GUIDE TO WATER POLO POSITIONS GK – goalkeeper, ATK – attacker/driver, CTR – center, DEF – defender, UTL – utility Attacker: Similar to the guard and forward positions in basketball. Look for these players to shoot often and create offensive chances for their teammates, as well as disrupt the opponents’ offensive play. Also known as a driver. Center Offense/Defense: Similar to the post position in basketball. These players station themselves in front of goal, engaging in physical battles for position. Defenders are similar to football safeties by preventing opponent breakaways on counterattack.

COACHING STAFF
ADAM
a 10-7 win over USC. The Bruins ended the year with a 30-0 record and went a perfect 9-0 in the MPSF for its second-consecutive undefeated league season. UCLA also went 4-0 on the year against USC. The undefeated overall season was the first for UCLA since the 1969 team went 19-0, marking the fourth undefeated season all-time in NCAA men’s water polo’s modern history.
WRIGHT
Under Wright’s guidance, 58 Bruins have secured ACWPC All-America honors, including 16 first team honorees. He has also produced two Olympians for Team USA in 2016 in Josh Samuels and Alex Roelse. Under his tutelage, goalkeeper Garrett Danner was UCLA’s first player to be named MPSF Newcomer of the Year in 2013 and in 2016 became just the second Bruin to win the Cutino Award and the third overall winner as UCLA’s Sean Kern won the first two awards in 1998 and 1999. Wright has produced three MPSF Players of the Year, including Danner in 2015 and again in 2016 and Scott Davidson in 2009, who became the first Bruin to secure MPSF Player of the Year honors since 2000 (Sean Kern).
Head Coach 10th Season at UCLA 227-37 (.860) UCLA ‘01
Wright was also named the 2014 ACWPC Division I Coach of the Year after guiding UCLA to its ninth NCAA Championship in (112th overall at UCLA) with a 9-8 win over USC. The Bruins were 29-3 overall and went 8-0 in the MPSF for the first time since 2004, the last previous national title year.
Adam Wright begins his 10th season as UCLA’s head men’s water polo coach in 2018 with an overall record of 227-37 (.860) and an MPSF mark of 51-12 (.810). His teams earned perfect APR (Academic Progress Rate) scores of 1,000 in 2014, 2015 and 2016, all while winning NCAA Championships in 2014, 2015 and 2017. On July 20, 2017, UCLA Director of Athletics, Dan Guerrero, announced that Wright will now guide both the UCLA men’s and women’s water polo teams.
A former standout in the pool at UCLA, Wright competed in his third Olympics for the USA Men’s Water Polo Team in July of 2012 in London. Named UCLA’s fourth head coach in program history on June 3, 2009, Wright has guided the Bruins to three MPSF Tournament titles (2009, 2011 and 2015), three NCAA titles (2014, 2015 and 2017) and three runner-up finishes at the NCAA Tournament in his previous nine seasons at the helm of the UCLA program.
The 2017 season was supposed to be a rebuilding year for UCLA, which lost eight seniors in 2015 and another nine in 2016 to graduation. The Bruins had six true freshmen on their roster playing major minutes and also had a redshirt sophomore goalkeeper playing for the first time as a full-time starter in NCAA competition. But despite the fact that they were picked to finish fourth by the league coaches, they matured into a strong defensive unit that held the nation’s top offensive team in their home pool to just five goals, winning the programs’ 11th national title and UCLA’s 114th NCAA Championship with a 7-5 win at USC on Dec. 3, 2017. The Bruins finished the year at 21-4. Wright was named the ACWPC National Coach of the Year for the third time (2014, 2015 and 2017) in his career and was named the MPSF Coach of the Year for the second time (2011 and 2017).

