo, Stanford Women’s Water Polo, Oregon Women’s Indoor Track and Field, and Oklahoma
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 fouryear 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, is married and has two daughters.

HEAD COACHING HISTORY
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. Bob Horn and the 1979 UCLA Bruins
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.

Adam Krikorian Adam Krikorian served as head coach of the men's water polo team from 1999-2008 and as head coach of the women's program from 1999-2009. Krikorian now serves as the head coach of the U.S. Women's Water Polo National Team. He guided Team USA to its first-ever Olympic gold medal in women's water polo in 2012 in London and followed that with another gold in 2016 in Rio. As head coach of both UCLA water polo programs, he helped lead the Bruins to 11 national championships (three men's, eight women's). He coached the men's water polo team to NCAA titles in 1999, 2000 and 2004. As head coach of the women's program, Krikorian guided UCLA to the 2000 National Collegiate Championship and NCAA titles in 2001 and 2003 before reeling off five consecutive NCAA championships (2005-09). Between the two UCLA water polo programs, Krikorian coached six Peter J. Cutino Award recipients, seven National Player of the Year selections and 12 Olympians. He led the UCLA men's and women's teams to national championships in the same academic year on three occasions (1999-00, 2000-01 and 2004-05).

Krikorian assumed head coaching duties of the U.S. Women's Water Polo National Team following the 2009 collegiate spring season and helped guide Team USA to the gold medal at the 2009 FINA World Championships in Rome. Krikorian was a four-year water polo letterwinner at UCLA (1992-95), helping lead the men's program to the 1995 NCAA Championship at the conclusion of his senior season (the program's first national title since 1972).

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 firstever 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 commitment to the men’s water polo program as an alumnus.

2015 NCAA CHAMPIONSHIP
#113 The top-ranked UCLA Bruins won their second straight NCAA Championship with a 10-7 win over No. 3 USC (22-7) at Dirks Pool at Spieker Aquatics Center on Sunday evening. The Bruins concluded the season at 30-0 on the year, winning their 33rd-straight game, which extends the second-longest winning streak in school history. The all-time record is 50, which was established from 196468. This was the first undefeated season for UCLA since the 1969 team went 19-0. It was also the program’s 10th title and the school’s 113th NCAA Championship, which leads the nation. The undefeated season for the Bruins was just the fourth all-time in NCAA men’s water polo history, joining the 2012 and 2008 USC squads and the 1992 California team. Eight different Bruins scored in the title game, led by juniors Ryder Roberts and Patrick Fellner, each with two scores. Junior goalkeeper Garrett Danner registered 13 saves for UCLA. Roberts was named the 2015 NCAA Men’s Water Polo Championship Most Valuable Player. Joining Roberts as a First Team All-NCAA Tournament selection was senior Daniel McClintick, senior Anthony Daboub and Danner. Junior Gordon Marshall was the lone Bruin to earn Second Team All-NCAA Tournament honors. Grant Stein scored first for the Trojans at 4:13 of the first period. Sophomore Alex Roelse scored the equalizer with 2:48 left in the first. Matteo Morelli put USC back in front, 2-1, with a bar-in shot (2:23). Lachlan Edwards gave the Trojans a 3-1 lead with a goal from two meters (1:50). Roberts then went cross-cage on a hard skipshot to cut the lead to 3-2 (1:38). Roberts then scored his second to tie the game at 3-3 with a power play goal (1:08) which was the final goal of the period.
The 2015 NCAA Champions won UCLA’s 113th NCAA title with an undefeated record of 30-0.
McClintick gave the Bruins their first lead of the game at 4-3 with a goal from the front court with 5:22 to go in the second period. In a defensive-minded period, Roberts hit Marshall at two meters for a power play goal (0:10) and the Bruins pitched a shutout in the second period as UCLA took a 5-3 lead into the break. Mac Carden cut the Bruins’ lead to 5-4 with a power play goal (5:12) to open the scoring in the third period. Fellner scored his first of the game on a power play (3:03) to push the lead back to two at 6-4. Bryce Hoerman scored for the Trojans to cut the lead to 6-5 (1:58). But junior Chancellor Ramirez beat the Trojan goalie with a
high corner shot that pushed the lead back to two at 7-5 (0:49). The Trojans came back with a power play score from Lachlan Edwards to cut it to 7-6 with just 0:25 remaining to end the period. Sophomore Max Irving opened the scoring right out of the gates in the fourth with a goal from the front court at the 7:32 mark to extend the lead to 8-6. Daboub then gave the Bruins their largest lead of the game at 9-6 (4:20) off a nice feed from Roberts. Blake Edwards cut the lead to 9-7 with his first goal of the game with 3:21 to go. Fellner scored the game’s final goal with 0:01 left to provide the 10-7 final. McQuin Baron was credited with 12 saves and two steals for the Trojans while giving up 10 goals. The Bruins converted on 4-of-8 power plays while the Trojans were just 2-for-8. Neither team attempted a penalty shot. No. 3 USC at No. 1 UCLA (NCAA Championship) SCOREBOARD No. 3 USC No. 1 UCLA

