WOMen’s Water Polo 2013 USC WOMen’s Water

n the ebb and flow of collegiate water polo, the USC women’s water polo team has managed to build up a tidal wave of talent for the 2013 season. Decorated players from across the globe have blended well with homegrown stars who have earned their stripes, making the Women of Troy a force of nature for the season to come. Now entering his 19th season at the helm of the USC women’s program, 11-time National Coach of the Year Jovan Vavic has set the bar high once again for his Trojans. USC has reached the NCAA title match four of the past five seasons now. In 2010, the Trojans reigned supreme as national champions, and with five members still remaining from that squad, the USC roster is packed with winning experience and a driving hunger to win it all once again. Seniors Constance Hiller, Nicolina McCall, Blair Moody, Chelsea Silvers and Dominique Sardo have put three seasons of work into the USC program as they now enter their final seasons at Troy as the leaders in experience across the board. All-American Sardo is joined by junior All-American Kaleigh Gilchrist as this year’s team captains. Gilchrist was USC’s top scorer as a sophomore, and the pair are matched at 62 career goals apiece as they enter 2013. “We have more maturity now, and the extra experience will help us in those close matches,” said Vavic, whose Trojans went 23-6 overall last season, with five of those losses coming in one-goal games. “We have quite a few juniors and seniors on the team who will help lead the way and show the younger players the plays and what to expect as the seasons goes on. “More than anything, our chemistry is good. That’s always the key. They get along and are very committed to playing water polo. This is a very good group in terms of commitment to each other and to the sport.” That kind of commitment has brought players from around the world to Troy. A 2012 Olympian from Hungary, Flora Bolonyai returns to USC as a junior goalie and a twotime All-American with the Trojans. Arguably the top collegiate goalie in the game and one of USC’s most decorated and experienced goalies who Vavic calls “the backbone of this team,” Bolonyai actually faced off against a teammate-to-be while in London. Spain’s Anni Espar was the second leading scorer in the 2012 Olympic Games, winning silver in London and now entering her freshman season as a Trojan. Back in 2010, USC had one Olympian on its roster in Cutino Award winner Kami Craig. For 2013, the Trojans have doubled up with two Olympic stars with its one-two punch of Bolonyai and Espar. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg in USC’s influx of incredible international talent this season. Freshly capped up for their first seasons as Trojans are Australian imports Jayde Appel and Hannah Buckling. Appel has been a member of the Australian Junior National Team, and Buckling is a member of the Australian Senior National Team. A veteran crew of U.S. Junior National Team talent also shines bright for the Trojans, with sophomore Eike Daube a current member of the U.S. junior team, and four 2011 Junior World Championship teammates for the USA — Kelly Mendoza, Colleen O’Donnell, Madeline Rosenthal, Dominique Sardo.

Coaching Staff

JOVAN VAVIC

H e a d co a c h J o va n Vavic, one of the top water polo coaches in the country, serves a dual role as the head coach of both the USC men’s and women’s teams. He has been with the USC women’s program since its inception in 1995, and has led both teams to national championships three times in the same school year (199899, 2003-04 and 2009-10). An 11-time National Coach of the Year, he boasts a grand total of 11 combined national titles — including a current five-year run with the USC men — and has coached 10 Cutino Award winners. In the calendar year of 2010, Vavic swept both sides of the game, following 2010 National and MPSF Coach of the Year awards on the women’s side with 2010 National and MPSF Coach of the Year with the men in leading the Trojan men to their third consecutive national championship. The USC women’s 25-3 overall mark in 2010 culminated in the women’s program’s third national championship. In 2011, USC made its eighth straight trip to the NCAA Tournament, finishing fourth with a 19-8 overall record. Last year, the 2012 Trojans fought back to the NCAA title match for the fourth time in five seasons and finished up No. 2 in the nation with an overall record of 23-6 to improve Vavic’s overall career record on the women’s side to 413-131 (.759) as he now enters his 19th season as the USC’s women’s head coach. In his 15th season at the helm of the men’s program, Vavic guided the Trojans to their second straight national championship in winning the 2009 NCAA men’s title. Soon after, Vavic was named the National Men’s Coach of the Year, and he would see his Trojans sweep the Cutino Awards for the third time in his career, as J.W. Krumpholz and Kami Craig went back-to-back as the 2009 and 2010 Cutino Award winners following the USC women’s run to the 2010 NCAA Championship. The first Trojan pair to sweep the awards was Juraj Zatovic and Lauren Wenger in 2006. Since 1999 when the program was fully funded, Vavic’s record is 325-58 (.849), including eight consecutive NCAA tournament appearances. Between 2003 and 2010, Vavic has been named either MPSF or National Coach of the Year (or both) every year but one. His 2004 women’s team won the national championship and became the first team in NCAA

