LOS ANGELES, CA. On paper, it appeared to be a perfect match-up of long-standing rivals. Stanford women\u2019s water polo, its roster stocked with All-Americans and U.S. National Team members, against Cal, a squad rich with accomplished international players, including two Olympians and two national team players.<\/p>\n

\"\"Adding to the intensity of a rivalry between two schools situated across the San Francisco Bay from each other is a recent coaching change; the arrival in Berkeley two years ago of Coralie Simmons<\/strong>. Simmons has motivated her players to aim for that most rarified height of the sport in America: an NCAA title. This is territory upon which no female Golden Bear has trod\u2014the Cal men have won a record 14 NCAA titled. The women’s side, for all intents, been monopolized by the Cardinal who have competed in the last eight championship finals, winning five.<\/p>\n

Actually, make that nine straight NCAA finals that Stanford (20-3) has qualified for. Head Coach John Tanner\u2019s<\/strong> charges withstood a late Cal (20-6) rally to knock off the Golden Bears by a score of 11-7 and book a date today with top-seed USC in the championship match of the 2018 NCAA Women\u2019s Water Polo Tournament.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe took advantage of our opportunities early to open up a lead,”\u00a0Tanner said about a fast start that saw the Cardinal jump to a 6-2 lead at the half.\u00a0\u201cThings got a little dicey along the way but a team that has this much talent in all areas of the pool and all phases of the game isn\u2019t going to be denied for 32 minutes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Leading the charge for second-seeded Stanford\u2014as she has all season\u2014was Olympian\u00a0Makenzie Fischer <\/strong>(Rio Games). Finishing the day with four goals to pad her team leading total to 67, the super sophomore, came up big when her team needed her most. With the Golden Bears desperate for a score to narrow a three-goal deficit, she struck for an incredible seeing-eye goal midway through the third period that goalie Madison Tagg<\/strong>\u00a0(10 saves) simply couldn\u2019t handle, restoring a four-goal Stanford lead.<\/p>\n

Cal, with inspiration from\u00a0<\/strong>Simmons, still had one last run left. Dora Antal<\/strong>\u2014a two-time Olympian for Hungary (2012, 2016)\u2014scored off of an ordinary foul cut her team\u2019s deficit to three. Emma Wright\u2019s<\/strong> lob over Stanford goalie Julia Hermann<\/strong>\u00a0(15 saves) again narrowed the deficit to three, and\u2014following Jordan Raney\u2019s<\/strong> fourth goal of the game, tying her career high\u2014Cal\u2019s Carla Carrega<\/strong> found space in front of the Cardinal cage, hitting for goals on consecutive possessions to cut Stanford\u2019s lead to 9-7.<\/p>\n

\u201cBattling back was about getting better looks at the cage, taking a little more time and attention to detail on our 6-on-5,\u201d Simmons explained.<\/p>\n

But that provided a moment for\u00a0Kat Klass<\/strong>, another of a seemingly endless string of Stanford stars, to step up, handcuffing Tagg with a wicked skip shot to give the Cardinal an insurmountable three-goal lead with two minutes left in the match.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a group of incredibly responsible, determined, competitive women and they have prepared themselves for just those kinds of moments,\u201d their coach said. \u201cThey\u2019ve risen to those challenges throughout their careers. I know people in the stands get all excited about it, but these guys are remarkably calm\u2014you saw that with Kat Klass\u2019 goal to put us back up 10-7 was huge,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

For the depleted Golden Bears, whose efforts to overcome and early four-goal deficit ultimately proved futile, there was a sense of disappointment but also tremendous pride in what had been accomplished in a season that saw Cal hold the country\u2019s top-ranking for the first time since 2000.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a shame that we came up short,\u201d said Kacey Avalos<\/strong>, a Cal attacker now in her fourth year at Berkeley. \u201dI\u2019m really proud of all the work we put in all season and the foundation we\u2019ve laid for the future and for teams to come.<\/p>\n

\u201cCreating that culture, of the team we have right now, is really important for our program. Establishing that with Cora has been an honor.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