2014 NCAA CHAMPIONSHIP
#112 The No. 1 UCLA men’s water polo team (29-3, 8-0 MPSF) brought home its ninth NCAA title and 112th in UCLA history with a 9-8 win over six-time defending champion USC on Sunday afternoon at UCSD’s Canyonview Aquatic Center. The 29 wins tied UCLA’s single-season record (29-5 in 1988) as the Bruins earned their first NCAA Championship since 2004, coincidentally the last time UCLA went undefeated in MPSF play. The win over the Trojans improved UCLA’s record this season against USC to 4-1, which equalled its record against the Adam Krikoriancoached squad in 2002. Junior Danny McClintick led all scorers with four goals and was named the NCAA Tournament MVP. Sophomores Garrett Danner and Gordon Marshall joined McClintick on the NCAA’s All-Tournament First Team. Seniors Cristiano Mirarchi and Paul Reynolds were both 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 till halftime. Matteo Morelli opened the scoring in the third with a power play goal to cut the lead to 4-3 (6:59).

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).

2004 NCAA CHAMPIONSHIP
#95 Sophomore Logan Powell scored the game-winning goal with 13 seconds remaining in the second overtime period to send UCLA to a thrilling 10-9 victory over Stanford on Sunday afternoon in the NCAA Men’s Water Polo Championships at Stanford’s Avery Aquatics Center. For the Bruins, it is their eighth NCAA title in men’s water polo and the 95th for the UCLA athletic program. Stanford took an early edge when Greg Crum converted a Tony Azevedo pass past Bruin goalkeeper Joseph Axelrad for a 1-0 lead. UCLA would answer less than a minute later when senior attacker Brett Ormsby dished off to fellow senior attacker Albert Garcia, who sent one past Cardinal keeper Chad Taylor. The Cardinal reclaimed the lead at 4:15 in the first on an extra-man goal by Sam Tyre and ran their lead to 3-1 with Thomas Hopkins’ goal from just inside two meters at 3:20. But UCLA’s Garcia netted his second goal of the match at 1:21 to bring the Bruins to within one. Then at the five minute mark in the second, the Bruins reknotted the match when Peter Belden pushed in a shot just beyond the goal line after Ted Peck’s shot was deflected by Taylor. Stanford regained the lead again with Peter Varellas’ extra-man goal at 4:17. UCLA would then go on to score two unanswered goals to bring a 5-4 lead into halftime. UCLA’s fourth goal came as Grant Zider scored on a lob pass from Ormsby just outside two-meters. Powell gave the Bruins their first lead of the match when his shot, assisted by Josh Hewko, deflected off Stanford’s Taylor and into the cage. The teams exchanged single goals in the third, but UCLA received a break when, early in the period after a Bruin defensive stop, Peck, looking to pass back to Axelrad for an outlet pass, left it short of the net and allowed Azevedo to intercept. Axelrad, however, held strong and blocked the one-on-one shot. At 4:28, UCLA took a two-goal lead when Hewko fired into an empty right side of the net after