2004

Championship history to go undefeated (29-0). In 1999, 2004 and 2010, Vavic was named the women’s National and MPSF Coach of the Year. Vavic oversaw the team’s move from Division II in 1995 to Division I in 1996. He guided USC to its first-ever Division I National Collegiate Championships appearance in 1997 and a seventh-place national finish while the 1998 team took fifth nationally. In 1999, USC won the national championship, and Vavic was named the National Coach of the Year and the MPSF Coach of the Year. The 2000 squad added another strong showing, finishing second nationally. Vavic came to USC in 1992 as an assistant men’s water polo coach, joined John Williams as co-head coach in 1995 and took over the men’s program in 1999 after Williams retired. He and Williams were named National Coaches of the Year in 1998 after leading USC to its firstever national championship. They were also named MPSF Co-Coaches of the Year in 1996 after leading USC to the conference title. In fact, in the 1998-99 season, Vavic did something no other coach has accomplished as his teams won three national championships: besides capturing the 1998 men’s and 1999 women’s titles, his 1999 men’s club team won the Men’s Senior National Club Championship. In 17 seasons at the helm of the USC men’s program, Vavic has improved his career coaching record on the men’s side to 391-64(.859) with national championships won in 1998, 2003, 2005, 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011. Vavic, a native of Yugoslavia, spent the 1990 season as an assistant men’s coach at UCLA. Previously, he coached three seasons (1987-1990) at Palos Verdes (Calif.) High, where he led Palos Verdes to two undefeated league seasons (1987-89). Vavic also served as assistant coach to the U.S. team at the 1995 World University Games, and was the head coach of the team in 2003. In November 2012, Vavic was named interim head coach of the U.S. Men’s National Team, and led Team USA to World Championship qualification with success at the 2013 UANA World Aquatic Championship Qualification Tournament in Canada. Vavic graduated from UCLA in 1992 with a bachelor’s degree in history. He and his wife, Lisa, have four children: Nikola, Monica, Marko and Stefan.

2013 USC Women’s Water Polo

Welcome to Troy...

The Vision of USC

Did You Know? 路 The USC School of Cinematic Arts (above) was proud to both celebrate its 80th anniversary during the 2009-10 academic year, and open the doors on the first two buildings in its new Cinematic Arts complex, which pays homage to the cinematic history of Southern California and USC. The new Cinematic Arts complex was built, thanks to a $175 million donation by USC alumnus George Lucas. The now-completed complex includes an animation building, soundstages and a production center. 路 In February 2010, the Princeton Review ranked USC's Interactive Media division as the No. 1 video-game design program in North America. Game design formally got its start at USC in 2002, when the USC School of Cinematic Arts launched its MFA in interactive media, although a core game-design workshop had been in place since 1999. In 2004, the school unveiled the Game Innovation Lab, a state-of-the-art research space and think tank for game design and creation. A B.A. in interactive entertainment was first offered in 2005. Today, USC offers four degrees in video-game development at the undergraduate and graduate levels. For the game-play design-focused, the USC School of Cinematic Arts offers the Master of Fine Arts in interactive media and the Bachelor of Arts in interactive entertainment. For the more engineering-oriented, the USC Viterbi School offers the Bachelor of Science in computer science (games) and the Master of Science in computer science (game development).

