LOS ANGELES, CA. USC Head Coach Jovan Vavic<\/strong> has had many great offensive players in his 24 seasons in Troy. But he has never had a freshman offensive threat as dominating as Paige Hauschild<\/strong>. In yet another eye-opening display, the Santa Barbara native joined with Brianna Daboub<\/strong> to kick start a Trojan offensive explosion in the opening period, as USC (25-1) raced out to a 5-2 lead and were never headed in beating the Bruins (23-8) for the fourth time this season\u2014a program first\u2014by the score of 10-6.<\/p>\n

\"\"With the win, USC will face Stanford for the national championship today in the Uytengsu Aquatics Center.<\/p>\n

Vavic was effusive with praise for his freshman phenom, who not only was an obvious choice asMountain Pacific Sports Federation (MPSF) Newcomer of Year, but was recently named a finalist for the Peter J. Cutino Award, the top honor for NCAA water polo athletes.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe\u2019s one of the best freshmen who\u2019s ever played Division I water polo,\u201d he said. \u201cShe\u2019s dominant in every aspect: defense, offense, finishing. She never loses a sprint. She\u2019s just a complete player.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m very fortunate that she chose us.\u201d<\/p>\n

With the score knotted at one, USC scored on three straight possessions\u2014a power-play strike by Hayley McKelvey<\/strong>, a blistering blast by Hauschild, and another score with the man advantage, this time by Denise Mammolito<\/strong>\u2014 to take a 4-1 lead. A Daboub goal, her second of the period, gave the host Trojans a 5-2 lead that was expanded to 7-2 by intermission.<\/p>\n

UCLA fought gallantly but were shorthanded due to the continued absence of leading scorer Maddie Musselman<\/strong>, who sat out NCAAs due to an undisclosed ailment. As UCLA Head coach Adam Wright<\/strong> noted after the game, his team\u2019s job was to stifle the USC offense, but\u2014given the impressive firepower the Trojans wield, that task proved monumental.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs I told you yesterday, if we were going to get this done we had to be tough on defense,\u201d Wright said. \u201cIt was a tale of two halves. We created a lot of opportunities in the first half; we just couldn\u2019t get the ball in.\u201d<\/p>\n

Without Musselman, the Bruins\u2019 offense struggled mightily, getting two goals apiece from Devin Grab<\/strong> and Alexis Angermund<\/strong> and single scores from Bronte Halligan<\/strong> and Lizette Rozeboom<\/strong>. Adding to UCLA\u2019s scoring woes was the presence in net of Amanda Longan<\/strong>. In 21 appearance this season, the 2018 MPSF Player of the Year has given up an average of five goals a game, and only once have the Trojans allowed double-digits in goals scored; against Stanford in a 13-12 OT win<\/a> two weeks ago in the MPSF final. The Trojan defensive pressure was ferocious, and having Longan\u2014also a Cutino Award Finalist\u2014between the USC pipes dampened any comeback hopes the Bruins might have harbored.<\/p>\n

A season of superlatives\u2014a lone loss, absolutely dominant performances on both ends of the pool, and a fifth MPSF title\u2014will go for naught if USC cannot get past a Stanford squad that over the years has proven remarkably resilient. All-time, The Cardinal own a 35-34 edge over the Trojans, but\u2014if past performance is any indicator of future success\u2014the last two times Vavic\u2019s team has won the MPSF crown (2013, 2016), they\u2019ve gone on to capture the national time.<\/p>\n

Their opponent in those NCAA finals? Stanford.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