fielding a lofted pass from Ormsby. Stanford climed back to within a goal when Thomas Hopkins scored at 1:09 for the Cardinal’s third extra-man score of the game. In the fourth, Axelrad came up huge again as he fended off another wide-open Azevedo shot with under five minutes to play to maintain UCLA’s 6-5 advantage. UCLA padded its lead when, at 3:14 in the final period, Ormsby found the back of the net after taking a cross pass from Garcia. However, the Cardinal would not go quietly, as Varellas brought Stanford to within one at 0:51 in the fourth and Azevedo tied the match at 0:21 after an offensive turnover sent the ball Stanford’s way.
In the first overtime period, Stanford gained control at 1:56 when Hopkins found the back of the net from just outside four meters. The Bruins struck right back at 1:45 when Ormsby scored his second goal of the game for the 8-8 tie. Heading into the second overtime period tied, Stanford took a 9-8 lead at 1:54 with another extra-man goal from Varellas. But the Bruins fought back again with Peck’s first goal of the match after UCLA received a 6-on-5 advantage of its own. Powell scored the championship-winning goal with 0:13 remaining after a Hewko 6-on-5 shot sailed off the arms of Taylor and into Powell’s possession. His shot deflected off Taylor again but this time dribbled past the goal line. UCLA head coach Adam Krikorian is now tied with UC Irvine’s Ted Newland for NCAA water polo titles won by an active head coach with three. Notes: The Avery Aquatic Center holds 2,500 fans, about 500 less than the 3,044 in attendance Sunday ... UCLA allowed three goals in the first quarter, only the third time the Bruins have allowed that many first-quarter goals all season ... Because of the national telecast of the match, halftime was 10 minutes long instead of the traditional five minute break ... UCLA played the overtime period without Garcia, Matt Jacobs (exhausted penalties) and Chris Pulido (game exclusion). UCLA vs. Stanford (NCAA Championship) SCOREBOARD UCLA Stanford

2000 NCAA CHAMPIONSHIP
#82 All five seniors scored goals to lead the men’s water polo team to its fourth NCAA Championship in the last six years, as the Bruins defeated UC San Diego 11-2 in the title game at Pepperdine University. UCLA has now won seven NCAA Championships in water polo and has 82 NCAA titles, topping all collegiate athletic programs in the nation. First team All-Tournament member Brian Brown opened up the scoring for the Bruins at 5:18. Forty seconds later, Brown took a perfect Sean Kern pass on the left side and put it past Triton goalkeeper Glenn Busch to give UCLA a 2-0 at 4:40. UCSD’s Jonathan Samuels brought the Tritons to within one when he scored an extra man goal at 3:04. That goal would be the last that UCLA would give up until the last few minutes of the game. Jeff Pflueger scored off a Matt Flesher pass to give the Bruins a 3-1 advantage after the first period. Andy Bailey walked in and scored his first goal of the day with 4:22 remaining in the second period. After an extra man save by UCLA goalkeeper Brandon Brooks, Dave Parker scored from two meters to give the Bruins a 5-1 lead. Tournament MVP Kern gave UCLA a 6-1 halftime lead with a goal at 2:17. Brooks made a fingertip save on a shot by UCSD’s Julian Wylie to end the second half. In the third period, Brown drove the length of the pool and put one away to make the score 7-1. Thirty seconds later, Blake Wellen took a pass from Andy Bailey on the left side and scored to make it 8-1. Kern muscled his way around the defense to score his second goal of the game with 4:11 remaining in the third. With 3:33 remaining in the period, Pflueger was ejected, but UCLA’s defense stopped three shots and Brooks was able to come out and make a steal. Pflueger scored his second goal of the game during an extra man opportunity, taking a Bailey pass on the left side and putting it past Busch.
The 2000 NCAA Champions won UCLA’s 83rd NCAA title, knocking off UC San Diego 11-2 in the title game.
With 3:24 left in the game and UCLA ahead 10-1, the Bruin reserves entered the game to a roaring cheer. UCSD’s Vladimir Djapic scored the Tritons’ second goal of the day after a Jon Puffer ejection, but Dan Yeilding kept the winning margin at nine when he put one away with 34 seconds left in the game. UCLA outshot UCSD 27-19. The Bruins had numerous steals and when the Triton offense was able to get a shot off, Brooks was phenomenal in goal. “With this UCLA team, the difference is they play defense better than anyone else. You could see that today. We were horrible on the offensive end. With what few opportunities we had,
their goalie, Mr. (Brandon) Brooks, he was on everything. I was really impressed with him. I knew he was good, but how a human covers a cage that’s three feet high and ten feet wide is beyond me,” said UC San Diego coach Denny Harper following the game. UCLA co-head coach Guy Baker echoed Harper’s thoughts. “I think Brandon is the best goalie in the country, and a great part about our defense is if you can break it down, which can be difficult, you still have to score on Brandon.” Kern earned Tournament MVP honors for the second year in a row, as well as being named to the All-Tournament first team. Joining him on the first team were Brown and Brooks. Parker and Wellen earned second team honors. The UCLA water polo team has now won back to back NCAA Championships for the third time. They captured titles in 1971-72, 1995-96, and 1999-2000. Baker has coached the men’s team to four NCAA titles, and the UCLA women’s water polo team to three national championships.

