ovan Vavic knew it was coming. The “rebuilding year” is here. Gone are five All-American seniors from the 2013 roster, taking with them a combined grand total of 18 NCAA Championship rings. Gone are USC’s all-time top scorer, an Olympian goalie and three more of the most talented Trojans to date. So why isn’t Vavic worried? Every other coach in his position would be playing the “one game at a time” card. Why is he already happy to start a conversation about winning another NCAA Championship? USC has won six in a row, sure, but isn’t this a dreaded “rebuilding year”? “We really aren’t thinking about rebuilding,” Vavic asserts. “When you have this many good players it would be stupid not to talk about winning. I think we have a team that can win a championship.” Yes, water polo fans, consider the Trojans rebuilt. Rebuilt, remastered, and already ready to win. A huge group of newcomers comprise Vavic’s master stroke, which puts the finishing touches on a USC roster that also boasts a set of returning leaders lined up for starring roles. “This could be the best recruiting class we’ve ever had,” Vavic said of his cast of 22 newcomers, of which he’s already tabbed several as impact players right out of the gates. “We’ve never had this many guys who can play immediately. When you add those guys to our core of returning players, I don’t see why we wouldn’t talk about winning. The Trojans are stocked at every position as they set up their defense of six consecutive national championships. Last year, USC won the MPSF Tournament title and went on to beat Pacific in overtime to claim the 2013 NCAA crown for a 28-4 overall finish. Nick Bell, Rex Butler, Mac Carden, Kostas Genidounias, Max Hurst-Mendoza and Marc Vonderweidt all return from that 2013 NCAA Championship roster, with added reinforcements coming from every angle with this new class joining the ranks. “Our returning guys know how to play together, and the younger guys are respectful of their experience,” Vavic said. “We knew that this would be an important class because it’s a group that will be carrying us the next four years. We spent time picking the right guys. “I think we have all the pieces to win another championship. We have the best player in the country in Kostas Genidounias, the best goalie in the country in McQuin Baron, and the best centers in the country in Mac Carden, Max Hurst-Mendoza and Lachlan Edwards. We also a duo of two of the best lefties in Rex Butler and Grant Stein. And then we have very good defenders. We have great speed and we’re very athletic. We are even bigger than the last couple years. We are just young. But when you have young teams at times it can be an advantage because they forget to think about being afraid.” Quite clearly, it will be the USC opponents who should be afraid, with each spot in the pool balanced by youth and experience for the Trojans. The only position dominated wholly by freshmen is in the cage-- previously occupied by Olympians Joel Dennerley and James Clark for the past six seasons. And yet Vavic is as confident in his goalies as anywhere else. McQuin Baron looms large as the starter, bringing in his 6-foot-9-inch frame fresh from a summer of experience with the U.S National Team. The Trojans could well tag-team the cage, too, as the goalie corps is solid down the line. Ben Goncharenko and Steven Michaud are both standout goalies in their own right and stand to see time in the cage as well. “I think we are better in the cage this year,” Vavic said. “McQuin is already as good as James (Clark), but Ben is not very far behind. And Steven is also very impressive.” Every day in practice, that trio will be tested by some of the biggest guns in the business. Senior All-American Genidounias comes into his final year at Troy ranked No. 4 on USC’s all-time scoring charts. The Cutino Award finalist’s all-around talent is undeniable, but he’s only part of the story in USC’s offensive onslaught. Senior lefty Butler balances out the attack on the opposite side of the pool. Carden and Hurst-Mendoza are proven forces at set. Bell and Vonderweidt also wield dangerous shots of their own from the perimeter. Meanwhile, several more high-powered Trojans have been waiting in the wings for their time to shine. And those are just the faces fans have already seen in the water last year. “We have guys who are hungry. Now it’s their turn. Guys like Luke Felton, Charlie McBee and Andrew Silvers are contributing now as well,” said Vavic, who also has Chase Borisoff, Mitch Embrey, Joe Nelson, Gerrit Hill and Liam Burke coming off of redshirt seasons. “Our program is all about Location:............................. Los Angeles, CA 90089 competition, and they understand it. There’s no jealousy. They all get along.

