The Collegiate Water Polo Association Men\u2019s Varsity Water Polo<\/a> Top-Ten was unchanged from last week, but a reordering at the top is almost certain to occur this weekend. Two of the nation\u2019s top four teams have competitive matches\u2014against each other.<\/p>\n

That would be the top-ranked Trojans of USC\u20143-0 last week, including a 16-2 thrashing of #5 University of California-Santa Barbara\u2014who travel to Palo Alto to face #3 Stanford on Saturday in the first Mountain Pacific Sports Federation<\/a> (MPSF) match of the 2018 men\u2019s season. On paper, Southern Cal<\/a> (17-0) looks to be the far superior team, having outscored opponents by an astonishing 242 goals (310 scored, 68 allowed). In limited action, the Cardinal<\/a> (8-0) have complied a +96 (137 scored; 41 allowed). Featuring Bennett Williams<\/strong> (25 goals)\u00a0Tyler Abramson<\/strong> (24)\u00a0Ben Hallock <\/strong>(18) and\u00a0Blake Parrish\u00a0<\/strong>(16),\u00a0John Vargas\u2019<\/strong> team has the depth and talent to beat the Trojans; is there enough firepower to overcome Jovan Vavic\u2019s<\/strong> line-up of son Marko<\/strong> (39 goals), Jacob Mercep<\/strong> (31), Zach D\u2019sa<\/strong> (24) and Hannes Daube<\/strong> (23)? Tip-off is 2 p.m. (PST); check out the Pac-12 Network<\/a> for all the action.<\/p>\n

Last weekend #2 UCLA<\/a> (15-0) persevered in a low-scoring match in Stockton, CA\u2014beating #6 Pacific 8-5\u2014then travelled to Davis, where they beat the #8 Aggies of University of California-Davis 12-8. The Bruins return to action tomorrow at the Spieker Aquatics Center against #16 San Jose State. Looming next weekend for Adam Wright\u2019s<\/strong> squad is the MPSF Invitational<\/a>\u00a0(October 12 – 14), also at Stanford, which will feature the top programs in the West.<\/p>\n

The Golden Bears of #4\u00a0Cal<\/a> (12-1) got wins over a pair of ranked opponents\u2014#12 UC Irvine on Friday and #11 Pepperdine on Saturday\u2014to pad a modest four-match win streak. Up next for Kirk Everist\u2019s<\/strong> squad: #19 Loyola Marymount, but not until Friday, October 12 on Day 1 of the MPSF Invitational.<\/p>\n

As mentioned, the Gauchos of UC Santa Barbara<\/a> (12-5) traveled last Sunday to Los Angeles and were decimated by the Trojans, but this weekend the real competition begins; Golden Coast Conference<\/a> action. Later today they will face the Spartans of San Jose State, a dangerous opponent who last season split two regular season match with UC Santa Barbara before Wolf Wigo\u2019s<\/strong> squad took an 18-14 decision in the 2017 GCC tournament, good for fifth place. Next week, the Gauchos will also attend the MPSF Invitational and perhaps continue their upset-minded<\/a> ways.<\/p>\n

Pacific<\/a> (5-5) has a critical GCC match-up this afternoon, as the Tigers travel to Irvine to face the Anteaters and snap a four-game losing skid. And\u2014in a head-scratching scheduling twist\u2014Head Coach James Graham\u2019s<\/strong> squad will face UC Irvine again on Day 1 of the MPSF Invitational; that will be a non-conference match-up but the back-to-back contests against a tough conference opponent may go a long way towards showing how likely the Tigers are to repeat as GCC champions.<\/p>\n

Sweeping their first three road games of Northeast Water Polo Conference (NWPC) play was not an easy feat\u2014especially after losing\u00a0leading scorer\u00a0Austin Sechrest<\/strong> (38 goals) to a red card and Dennis Blyashov<\/strong> (37 goals) to exclusions\u2014but #7 Harvard<\/a>\u00a0(11-3; 3-0 NWPC) persevered in one-goal victories over #12 Princeton and always-dangerous<\/a> St. Francis Brooklyn. The wins cement the Crimsons\u2019 stature as the East\u2019s best team; this weekend\u00a0Ted Minnis\u2019<\/strong> squad gets to defend their home pool against Brown, a rematch with the Tigers, who they beat last Sunday with a golden goal in overtime, and the Engineers of MIT, who would like nothing better than dealing the Crimson a loss in Blodgett. A sweep would put Harvard in the driver\u2019s seat for conference play, but Princeton\u2014learning to adjust to a season without Sean Duncan<\/strong>, their superb hole set\u2014will be a tough out, even in Cambridge.<\/p>\n

The University of California-San Diego<\/a>\u00a0(10-2; 3-0 WWPA) tied with UC Davis for eighth in the CWPA poll\u2014beat Western Water Polo Association<\/a> foe Air Force last Friday; next up for the Tritons is a home match tonight against #16 Cal Baptist. Head Coach Denny Harper\u2019s<\/strong> squad will travel to Avery Aquatic Center to compete in the MPSF Invitational. UC Davis<\/a> (8-4; 2-0 WWPA) will also be at Stanford next weekend; before that, the Aggies will travel to take on WWPA opponent Concordia in Irvine later today.<\/p>\n

Rounding out the top 10 is Long Beach State<\/a> (6-4); the 49ers have had two weeks off to regroup following a three-game slide; at 7 p.m. (PST) today is a Golden Coast Conference match-up with the Waves of Pepperdine. For Head Coach Gavin Arroyo<\/strong>, the layoff is a chance to get his talented young line-up into shape; luckily, they are at home for what might be a pivot point in a season where LBS has hopes of a strong showing in the GCC Tournament.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
