The 2018 NCAA Men\u2019s Water Polo Tournament has moved to Palo Alto, California for games starting this afternoon\u2014and the two quarterfinal matches will be streamed live on the Pac-12 Network<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"ncaa-logo-50years\"<\/p>\n

This is awesome news for those of us who cannot be at Stanford for a 4 p.m. EST match between Long Beach State (13-11; champions of the Golden Coast Conference) and UC San Diego (19-5; champions of the Western Water Polo Association) or a 5:45 p.m. EST match between UCLA (22-4; at-large NCAA berth) and George Washington (23-6; champions of the Mid-Atlantic Water Polo Conference).<\/p>\n

To watch either of these matches live, please go to this link<\/a> for the Pac-12 Network<\/p>\n

The venue, Avery Aquatic Center, is among the country\u2019s finest, so these match-ups will be as good as it gets for conditions and audience. For the programs, the contrasts could not be more pronounced. UC San Diego, under Head Coach Denny Harper<\/strong>, has enjoyed a remarkable year, twice beating top WWPA rival UC Davis\u2014including when it counted most: in the WWPA title match. Led by Connor Turnbow-Lindenstadt<\/strong> and Skyler Munatones<\/strong>, the Tritons earned a bye into the NCAA quarterfinals so have had two weeks to rest-up.<\/p>\n

Long Beach State endured a tough stretch in the middle of the season, when the 49ers dropped five straight, but Head Coach Gavin Arroyo righted the ship at the perfect time. His team, led by seniors Austin Stewart<\/strong> and Keegan Wicken<\/strong> as well as newcomer Garrett Zaan<\/strong>, has peeled off seven straight wins, including a first round dismantling of Pomona-Pitzer by the score of 12-5.<\/p>\n

According to Steven Munatones<\/strong>, a keen observer of the sport since his playing days at Harvard in the 80s, both match-ups have much to offer in terms of competition and intrigue.<\/p>\n

\u201cLong Beach State can return to its previous level with a win vs. UCSD and a good showing vs. Stanford,\u201d Munatones wrote in a recent email. \u201c\u00a0UCSD can set the stage for its elevation to Division I with a win vs. Long Beach State.\u201d<\/p>\n

Spoiler alert: Munatone\u2019s son Sklyer is a key contributor for the Tritons BUT he\u2019s clearly not engaging in self-interest. This should be a great battle between too evenly-matched teams; one consideration: UC San Diego is the last non-MPSF<\/a> team to make it to an NCAA final, when they beat USC in 2000. Today\u2019s match may springboard the Tritons back into contention as the nation\u2019s best.<\/p>\n

Speaking about the evening\u2019s match-up between the Bruins\u2014defending national champions\u2014and the Colonials, who last week won their first-ever NCAA men\u2019s water polo tournament match, Munatones saw a silver lining no matter what the score.<\/p>\n

\u201cGW can attract more players and attention in the short- and long-term with a good showing vs. UCLA.”<\/p>\n

The Colonials features Atakan <\/strong>Destici<\/strong> and Andrew Mavis<\/strong>, who have combined this season for 164 goals. Head Coach Barry King’s squad has enjoyed a great run<\/a> in 2018 and hope to hang tough with UCLA, which features a host of top goal scorers, including Nicolas Saveljic<\/strong>, Quinten Osborne<\/strong> and Ashworth Molthen<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

But offense is not likely what will decide this match; it will be on the long arms of Bruin goalie Alex Wolf<\/strong>, generally considered the nation\u2019s best collegiate goalie.<\/p>\n

Waiting in the wings are top seed Stanford, who will play the UCSD \/ LBS winner, and #2 USC, which gets the UCLA \/ GW victor. The semifinals will be held on Saturday and will also be streamed by Pac-12 Network.<\/p>\n