With 13 national championships won during his tenure at USC, Jovan Vavic has the most team titles of any USC head coach in history. Also solidified as one of the top water polo coaches in the country, Vavic serves a dual role as the head coach of both the USC men’s and women’s teams. He now has led both to national championships four times in the same school year (1998-99, 2003-04, 2009-10 and 2012-13), and has lifted USC to an unprecedented six consecutive men’s national championships with the Trojans’ run to the 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013 titles. He now holds 13 national championships (nine men’s and four women’s), and is a 12-time National Coach of the Year and 10-time MPSF Coach of the Year between the two programs. He also has seen his players win 10 Peter J. Cutino Awards. Now in his 20th season at the helm of the men’s program, Vavic has improved his career coaching record on the men’s side to 448-68 (.868). In his tenure as men’s head coach, Vavic boasts a winning record against all opponents on the men’s side of the game, recording only two losses in 19 years against teams outside the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation. He is 311-66 (.825) against MPSF teams since 1995. The Trojans 2013 campaign was capped by a sixth consecutive NCAA crown — the latest won in an overtime battle with Pacific. The experienced USC squad snatched the title from the Tigers and finished up with a 28-4 overall record after having posted a 5-3 mark in MPSF action. With a roster that would include six 2013 All-Americans, USC finished the year with seven straight wins in also claiming the MPSF Tournament title. For the third time in four years, Vavic’s 2012 team boasted a program-high nine All-Americans — including National Coach of the Year honors for Vavic and the National Player of the Year award for Vavic’s son, Nikola — following USC’s run to a perfect 29-0 season and the 2012 National Championship. In their home pool, the Trojans captured their fifth consecutive title with a heart-stopping 11-10 win over UCLA in the final. Vavic’s 2013 women’s team would go on to complete a dominating year for USC in winning the women’s title. In 2011, the USC men finished off a fourth straight national title run with a 24-3 overall record thanks to a 7-4 win over UCLA in the final. In the calendar year of 2010, Vavic swept both sides of the game, following 2010 National and MPSF Coach of the Year awards on the women’s side with 2010 National and MPSF Coach of the Year with the men in leading the Trojan men to their third consecutive national
2003
championship. The 2010 campaign saw Vavic’s Trojans defy the national predictions of a fourth-place finish in the conference by instead forcing their way to successfully defending their NCAA crowns with a third straight national championship. A 12-10 overtime win over host Cal in the 2010 title match finished off a 28-2 record for the MPSF and NCAA champions. In 2009, Vavic had guided the Trojans to a 26-2 record en route to USC’s second straight national championship. In the 2009 title match, the Trojans beat UCLA 7-6 to win USC’s fifth NCAA championship. Soon after, Vavic was named the National Coach of the Year, and he would see his players sweep the Cutino Awards for the third time in his career, as J.W. Krumpholz and Kami Craig went back-to-back as the 2009 and 2010 Cutino Award winners following the USC women’s run to the 2010 NCAA Championship. In 2008, the USC men were unstoppable. The Trojans claimed the program’s third MPSF Championship on the way to the best season in program history with a 29-0 undefeated mark that culminated in the 2008 NCAA Championship for USC’s fourth national title. Vavic’s 300th career men’s win was notched on Oct. 12, 2008 in a 12-7 win over Cal 12-7 in the SoCal Tournament semifinals. USC posted its first undefeated regular season in 2006, as its overall winning streak reached a program-record 44 straight victories. Vavic was named the MPSF Coach of the Year for the sixth time in his career, and the Trojans finished 2006 with a 26-2 overall record after a last-second loss in the NCAA final. It was USC’s second straight trip to the final, as Vavic had guided the Trojans to their third-ever NCAA Championship and a program-best 26-1 record in 2005. For his success in guiding USC to the NCAA crown in 2005, Vavic was named the National Men’s Coach of the Year. His Trojans also claimed the 2005 MPSF Championship, and Vavic earned himself MPSF Coach of the Year honors as well. At 26-1, USC posted its most wins in history and broke another record by closing out the year on an 19-game winning streak. Vavic came to USC in 1992 as an assistant coach, joined John Williams as co-head coach in 1995 and took over the men’s head coaching reins in 1999 after Williams retired. He and Williams were named National Coaches of the Year in 1998 after leading USC to its first-ever national championship. They also were named MPSF Co-Coaches of the Year in 1996 after leading USC to the conference title. In fact, in the 1998-99 season, Vavic did something no other coach has accomplished as his teams won three national championships. In addition to capturing the 1998 men’s and 1999 women’s titles, his 1999 men’s club team won the Men’s Senior National Club Championship. In 2003, Vavic pulled a coaching double sweep when he was named 2003 National and MPSF Coach of the Year for the men and

