In what was the biggest match of the 2019 women\u2019s NCAA varsity water polo season thus far, on Sunday the Trojans of USC rode roughshod over Stanford, beating the Cardinal 10-8 in the finals of the 2019 Barbara Kalbus Invitational at the UC Irvine Aquatics Center.<\/p>\n

With the win, USC not only extends its current win-streak to a sizzling 33-straight, Jovan Vavic\u2019s<\/strong> team avenges the loss that begat that streak\u2014likely the longest one active in NCAA varsity sports; a 9-3 beating administered by then-No. 1 Stanford in last year\u2019s Kalbus final. It\u2019s the Trojans\u2019 fifth straight-appearance in the finals of the most prestigious college women\u2019s invitational, and the third time in that period they\u2019ve taken top honors.<\/p>\n

In the third-place match, Cal continued its recent strong play, beating UCLA 7-6 in overtime behind double-digit saves from goalie Madison Tagg<\/strong> and assuredly unseating the Bruins as the nations\u2019 third-ranked team.<\/p>\n

That the Trojans, who prior to the Kalbus Invite had been demolishing primarily non-conference opponents, won is not surprising. With a line-up featuring Maud Megens<\/strong> (39 goals), Paige Hauschild<\/strong> (25) and Denise Mammolito<\/strong> (19)\u2014supplemented by newcomers Alejandra Aznar<\/strong> (23) and Bayley Weber<\/strong> (19) and backstopped by reigning Cutino Award winner Amanda Longan<\/strong>\u2014USC is deeper in talent than any team in the country. Stanford boast its own impressive array of scorers, with sisters Mackenzie<\/strong> (47 goals) and Aria Fischer<\/strong> (19) backed up by Sarah Klass<\/strong> (25) and freshman Madison Stamen<\/strong> (22).<\/p>\n

After squeaking by Cal in Saturday\u2019s semifinal, USC appeared vulnerable to an upset. But, as he has so many times in his quarter century leading the Trojan men and women, Vavic had his team well-prepared for the most meaningful game at hand.<\/p>\n

Behind scores from Megens, Aznar and Weber, Stanford found itself in an immediate 3-0 deficit. The Cardinal would rally, getting scores from Klass, Mackenzie Fischer and Ryann Neushul<\/strong> to counter a second Megens goal, cutting USC\u2019s first period lead to one. But the Trojans immediately doubled their lead early in the second period on a goal from Kelsey McIntosh before Klass scored with a minute left before halftime to make it 5-4.<\/p>\n

This pattern repeated itself in the third. Megens completed her hat trick and Hauschild connected, offseting goals byMackenzie Fischer and Cassidy Wiley<\/strong>. Kat Klass<\/strong>\u2014Sarah\u2019s older sibling\u2014finally brought the Cardinal even at 7-all two and a half minutes into the final period of play.<\/p>\n

The tie did not last long, due to another USC burst. Goals on consecutive possessions by Mammolito, Kearns and Hauschild put the Trojans up 10-7 with four minutes remaining. Sarah Klass completed her hat trick to narrow the Cardinal\u2019s deficit to two, but Longans (11 saves) snuffed out any Stanford comeback homes, stuffing Fischer on a penalty shot with 46 seconds left to preserve her team’s margin of victory.<\/p>\n

Cal and UCLA engage in an epic contest for third<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The Golden Bears may have trouble closing out a win against USC, but in the Coralie Simmons<\/strong> era, Cal has demonstrated that beating UCLA, her alma mater, is now a regular occurrence. In beating the Bruins for the third-straight time\u2014after 16-straight losses from 2001 until last season\u2014Simmons\u2019 squad beat back a furious second half comeback effort by\u00a0Adam Wright\u2019s<\/strong> squad. Down 4-0 at intermission, The Bruins climbed back, with freshman Val Ayala<\/strong> knotting the game with three minutes remaining in the fourth period.<\/p>\n

Tagg (10 saves) and Carlee Kapana<\/strong> (10 saves) kept the game tied at 4-all until the end of regulation. In the first overtime period, Maddie Musselman<\/strong> quickly gave UCLA its first lead of the game, but goals by Elli Protopapas<\/strong>\u00a0and Hannah DeRose<\/strong> reestablished Cal\u2019s lead for good. When Kitty Lynn Joustra<\/strong>\u00a0scored early in the second overtime period, the Golden Bears had an insurmountable lead, closing out an inspiring weekend which saw them push top-seeded USC to the brink in a 9-8 loss in a semifinal match on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Hawai\u2019i, Michigan, UCI, LMU, LBSU and SDSU are all winners on Sunday<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Hawai\u2019i rebounded from a Saturday morning loss to Cal with a 10-8 victory over Arizona State leading to a fifth-place match against Pacific, a 14-6 win for the Rainbow Wahine. Michigan captured seventh-place with a win over the Sun Devils, while host UC Irvine beat Big West rival UC Santa Barbara 11-9 for ninth place; after a blazing 9-1 start, the Gauchos have now dropped four of their last seven.<\/p>\n

Loyola Marymount finally had faced a lower-ranked opponent, beating UC San Diego 11-9 for 11th place. Long Beach State closed out its Kalbus interlude by upsetting San Jose State for 13th place, winning 8-7 in overtime. Closing out the tournament, San Diego State triumphed over CSUN, winning 11-4 and taking 15th place.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