COACHING STAFF 2008-09 school year. He helped guide the women’s program to an unprecedented fifth consecutive NCAA championship in May 2009. Following the 2008 men’s water polo season, Wright played an integral role in securing the top men’s recruiting class in the nation.
UCLA won MPSF Tournament titles in 2009 and 2011 and advanced to the title match of the NCAA Tournament both seasons. 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. In 2012, the Bruins fell to USC in the national championship game 11-10.
Wright got his coaching start as an assistant coach with the varsity boy’s and girl’s water polo teams at Wilson High School (Long Beach, Calif.) from 2001-04. He helped coach the boy’s program to four consecutive CIF Division I championships and Moore League titles. Wright coached the girl’s team to two Moore League titles.
Wright was named MPSF Coach of the Year in 2011 after having led UCLA to the MPSF Tournament title and a runner-up finish at the NCAA Tournament. In 2013, Wright guided the Bruins to the nation’s best record in the country at 28-4. UCLA also defeated six-time defending champion USC two out of three times that season and lost all four games during the season by a combined total of five goals. But the Bruins lost their last two games of the MPSF Tournament, an 11-10 setback to Stanford in the semifinals and a 10-9 defeat to Pacific in the third-place game, and were not selected to the NCAA Tournament.
As a senior at UCLA in 2000, Wright scored 39 goals before earning honorable mention All-America acclaim and second-team All-MPSF honors. In 1999, he secured third-team All-America and second-team All-MPSF honors. That season, Wright led UCLA in assists (27) and was second in total points (48) and steals (39). In his first two seasons, he scored 43 goals - 26 as a freshman and 27 as a sophomore. He gained second-team All-America honors in 1998 and was an honorable mention All-America and All-MPSF selection as a freshman in 1997.
The Bruins produced another great season under Wright in 2012, going 28-5 with a 7-1 mark in MPSF play. UCLA also had a solid season in 2011, going 24-5 with a 6-2 record in conference action. UCLA entered the MPSF Tournament with a 20-4 record, before recording three consecutive overtime wins, all by one goal, to win the tournament title. UCLA edged USC, 10-9, in sudden victory overtime in the championship match before a standing room only crowd at the Bruins’ Spieker Aquatics Center.
Wright graduated from UCLA in 2001 with degrees in history and sociology. Following his collegiate career, Wright competed in the European League (Italy and Russia) for Bissolati Cremona, Civitavecchia SNC, Nuoto Catania and Dynamo Moscow from 2004-08. He has competed for the U.S. National Team in all major tournaments from 2001-11, helping lead Team USA to the gold medal at the 2003 and 2007 Pan American Games as well as the 2005 ASUA Cup (Mexico City).
UCLA advanced to the 2011 NCAA Tournament championship match with a 10-1 win over UC San Diego, its best defensive effort in any NCAA Tournament match since 1971. The Bruins lost a 7-4 decision to crosstown rival USC in the championship match. In 2009, UCLA’s path to the NCAA Tournament 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.
Wright, 41, is married to Kerry Norris, a former UCLA women’s soccer player. He and his wife reside with their daughter, Rome, and son, Zsolt, in Los Angeles.
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.

Wright’s Career Coaching Record

JACK
GROVER Assistant Coach First Season UCLA ‘18
The UCLA men’s water polo team has hired Bruin standout Jack Grover to the post of assistant coach, head coach Adam Wright announced on July 31, 2018. Grover, who replaced Ryder Roberts, has served as a coach with the Bruin Stars and Stripes Water Polo Club since February of 2018 and also served as an instructor at UCLA Sports Camps in 2017, teaching fundamentals of water polo to youth from 7-17 years of age. An attacker (Pasadena, Calif./Loyola HS) for the Bruins from 2013-17, Grover, won three NCAA titles (2014, 2015 and 2017) and received honorable mention All-America recognition in 2017. He also was named second team All-MPSF and earned MPSF All-Academic accolades for the second time in his career in 2017. 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 with the second-best record by percentage at 91.3% with an overall record of 105-10. The 105 career wins are the third-most in UCLA history -- nine behind the 2015 class (114 career wins) and seven behind the 2016 class (112 career victories). He ended his career with 51 goals in 107 games while making 38 starts. “I have known Jack now for 10 years as I had the chance to coach him while he was playing club ball,” coach Wright said. “At the time, I had no clue how our paths would continue to cross. What Jack was able to do here at UCLA as a student-athlete was truly incredible. He absolutely invested everything he could into our UCLA Men’s Water Polo program and that is what put him in a position to be successful over his playing career here at UCLA.”
UCLA’s Jack Grover was named an Honorable Mention All-American in 2017.
From a young age, it was apparent that Jack was a student of the game, and that in turn put our program in a position to be successful. Jack not only set the standard within our program of being a student of the game but he also set the standard of how we approach our everyday training. He constantly moved the needle forward with our culture and standards. We are very lucky to be adding somebody as dedicated as him to our program. He will be a great teacher and mentor to our current student-athletes as well as our future Bruins.”

good and bad. There is something about hearing the National Anthem, hands behind my back, and having my teammates by my side that absolutely makes that my greatest athletic thrill. The finals my sophomore year had a very similar environment but I never took the time in that moment while listening to the National Anthem to take a second and be appreciative of how lucky I was to be in that situation. That’s what made the difference between those two moments. My junior year I can still remember the chills I had as the National Anthem began while standing among my teammates and my competitors” … has yet to declare a major.