The University of Southern California is a private research institution of international distinction. It is distinguished by renowned faculty, highly competitive admission standards, an appreciation of the arts and an innovative community service outreach program that was recognized by Time Princeton Review when USC was named College of the Year in 2000 and Newsweek/Kaplan College Guide's "Hot School of 2001." Founded in 1880, it enrolls about 35,000 students annually on two campuses, the 235-acre University Park Campus in Exposition Park and the 50-acre Health Sciences Campus, three miles to the northeast of downtown Los Angeles. USC is a unique and distinguished university with a proud tradition of achievement and unheralded success in all areas of study: USC is a member of the Association of American Universities, a select group of 62 elite public and private universities in the United States and Canada that, together, do about two-thirds of all federally funded research and development. USC has 63 faculty members who are members of national academies. Membership in these prestigious academies, created by Congress, is by election only and is based on a faculty member's distinguished and continuous achievements. The University is the home of 17 professional schools, in addition to the College of Letters, Arts and Sciences. These schools train specialists in fields ranging from medicine and law to architecture, theatre, education and business. USC undergraduates can design degrees from 77 major and 101 minors available in the College of Letters, Arts & Sciences, the Graduate School and Professional Schools. • More than 229,000 living alumni in the Trojan Family • 40 housing facilities available both on and off campus • More than 300 clubs and student organizations • Many of USC's undergraduate/graduate programs rank in the top 10 nationally • 46 fraternities and sororities • One of the nation's best academic reputations.

The Vision of USC Did You Know? · USC was named No. 23 in the nation for the “best national universities” category by U.S. News & World Report in 2010. At 23rd, USC was tied with Carnegie Mellon University. U.S. News listed USC among only five institutions in the American West in the top 25; it also included Stanford (No. 5), the California Institute of Technology (No. 7), the University of California, Berkeley (No. 22) and UCLA (No. 25). From 1991 to date, USC has risen 28 places in the U.S. News rankings. Moreover, the university also was rated as having the third most economically diverse student body among top schools. Two USC schools were singled out in the rankings for quality: The USC Marshall School of Business was ranked No. 10 nationally and was listed as No. 4 in entrepreneurship and No. 5 in real estate. The USC Viterbi School of Engineering was rated 26th overall. · USC’s 2009 entering class is the most academically talented in the university’s 129-year history. Despite a difficult economic environment, demand remained high, with 35,753 applications for 2,869 places in the class. Students’ average standardized test scores are in the 94th percentile as compared to all students in the United States, and their average grade point average is 3.7. USC offers admission without regard to ability to pay, and the university meets 100 percent of the demonstrated need of on-time financial aid applicants. USC has the largest university-funded financial aid budget of any university in the country, providing more than $180 million each year of university funds to undergraduates. Almost 60 percent of USC’s undergraduate students receive some sort of university aid. This represents more than 9,000 students – more than the total undergraduate population of most highly selective private research universities. · USC is one of only two Los Angeles universities to own its own hospital after the university spent $275 million in 2009 to acquire the USC University Hospital and USC Norris Cancer Center. With other hospitals comprising the university's Health Science campus (located east of downtown Los Angeles), the acquisition ensures USC's position among the nation's top-ranked integrated academic medical centers. · USC is the largest private-sector employer in Los Angeles and one of the largest economic engines for the state of California. USC's academic spending alone generates $4.9 billion annually in economic activity in the Los Angeles region and beyond. · With the opening of a new international office in Shanghai, USC has increased its number of Asia offices to four: Shanghai, Hong Kong, Taipei and Tokyo. USC is the nation’s leader in international education, with over 7,000 international students, more than any other U.S. university. Academically, USC’s ties to Shanghai include partnerships with Shanghai Jiao Tong University and the College of Civil Engineering at Shanghai-based Tongji University.

In the summer of 2010, the $100 million Ronald Tutor Campus Center opened at the center of the USC campus. The complex includes a new admission office, alumni center and general meeting space for student groups.

The Trojan Family The extended family of USC is a global network made up of thousands of alumni, students, faculty, and staff, as well as parents of students, SCions (children and grandchildren of alumni), the Board of Trustees, the boards of councilors, donors, athletic fans, and neighborhood partners. But the uniqueness of the Trojan Family isn’t due to its vast numbers. Rather, it’s the extraordinary closeness and solidarity that is found in this genuinely supportive community. To its members, the term “Trojan Family” is more than a phrase: it represents a promise, a commitment to support that is lifelong and worldwide.

