LOS ANGELES, CA. There were no changes in the Top Ten in the Collegiate Water Polo Association\u2019s weekly Top 25 poll<\/a>\u2014but action this week could result in a great deal of movement. To kick it off, the nation’s top two teams are playing tomorrow in Los Angeles; #1 USC will seek to extend a 36-match winning streak against #2 Stanford at the Uytengsu Aquatics Center. But much more in store on a weekend when conference rivalries\u2014and the race for NCAA Women\u2019s Water Polo Tournament berths\u2014takes center stage.<\/p>\n

[Stanford vs. USC: Tale of the Water Polo Tape]<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

There\u2019s much to be said about the situation at USC<\/a> (20-0)\u2014though with an on-going investigation no one’s gone on the record about the biggest story in the sport in a decade. Speculation is wildly rampant regarding additional fallout\u2014including sanctions and loss of championship hardware\u2014from the allegations against former head coach Jovan Vavic<\/strong>. This weekend, there\u2019s only ONE thing to worry about for Interim Head Coach Casey Moon\u2019s<\/strong> squad: The Cardinal of Stanford. Given the talent on this year\u2019s squad, and a rally \u2018round the flag approach for anyone associated with both the Trojan women\u2019s and men\u2019s program, it will not be surprising if this turns into a lop-sided contest\u2014though in the last four matches between the programs, all won by the Trojans, the difference has been six goals.<\/p>\n

#2 Stanford<\/a> (14-1; 2-0 MPSF) is as consistent a team as there is in the country, and of losses losses the past three years five have been to USC. Loaded with experienced stars like Aria<\/strong> and Makenzie Fischer<\/strong>, Kat Klass <\/strong>and\u00a0Madison Berggren<\/strong> as well as impressive newcomers such as Ryann Neushul<\/strong> and Madison Stamen<\/strong>, the Cardinal must be bursting with anticipation for tomorrow\u2019s match. What makes this contest appealing is that the Cardinal have a huge edge in coaching; Head Coach John Tanner\u2019s been at this for 21 seasons and is sure to pull out all the stops to knock off his program\u2019s main nemesis, especially when they\u2019re so vulnerable.<\/p>\n

Unlike other Mountain Pacific Sports Federation (MPSF) teams, UCLA<\/a> is not playing a conference foe. Today at the Spieker Aquatics Center, the #3 Bruins (19-3; 3-0 MPSF) will face #7 Pacific in their final non-conference match-up of the season. MPSF results are most important to Head Coach Adam Wright<\/strong>, but a contest against a foe like the Tigers is yet another measuring stick of where Wright\u2019s team is a little over a year into his tenure as women\u2019s coach. With matches remaining against Stanford, San Jose State\u2014and a season finale against arch-rival USC\u2014the Bruins may be tempted to look past the Tigers, but after tough non-conference matches earlier this season, they won\u2019t.<\/p>\n

After MPSF losses to USC and UCLA, #4 California<\/a> (13-3; 1-1 MPSF) will get another crack at the top next month, when they face Stanford, their biggest rival, in the annual Big Splash contest that concludes the regular season. If the Golden Bears have any hope of avoiding the top-seed in both the MPSF and NCAA tournaments, they\u2019ll need to win out the rest of the regular season, and tomorrow\u2019s non-conference match against Hawai\u2019i in Honolulu represents a big opportunity reaffirm the gap between the Big Four and everyone else in NCAA varsity polo.<\/p>\n

#5 Hawai\u2019i<\/a> (13-4; 2-0 Big West) quickly recovered from yet another loss to USC\u2014the 24th straight defeat at the hands of the Trojans\u2014and beat Big West foe California State University at Northridge (CSUN). Now comes a pivotal match with Cal; a win will push the Rainbow Wahine up into the fourth spot in the polls and may reward Maureen Cole\u2019s team with an NCAA berth no matter how they fare in the Big West tournament. But putting too much stock in this match may be short-sided, as next weekend Hawai\u2019i travels to Irvine for a Big West contest against UC Irvine; the Anteaters upset them in last year\u2019s Big West final, so that\u2019s perhaps more important than beating Cal.<\/p>\n

The Michigan<\/a> (15-8) has shown all season that it can compete with the nation\u2019s best; now the Wolverines have to take care of business in their own conference. After pummeling ex-Collegiate Water Polo Association rival Indiana 16-8, Head Coach Marcelo Leonardi<\/strong> will need his team to focus on CWPA foes Brown, Princeton and St. Francis, PA.\u2014who they\u2019ll play next weekend at Harvard. He\u2019ll also likely have to ignore the pundits who suggest that his success recruiting foreign athletes, California roots and success in Ann Arbor make him a candidate to lead the Trojan women at USC.<\/p>\n

Speculation about the future Southern Cal coach has also fallen on James Graham<\/strong>, Pacific men\u2019s and women\u2019s coach . Smart, articulate and focused. in 2013 his men were the last non-Pac 12 squad to advance to an NCAA final. Yet another coach touted for his ability to recruit international players, what makes Graham attractive is why his squad will not let up against UCLA\u2014or anybody. He\u2019s a fierce competitor who wants to prove that Pacific<\/a> (8-7- 1-0 GCC) belongs in the discussion regarding the nation\u2019s best, and he\u2019s got a chance to make a statement against the Bruins.<\/p>\n

Arizona State<\/a> (10-8; 1-2 MPSF) has had a tough year, with non-conference losses to Hawai’i, Mishigan and UC Santa Barbara. But, given time, Head Coach Todd Clapper can prepare his team to be competitive with its MPSF rivals. With the opportunity to capture three wins this weekend against San Diego State, Siena and MPSF foe San Jose State, the Sun Devils should be well equipped for an April 13th showdown against USC\u2014where they\u2019ll look to tag the Trojans with a loss for the first time in three years.<\/p>\n

Holding down the CWPA #9 spot is UC Santa Barbara. The Gauchos<\/a> (18-5; 1-0 Big West) have soared as high as seventh in the polls, but as the season winds down, the only numbers that matter are their scores against Big West opponents. With a win already against UC Irvine, a victory over #11 UC Davis will buoy Head Coach Serela Kay\u2019s<\/strong> squad as they look for top seeding in their conference tournament. The difference maker for UCSB\u2019s season will be how they far against Hawai\u2019i\u2014the Big West\u2019s other heavyweight. That match will come in two weeks in Honolulu.<\/p>\n

The looming tournament threat for all of the Anteater\u2019s (13-8; 0-1 Big West) Big West foes is Mary Brooks<\/strong>. The conference\u2019s best player in 2016 and 2017, Brooks took a break and watched as her UC Irvine teammates won without her. Now she\u2019s back and\u2014with 38 goals in 21 games, it safe to say that red-shirt senior will have a huge impact on her team down the stretch. Couple this with Head Coach Dan Klatt\u2019s ability to get the most out of his players when it counts, including titles the past Xtwoyears and no one in the Big West should get too comfortable\u2014including CSUN, who the Anteaters face tomorrow in Northridge.<\/p>\n
