On a rare rainy day in Southern California, the men\u2019s water polo action in the Spieker Aquatics Center pool was anything but tepid, with a number of compelling matches taking place on Day Two of the 2019 Mountain Pacific Sports Federation (MPSF) Invitational.<\/p>\n

Led by a much-anticipated match-up between #1 UC Santa Barbara and #2 UCLA, an early season trend of major upsets to the traditional men\u2019s water polo hierarchy known as the \u201cBig Four\u201d was blunted. The host Bruins\u2014who have won three NCAA titles over the last five years\u2014emerged on top of the upstart Gauchos, while he Cardinal of Stanford, runner-ups in last year’s national championship, weathered an upset bid by Pacific. Both emerged as finalist for the this year\u2019s MPSF Invite final, leaving UCSB and Pacific to battle for third place.<\/p>\n

Number 1 vs. Number 2 for the 2nd straight week<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Saturday\u2019s marquee game was always going to be the top-ranked Gauchos of UCSB and the host Bruins of UCLA if both teams won early morning games\u2014which they did. UCLA opened play with a decisive 12-9 win over MPSF rival Cal, as Jake Cavano<\/strong> tallied four times and\u00a0Ashworth Molthen<\/strong> had two scores.<\/p>\n

The Gauchos followed suit, beating Pepperdine for the third time this season and stretching their season-opening win streak to fifteen in a 14-10 win over the Waves. Leading the way as he has all season for Head Coach Wolf Wigo\u2019s<\/strong> squad was Cole Bronsan<\/strong> with two goals and an assist. Also chipping in with two goals apiece were Jacob Halle<\/strong> and Leo Yuno<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

On the other side of the bracket were USC, Pacific, Stanford and Long Beach State. The Trojans\u2014defensing MPSF Invite champs\u2014were knocked out of top honors this year by the Tigers, who got a monster performance from Jeremie Cote<\/strong> (five goals and an assist) as well as four-goal games from Engin Ege Colak<\/strong> and Luke Pavillard<\/strong> to beat Southern Cal 16-15.<\/p>\n

Stanford had its hands full with the 49ers, as they rallied from a four-goal deficit late in the fourth quarter before running out of time in a 14-13 loss. Leading the way for the Cardinal were Tyler Abramson<\/strong> and AJ Rossman<\/strong>, who each had four goals and three assists. Rafael Real Vergara’s<\/strong> six goals for Long Beach State, setting the stage for a Stanford versus Pacific semifinal opposite UCSB and UCLA.<\/p>\n

The Gauchos, ranked #1 by the CWPA for the first time in program history, and the Bruins, who are very familiar with being the nation\u2019s best, squared off in the rain at Spieker. The back and forth match was as good as advertised, coming down to the final minute, when Molthen\u2014who has become Head Coach Adam Wright\u2019s<\/strong> go-to scorer\u2014deliver the tie-breaking goal in a 9-8 win that put the Bruins in the finals for the first time since 2017. Molthen led UCLA with three goals and two assists, but the standout performer for Wright was goalie Alex Wolf<\/strong>, who had a season-high 13 saves. Sam Nagle<\/strong> scored twice for the Gauchos, while Ivan Gvozdanovic<\/strong> contributed five assists.<\/p>\n

Stanford joined UCLA in the final by virtue of a 15-14 decision over Pacific. Ben Hallock<\/strong> was unstoppable for Head Coach John Vargas\u2019<\/strong> squad, with six tallies. Abramson had three goals and three assists, while Matthew Hosmer<\/strong> had four goals, and Cote had two goals and three assists in a losing effort\u2014the first time this season the Tigers have been beat.<\/p>\n

Lots to be decided Sunday<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Spieker will be the site of the today’s final, when UCLA and Stanford will play at 1 p.m. PST. UCSB and Pacific will square off for third place at 11:30 a.m.; California versus USC and Long Beach State against Pepperdine will take place earlier in Westwood.<\/p>\n

Over at Loyola Marymount\u2019s Burns Center Pool, San Jose State will face Air Force, Pomona-Pitzer and Princeton will play, the host Lions will look to finish with a win over UC Irvine, and UC Davis and UC San Diego\u2014bitter rivals in the Western Water Polo Association\u2014will look to see who takes round two of their battles; the Tritons won the first meeting at San Diego.<\/p>\n