2004 National and MPSF Coach of the Year for the women. Vavic has been with the USC women’s program since its inception in 1995, and the 2004 women’s team became the first team in NCAA Championship history to go undefeated (29-0) during the regular season. USC’s 25-3 overall mark in 2010 culminated in the women’s program’s third national championship and 13th straight 20-win season. And in 2013, the Women of Troy played the longest NCAA women’s final in history, beating Stanford in triple sudden-death overtime to win USC’s fourth National Championship. Overall, Vavic’s career record on the women’s side stands at 440-132 (.769) in 19 seasons as head coach. Vavic earned his 300th career win with the Women of Troy in the third-place game of the 2007 NCAA Tournament on May 13, 2007. Vavic oversaw the women’s water polo team’s move from Division II in 1995 to Division I in 1996. In 1999, the USC women captured their first national championship. Since 1999 when the program was fully funded, Vavic’s record is 352-59 (.856). He has swept as National and MPSF Coach of the Year in 1999, 2004 and 2010. Vavic spent the 1990 season as an assistant men’s coach at UCLA. Previously, he coached three seasons (1987-1990) at Palos Verdes High, with two undefeated league seasons (1987-89). Vavic served as a U.S. assistant coach at the 1995 World University Games, and was the head coach of the team in 2003. He also served as interim head coach for Team USA at the 2013 UANA World Aquatic Championship Qualification Tournament. Vavic, a native of Yugoslavia, graduated from UCLA in 1992 with a bachelor’s degree in history. He and his wife, Lisa, have four children: Nikola, Monica, Marko and Stefan.

National Champions
USC became the first collegiate water polo team ever to win six consecutive NCAA championships when the Trojans forced their way into another visit to the title match. Down by two to the upsetminded Pacific, USC came back and won it in overtime 12-11.
USC was host to the 2014 NCAA Tournament, set up to defend not only four straight championships but also to defend its own home waters. Up against rival UCLA again in the final, USC fought out of a three-goal deficit and won it all again. It was the perfect finish to a perfect 29-0 season for the Trojans.

2014 USC Men’s Water Polo
Welcome to Troy...
National Championships USC has long dominated the world of intercollegiate athletics. In fact, it could be argued that Troy was the “Collegiate Athletic Program of the 20th Century.” USC men and women have combined for 122 national team titles. Trojan men’s teams are tops in the nation in NCAA championships with 84 — more than any other university. Overall, USC’s men have won 97 national championships. USC has won the National Collegiate All-Sports Championship — an annual ranking by USA Today (previously The Knoxville Journal) of the country’s top men’s athletic programs — six times (1971-7274-75-77-80) since its inception in 1971. USC’s women are also a force, with 25 national team titles, all since 1976, including two won in 2013 by the water polo and golf teams. From 1959-60 to 1984-85, USC put together an amazing streak. In each of those 26 years, at least one Trojan team won a national championship (including five crowns in both 1962-63 and 1976-77). Impressive recent streaks have been held by both the USC men's water polo and tennis teams. The tennis team won four in a row from 2009-12, and the water polo team has an active streak of six in a row.
Four-time NCAA 100m champion and two-time Olympian Angela Williams
Two-time NCAA champion and four-time Olympic medalist Kaitlin Sandeno
In 2013, USC made history as the first collegiate water polo team to win six straight NCAA titles.

The Trojan Family The extended family of USC is a global network made up of thousands of alumni, students, faculty, and staff, as well as parents of students, SCions (children and grandchildren of alumni), the Board of Trustees, the boards of councilors, donors, athletic fans, and neighborhood partners. But the uniqueness of the Trojan Family isn’t due to its vast numbers. Rather, it’s the extraordinary closeness and solidarity that is found in this genuinely supportive community. To its members, the term “Trojan Family” is more than a phrase: it represents a promise, a commitment to support that is lifelong and worldwide.
USC Alma Mater “All Hail” “All Hail to Alma Mater To thy glory we sing; All Hail to Southern California Loud let thy praises ring; Where Western sky meets Western sea Our college stands in majesty; Sing our love to Alma Mater, Hail, all hail to thee!”