#78 Led by four goals from junior Sean Kern, the UCLA men’s water polo team captured the 1999 NCAA men’s water polo championship title by defeating Stanford 6-5 in front of a crowd of 2,422 at UC San Diego’s Canyonview Pool Sunday afternoon. The Bruins, who end the season with a 22-3 overall record, have now won three national titles in the last five years under coach Guy Baker, and six championships overall in 23 appearances. Stanford closes out the year with a 22-6 overall record. UCLA battled back from a 4-1 deficit to score five unanswered points and hold on for the victory. Kern, the NCAA tournament’s most valuable player, scored his third goal to knot the score at 4-4 with 2:03 left in the third quarter. Senior Matt Armato, playing in the final game of his career, then scored the eventual game-winner with one second remaining in the third, giving UCLA its first lead of the game. Kern cushioned the Bruin lead with his fourth goal of the game early in the fourth quarter. Stanford narrowed the score with a goal from sophomore Pasi Dutton to cut the gap to 6-5.
With six seconds remaining in regulation, the Cardinal threatened with a two-point shot attempt from senior Brian Heifferon but true freshman goalkeeper Brandon Brooks made the save.

DIRKS POOL AT SPIEKER AQUATICS CENTER
entering its ninth season as UCLA’s home . . .
SPIEKER AQUATICS CENTER The UCLA men’s water polo team begins its ninth season playing at Dirks Pool at Spieker Aquatics Center in the fall of 2017. Over the past seven seasons, UCLA has logged a 68-8 (.895) record at its state-of-the-art home facility, where it won its 10th NCAA title in school history in 2015. 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 2016, UCLA is slated to play seven regular-season games (includes the Alumni Match) at Spieker Aquatics Center. The Bruins’ home will also be the site of the 2016 MPSF Men’s Water Polo Championship (Nov. 18-20). In the fall of 2011, UCLA hosted the MPSF Tournament (Nov. 25-27), using Dirks Pool at Spieker Aquatics Center. The Bruins took full advantage of their home court and won the Conference Tournament by beating top-ranked USC, 10-9, in sudden victory overtime on Nov. 27, 2012. The Bruins can also use the pool at Sunset Canyon Recreation Center when hosting larger events.
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.
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.
Entering its sixth 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.
Next to the scoreboard is the “Wall of Champions”, showcasing all of UCLA’s water polo, swimming and diving national championship teams, and individual student-athletes’ achievements, record-holders and Olympians.
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 studentathlete Tod Spieker and his wife, Catherine. Tod, a 1971 UCLA graduate and All-American, swam for the Bruins from 196871 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 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.

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.