USC Alma Mater “All Hail” “All Hail to Alma Mater To thy glory we sing; All Hail to Southern California Loud let thy praises ring; Where Western sky meets Western sea Our college stands in majesty; Sing our love to Alma Mater, Hail, all hail to thee!”

Students

Faculty

USC’s diverse student body is a strength and source of pride. From its earliest days, USC aspired to diversity by instituting policies that assured no student would be denied admission because of race, color, religion, or gender. The university has attracted more international students over the years than any other American university. Currently, 11 percent of USC’s students represent over 110 countries. Equally important is the academic excellence that today’s USC students bring. USC accepted 80 percent of applicants from the top 10 percent of their high schools. The 2009 entering class’ SAT score average between 1930-2150 and GPA average is 3.7. But USC students are more than academic high-achievers. There have been more Trojans in the Olympics than any American university, and over 60 percent of the university’s students volunteer in community-service programs in neighborhoods around campus and throughout LA. Outstanding, well-rounded students are a hallmark of USC.

USC’s faculty members aren’t just teachers of others’ works, but active contributors to what is taught, thought, and practiced throughout the world. The university’s faculty includes Nobel Prize laureate George A. Olah and 63 members of the National Academy of Sciences, National Academy of Engineering, and, Institute of Medicine. More than 200 faculty members have received prestigious academic and professional awards from organizations as varied as National Institutes of Health, the National Science Foundation, the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, the National Endowment for the Humanities, the John Simon Guggenheim Foundation, and the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences.

Did You Know? · USC distributes $343 million in financial aid; over 60 percent of our students receive assistance. · For the academic year, a total of 11 percent of the student body are first-generation college students. And consider this: · The student-to-faculty ratio is 10-to-1. · The average class size is 26 students. · Full-time faculty teach the vast majority of our courses. · Students can get all the classes they need in order to graduate in four years. · USC grads get great jobs, attend the best graduate and professional schools in the country (including our own) and are supported by the Trojan Family - a network of nearly a quarter million alumni.

Alumni USC’s first alumni association was founded in 1885, just a year after the university graduated its first class. Those initial eight men and women paved the way for today’s more than 229,000-member USC Alumni Association. Trojan alumni span all 50 states and virtually every region of the world. As leaders in their communities and professions, they bring recognition to their alma mater. Distinguished alumni include former U.S. Secretary of State Warren Christopher, astronaut Neil Armstrong, architect Frank Gehry, opera singer Marilyn Horne, symphony conductor Michael Tilson Thomas, film director George Lucas, and baseball pitcher Mark Prior. The talents and commitment of its alumni are among USC’s greatest strengths.

Traveler Traveler, the noble white horse that appears at all USC home football games with a regal Trojan warrior astride, is one of the most famous college mascots. Traveler first made an appearance at USC football games in 1961. Bob Jani, then USC’s director of special events, and Eddie Tannenbaum, then a junior at USC, had spotted Richard Saukko riding his white horse, Traveler I, in the 1961 Rose Parade. They persuaded Saukko to ride his white horse during USC games, serving as a mascot. Ever since, whenever USC scores, the band plays “Conquest” and Traveler gallops around the Coliseum. The current Trojan mascot is Traveler VII. Even though the breed of horse may have changed over the years — Travelers I through VI ranged from an Arabian/Tennessee Walker to a pure-bred Tennessee Walker to a pure-bred Arabian to an Andalusian — Traveler’s color has always remained pure white. In the fall of 2004, USC alumnus Bill Tilley ('61) and his wife, Nadine, donated $2 million to provide a permanent endowment to support Traveler. Besides the horses, USC once even had a canine mascot. A mutt named George Tirebiter I (famous for chasing cars through the USC campus) first appeared at football games in 1940. He survived a publicized dognapping by UCLA in 1947, but succumbed under the tires of an automobile in 1950. He was succeeded by George II for three years(1950-52), then George III for one year (1953) and finally George IV for one year (1957).

