The Collegiate Water Polo Association\u2019s Week Nine poll<\/a> of the country\u2019s top varsity women\u2019s programs is out and\u2014in contrast with the turmoil within USC\u2019s men\u2019s and women\u2019s polo program\u2014it’s relatively placid in the CWPA Top Ten.<\/p>\n

After perhaps the most dramatic week in program history<\/a>, the top-ranked Trojans will take the weekend off and be spectators to what will be a closely-watched affair this coming Monday when former head coach Jovan Vavic will appear before a federal magistrate in Boston to answer for the charge of conspiracy to commit racketeering.<\/p>\n

Against this backdrop, USC<\/a> (20-0)\u2014now coached on an interim basis by long-time Vavic assistant Casey Moon<\/strong>\u2014will prepare to defend a winning streak that has ballooned to 36-straight on Saturday, March 30. This match was already highly anticipated; with the drama surrounding Vavic\u2019s firing and implication in the massive Varsity Blues scandal<\/a>, it’s a must-see event. The prospective audience at Uytengsu Aquatics Center will not include Carol Folt<\/strong>, who just two days ago was named Southern Cal\u2019s 12th president.<\/p>\n

And what of the #2 Cardinal<\/a> (12-1; 2-0 MPSF)? They have two warm-up matches over the next few days; tomorrow afternoon against #18 Harvard and then Monday afternoon against #10 UC Irvine. It seems inconceivable that, with their main antagonist wounded by one of the worst academic scandals in recent memory, that Head Coach John Tanner<\/strong> and his talented bunch would look past relatively minor opponents\u2026 but, this season apparently nothing is certain.<\/p>\n

UCLA<\/a> (19-3; 3-0 MPSF) moved back into the #3 spot two weeks ago on the strength of a home win against Mountain Pacific Sports Federation (MPSF) rival Cal. Since then, the Bruins have moved out to 3-0 in the MPSF, and they too hope to trade on Trojan misery. They\u2019ll have to wait their turn; UCLA also has the weekend off and must face #7 Pacific next Friday and then Stanford and San Jose State the following weekend before what will likely be an over-hyped game with USC on April 20 at Spieker Aquatics Center in Westwood.<\/p>\n

Cal<\/a> (12-3; 0-1 MPSF), the nation\u2019s #4 team, is in action tomorrow against MPSF foe #19 San Jose State. The Golden Bears have an exhibition match on Tuesday against UC Santa Barbara and will then travel to Hawai\u2019i for a match-up with the Rainbow Wahine, who they\u2019ve already beaten twice this season.<\/p>\n

#5 Hawai\u2019i<\/a> (12-4; 1-0 Big West) would love to close the gap against Cal, and a 12-10 loss in February followed by an 11-10 loss in March may be a leading indicator. First, the Rainbow Wahine will take on Big West foe CSUN tomorrow as they look to shake off back-to-back losses to the Golden Bears and the Trojans.<\/p>\n

The game of the week is #6 Michigan<\/a> (14-8) versus #22 (T) Indiana<\/a> (5-12; 0-4 MPSF) tomorrow in Ann Arbor. Not that these two teams are at the same level; it\u2019s more of a grudge match between rivals in Big Ten sports like football and basketball\u2014and ex-rivals in CWPA. There\u2019s no question that in this match-up the Wolverines are clear favorites over the Hoosiers; the reality though is that by leaving Michigan and the CWPA behind, Indiana Head Coach Ryan Castle has taken a bold step towards the future. The reward is great but, right now at least, the risk appears greater; the Hoosiers have been pummeled by member of its new conference, the MPSF, losing all four games thus far by a cumulative score of 69-12. And there\u2019s still two remaining.<\/p>\n

The pain is to be paid in promise: prospective players who will make for a brighter future for Indiana polo\u2014and a clear distinction between two Midwestern universities seeking to break into the upper ranks of the women\u2019s scene. Michigan is already there, but now they\u2019ll have to fight that much harder to ensure that top talent chooses Ann Arbor and NOT Indianapolis.<\/p>\n

#7 Pacific<\/a> (7-7) will play it’s first conference match today against Golden Coast Conference foe #13 Fresno State. This could be a trap game for the Tigers; they\u2019ve played four of their 14 matches against Michigan (losing three) and their only signature win was over host UC Irvine in the Barbara Kalbus Invitational. Plus, a non-conference match with UCLA looms next Friday; while it\u2019s not likely that Head Coach James Graham<\/strong> would let his team look ahead, it\u2019s also not impossible.<\/p>\n

After an up and down start to its season, #8 Arizona State<\/a> (10-8; 1-2 MPSF) has a break before hosting the ASU Invitational #2 next weekend. With three matches against lesser opponents San Diego State, Siena and MPSF foe San Jose State, the Sun Devils should pad the win column\u2014especially because a match-up with top-ranked USC in Los Angeles awaits on April 13.<\/p>\n

#9 UC Santa Barbara<\/a> (16-5; 1-0 Big West) and #10 UC Irvine<\/a> (12-7; 0-1 Big West) are almost interchangeable; in fact the Big West rivals have already leap-frogged each other in the polls a couple of times this season. Right now, the Gauchos are on top by virtue of their 6-5 win over the Anteaters two weeks ago. On Monday they play a non-conference match against and an exhibition on Tuesday against Cal.<\/p>\n

UCI has a non-conference match up Monday with Stanford before playing Big West rival CSUN next Saturday; the Anteaters then face Hawai\u2019i on April 6 in a rematch of last year\u2019s Big West Championship match, won by UCA in sudden death overtime. Meaning, there\u2019s a lot more exciting action to look forward to in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
