After marching unopposed this season to 17 wins, on Saturday in Palo Alto USC ran into a determined Stanford squad, which claimed a 13-11 decision over the nation’s top-ranked squad.<\/p>\n

The host Cardinal, which at one point enjoyed a five-goal advantage behind four scores from super sophomore Ben Hallock<\/strong>, withstood an offensive explosion by Trojan newcomer Hannes Daube<\/strong> (6 goals). With 31 seconds remaining in the match,\u00a0Tyler Abramson<\/strong> ended Daube’s heroics, beating USC goalie Nic Porter <\/strong>to put\u00a0the final touch on a huge win for third-ranked Stanford.<\/p>\n

With the loss, the top-ranked Trojans<\/a> (17-1; 0-1 MPSF), who previously this season had outscored opponents by an astounding 242 goals, will certainly drop from the top of the Collegiate Water Polo Association rankings<\/a>, while the #3\u00a0Cardinal<\/a> (9-0; 1-0 MPSF) may very well leap over #2 UCLA\u2014a 11-8 winner yesterday against #17 San Jose State\u2014to claim the nation\u2019s top polo spot.<\/p>\n

John Vargas<\/strong>\u2019 squad came into its first Mountain Pacific Sports Federation<\/a> match with an 8-0 record and a win over #5 UC Santa Barbara\u2014relatively meager results compared to USC\u2019s recent resume of success which includes two wins over the Gauchos, one a dominating 16-2 home decision last week. Jovan Vavic\u2019s<\/strong> squad has tremendous offensive potential, led by son Marko (39 goals) and lefty transfer Jacob Mercep<\/strong> (37).<\/p>\n

Stanford may not have had substantial game experience in 2018 but they have Hallock, who at just 20 years of age already has an Olympic appearance\u2014the 2016 Games in Rio\u2014and 2017 MPSF Player of the Year honors to his credit. He and his teammate Dylan Woodhead<\/strong> also gained valuable experience<\/a> last month representing Team USA at an international tournament<\/a> in Berlin. Playing against some of the world\u2019s best players helped sharpened their respective skills for this opening match of NCAA varsity water polo’s toughest conference.<\/p>\n

Woodhead opened the scoring three minutes in, but USC\u2019s Matt Maier<\/strong> tied it up a minute later on the power play\u2014one of seven Trojan scores with the man advantage. The teams would trade goals over the remainder of the period, as Hallock wrapped two scores around a goal by Blake Parrish<\/strong>, while Mercep and Daube beat Cardinal goalie Oliver Lewis<\/strong>. Host Stanford ended the period with a one goal advantage.<\/p>\n

Period two indicated the depth of the threat to the Trojans’ unblemished record. Hallock gave Stanford a two-goal edge at the\u00a0 6:53 mark, followed\u00a0a minute later by a score from freshman AJ Rossman<\/strong>, who beat Porter with his team a man-up. Mercep converted on the power play\u2014thanks to a nifty helper from Dauber\u2014but Abramson connected halfway through the period to put Stanford up 7-4. Daube answered to keep the deficit at two, then Mercep cut it to one on yet another power play score. But with 20 seconds left in the half, freshman Jackson Seybold<\/strong> restored the Cardinal’s\u00a0 two-goal lead with a laser blast past Porter.<\/p>\n

Vavic, who has been rotating four goalies in an attempt to replace\u00a0McQuin Baron<\/strong>, the program’s all-time saves leader whose Trojan career ended last spring, swapped in freshman Sam Krutonog<\/strong> after intermission, a decision that proved disastrous. The Harvard-Westlake\u00a0High School graduate was unable to record a single save as Seybold, Quinn Woodhead<\/strong>, Hallock and Marco Stanchi<\/strong> all scored. The Cardinal outburst was offset by\u00a0Sawyer Rhodes<\/strong> in his return to Avery Aquatic Center. The lefty attacker\u2014who played last year for Vargas before transferring to Southern Cal\u2014kept the deficit from ballooning beyond five.<\/p>\n

Compounding the Trojan\u2019s misery was a sequence mid-way through the period that was purely a product of frustration. Two-meter man Jake Ehrhardt<\/strong> fouled out, leading to Stanchi\u2019s score with the man advantage. After the USC bench was assessed a yellow card, Mercep then let his frustration show, drawing a game misconduct for punching a Stanford player at the two minute mark.<\/p>\n

If not for late-game heroics by Daube, the Trojans would have absorbed a tremendous beating. But, starting from the last minute of the third period, the freshman almost literally strapped his teammates on his back, hitting on four straight goals to bring USC back within one. Daube\u2019s successful conversion of a five-meter penalty with less than two minutes remaining cut the Stanford lead to 12-11, though his heroics would not have been possible without a furious Trojan defensive effort that kept the home team scoreless for almost 10 minutes.<\/p>\n

But, victory was not in the cards today for Troy. Abramson beat Porter\u2014who had returned to the USC cage for the game’s final eight minutes\u2014ending the Cardinal scoring draught and sealing his team\u2019s first win over Southern Cal since 2014, a span of eight matches. These two teams will likely meet again at Avery next week, as Stanford hosts the MPSF Invitational<\/a>, which will include nine of the country’s top ten teams.<\/p>\n

Who knows how the national rankings will change once UCLA, #4 Cal, #5 UC Santa Barbara, #6 Pacific, #8 (T) UC San Diego, #8 (T) UC Davis and #10 Long Beach State mix it up over three days on The Farm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