Tommy Trojan In the center of the USC campus stands one of the most famous collegiate landmarks in the country: Tommy Trojan. Since being unveiled in 1930 for USC’s 50th jubilee, the statue of the bronzed Trojan warrior has served not only as a popular meeting place on campus, but as a symbol of the university’s fighting spirit. Sculpted by Roger Noble Burnham, Tommy Trojan cost $10,000 to build. A $1 surcharge then on season football tickets helped pay for it. The statue is a composite of many USC football players from the late 20s, most notably 1930 Rose Bowl Player of the Game Russ Saunders and

All-American Erny Pinckert. Inscribed on the statue’s base is “THE TROJAN” and the university’s seal, with the Latin motto “Palmam qui meruit ferat (Let him who deserves it bear away the palm).” Below the seal are inscribed the qualities of the ideal Trojan: “Faithful, Scholarly, Skillful, Courageous and Ambitious.”

Cardinal and Gold Before 1895, the official color of USC was gold. The official color of the College of Liberal Arts was cardinal. The college had its own official color because it was the largest academic unit in the University. In 1895, both colors were adopted as USC’s official colors.

“Trojans” USC’s nickname, “Trojans,” originated in 1912. Up to that time, USC’s teams were called the Methodists or Wesleyans, nicknames which were not looked upon with favor by university officials. So, Warren Bovard, director of athletics and son of university president Dr. George Bovard, asked Los Angeles Times sports editor Owen Bird to select an appropriate nickname. “At this time, the athletes and coaches of the university were under terrific handicaps,” recalled Bird. “They were facing teams that were bigger and better-equipped, yet they had splendid fighting spirit. The name ‘Trojans’ fitted them.”

The Spirit Of Troy The Trojan Marching Band - known as “The Spirit of Troy” - is perhaps the most dynamic and innovative collegiate band in the nation. Named among the eight best marching bands in the country by USA Today, the band is one of the most visible tools of the University. Established in 1880, the band has played for seven Presidents, appeared in numerous movies, commercials and television shows, and has even produced several records of its own music. The band marches upwards of 80 miles a year while traveling across the land supporting almost every USC athletic team. A typical football halftime show by the band takes more than 4,000 work hours to prepare. Now 300-plus members strong, the Trojan Marching Band has tripled in size since Dr. Arthur C. Bartner became its director in 1969.

National Championships USC has long dominated the world of intercollegiate athletics. In fact, it could be argued that Troy was the “Collegiate Athletic Program of the 20th Century.” USC men and women have combined for 117 national team titles. Trojan men’s teams are tops in the nation in NCAA championships with 82 — more than any other university. Overall, USC’s men have won 95 national championships. USC has won the National Collegiate All-Sports Championship — an annual ranking by USA Today (previously The Knoxville Journal) of the country’s top men’s athletic programs — six times (1971-7274-75-77-80) since its inception in 1971. USC’s women are also a force, with 23 national team titles, all since 1976. From 1959-60 to 1984-85, USC put together an amazing streak. In each of those 26 years, at least one Trojan team won a national championship (including five crowns in both 1962-63 and 1976-77). Current streaks are held by both the USC men's water polo and tennis teams, who have won five and four straight national championships, respectively.

John McKay Center

In January of 2011, the USC athletic department broke ground on the new John McKay Center, a $70 million, 110,000-square foot facility on the west side of Heritage Hall that houses meeting rooms, coaches offices and a locker room for the football program, as well as an academic center, weight room, athletic training room, and state-of-the-art digital media production facility for all of USC's 21 sports. Construction took 18 months and the building was officially opened on August 21, 2012.

Uytengsu Aquatics Center

USC Athletics celebrated the ceremonious groundbreaking on Nov. 2, 2012 of the $16 million Uytengsu Aquatics Center, made possible by the record $8 million lead gift by former walk-on swimmer and 1983 swim captain Fred Uytengsu. The gift is the largest ever to Athletics from a former student-athlete. The $16 million Uytengsu Aquatics Center will include a new stadium entrance, diving and dryland training areas, men's and women's locker rooms, coaches' offices, meeting rooms, a new scoreboard, permanent seating and renovation of the diving tower and pool deck. It is scheduled to be completed in 2014.