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 27th season during the 2018-2019 academic year and continues its legacy of championship competition, it affirms the vision of
its founders and the relevance of its founding principles.
titles since its 1992 inaugural season of competition. With the Bruin men and Trojan women winning NCAA Water Polo titles, the MPSF has captured all 44 national championships in the sport since the inception of the conference (26 men, 18 women). Additionally, the Sooner male gymnasts brought home their fourthstraight NCAA title and seventh-straight MPSF Championship, the latter of which matches an all-time record amongst all federation sports. OU also owns an all-sports MPSF record 17 conference titles.
In 2018-2019, the MPSF will sponsor competition in 10 intercollegiate Olympic sports, while serving 84 teams from 41 universities across 12 states. All MPSF teams compete at the NCAA Division I level in 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 and diving, women’s lacrosse, and men’s volleyball. MPSF teams 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 men’s water polo team from Austin College, women’s water polo team from Indiana University, and each gender’s swim and dive squad from UC San Diego.
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 78 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 long-rooted 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.
The MPSF collected three NCAA team championship titles during the 2017-18 academic year. The federation collected a high of five national championships during the 2007-08, 2008-09, and 2015-16 years, and has won at least four in 13 of the last 14 years. This past year, UCLA Men’s Water Polo, USC Women’s Water Polo, and Oklahoma Men’s Gymnastics brought the MPSF’s total to 92 NCAA
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, 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).
Adam Krikorian and the 2004 NCAA Champion UCLA Bruins
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).

Pac-12 Leadership Award
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.

BRUIN AWARD WINNERS
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 commitment to the men’s water polo program as an alumnus.

#114 This was supposed to be a rebuilding year for top-seeded UCLA, which lost eight seniors in 2015 and another nine in 2016 to graduation. The Bruins have six true freshmen on their roster playing major minutes and also had a redshirt sophomore goalkeeper playing for the first time as a full-time starter in NCAA competition. But despite the fact that they were picked to finish fourth by the league coaches, they matured into a strong defensive unit that held the nation’s top offensive team in their home pool to just five goals, winning the programs’ 11th national title and UCLA’s 114th NCAA Championship with a 7-5 win over third-seeded USC on Sunday afternoon at USC’s Uytengsu Aquatics Center. The Bruins finished the year at 21-4 while USC dropped to 27-4. Seniors Alex Roelse and Matt Farmer led the Bruins with a game-high two goals each. Redshirt sophomore Alex Wolf played the entire game in the cage for UCLA, registering 10 saves while allowing just five goals, two on Trojan power plays. Matteo Morelli scored the first goal of the game for USC on a power play at the 6:42 mark. Marin Dasic made it 2-0 with a goal from the front court (1:51). Freshman Quinten Osborne got the Bruins on the board with a goal at two meters (1:33) to trim the Trojans’ lead to 2-1. Zach D’Sa scored on a cross-cage shot to open the scoring in the second period (4:37), giving the Trojans a 3-1 advantage. But Roelse scored from the front court with 21 seconds left to cut the lead to 3-2 at the break. Farmer tied things up at 3-3 (3:33) off a nice feed from Roelse into two meters. But James Walters answered immediately with a goal (3:05) to put USC up 4-3. Senior Max Irving then scored from the front court after an ordinary foul (1:56) to tie the game at 4-4. Roelse

Blake Edwards tied the game at 5-5 with a power play score (6:47) to open the scoring in the fourth. Farmer then scored a power play goal (6:05) to put the Bruins back in front, 6-5. Both teams made several defensive stops down the stretch. But none was bigger than the Bruins’ stop in the final seconds on a Trojan power play. Later, Wolf collected a ball from a Bruin teammate and noticed that USC goalie McQuin Baron was out of the cage on the other end and fired a shot that scored with
just two seconds remaining to provide the 7-5 final. Wolf was named the Most Valuable Player of the 2017 NCAA Championship. Roelse and Irving joined him on the First Team All-Tournament.

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.

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.

#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).

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 ...

#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 10th season as UCLA’s home . . .
SPIEKER AQUATICS CENTER The UCLA men’s water polo team begins its 10th season playing at Dirks Pool at Spieker Aquatics Center in the fall of 2018. Over the past nine seasons, UCLA has logged a 75-9 (.893) 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 2018, UCLA is slated to play nine regular-season games (includes the Alumni Match) at Spieker Aquatics Center. The Bruins will also host two exhibition games during the year. 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 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.
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 1968-71 and still competes 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 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