Students
Faculty
USC’s diverse student body is a strength and source of pride. From its earliest days, USC aspired to diversity by instituting policies that assured no student would be denied admission because of race, color, religion, or gender. The university has attracted more international students over the years than any other American university. Currently, 11 percent of USC’s students represent over 110 countries. Equally important is the academic excellence that today’s USC students bring. USC accepted 80 percent of applicants from the top 10 percent of their high schools. The 2012 entering class’ SAT score average between 1950-2190 and GPA average is 3.7. But USC students are more than academic high-achievers. There have been more Trojans in the Olympics than any American university, and over 60 percent of the university’s students volunteer in community-service programs in neighborhoods around campus and throughout LA. Outstanding, well-rounded students are a hallmark of USC.
USC’s faculty members aren’t just teachers of others’ works, but active contributors to what is taught, thought, and practiced throughout the world. The university’s faculty includes Nobel Prize laureate George A. Olah and 63 members of the National Academy of Sciences, National Academy of Engineering, and, Institute of Medicine. More than 200 faculty members have received prestigious academic and professional awards from organizations as varied as National Institutes of Health, the National Science Foundation, the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, the National Endowment for the Humanities, the John Simon Guggenheim Foundation, and the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences.
Did You Know? · USC distributes $389 million in financial aid; over 60 percent of our students receive assistance. · For the 2012-13 academic year, a total of 14 percent of the student body are first-generation college students. And consider this: · The student-to-faculty ratio is 9-to-1. · The average class size is 26 students. · Full-time faculty teach the vast majority of our courses. · Students can get all the classes they need in order to graduate in four years. · USC grads get great jobs, attend the best graduate and professional schools in the country (including our own) and are supported by the Trojan Family - a network of nearly a quarter million alumni.
Alumni USC’s first alumni association was founded in 1885, just a year after the university graduated its first class. Those initial eight men and women paved the way for today’s more than 229,000-member USC Alumni Association. Trojan alumni span all 50 states and virtually every region of the world. As leaders in their communities and professions, they bring recognition to their alma mater. Distinguished alumni include former U.S. Secretary of State Warren Christopher, astronaut Neil Armstrong, architect Frank Gehry, opera singer Marilyn Horne, symphony conductor Michael Tilson Thomas, film director George Lucas, and baseball pitcher Mark Prior. The talents and commitment of its alumni are among USC’s greatest strengths.
Traveler Traveler, the noble white horse that appears at all USC home football games with a regal Trojan warrior astride, is one of the most famous college mascots. Traveler first made an appearance at USC football games in 1961. Bob Jani, then USC’s director of special events, and Eddie Tannenbaum, then a junior at USC, had spotted Richard Saukko riding his white horse, Traveler I, in the 1961 Rose Parade. They persuaded Saukko to ride his white horse during USC games, serving as a mascot. Ever since, whenever USC scores, the band plays “Conquest” and Traveler gallops around the Coliseum. The current Trojan mascot is Traveler VII. Even though the breed of horse may have changed over the years — Travelers I through VI ranged from an Arabian/Tennessee Walker to a pure-bred Tennessee Walker to a pure-bred Arabian to an Andalusian — Traveler’s color has always remained pure white. In the fall of 2004, USC alumnus Bill Tilley ('61) and his wife, Nadine, donated $2 million to provide a permanent endowment to support Traveler. Besides the horses, USC once even had a canine mascot. A mutt named George Tirebiter I (famous for chasing cars through the USC campus) first appeared at football games in 1940. He survived a publicized dognapping by UCLA in 1947, but succumbed under the tires of an automobile in 1950. He was succeeded by George II for three years(1950-52), then George III for one year (1953) and finally George IV for one year (1957).
Tommy Trojan In the center of the USC campus stands one of the most famous collegiate landmarks in the country: Tommy Trojan. Since being unveiled in 1930 for USC’s 50th jubilee, the statue of the bronzed Trojan warrior has served not only as a popular meeting place on campus, but as a symbol of the university’s fighting spirit. Sculpted by Roger Noble Burnham, Tommy Trojan cost $10,000 to build. A $1 surcharge then on season football tickets helped pay for it. The statue is a composite of many USC football players from the late 20s, most notably 1930 Rose Bowl Player of the Game Russ Saunders and
All-American Erny Pinckert. Inscribed on the statue’s base is “THE TROJAN” and the university’s seal, with the Latin motto “Palmam qui meruit ferat (Let him who deserves it bear away the palm).” Below the seal are inscribed the qualities of the ideal Trojan: “Faithful, Scholarly, Skillful, Courageous and Ambitious.”
Cardinal and Gold Before 1895, the official color of USC was gold. The official color of the College of Liberal Arts was cardinal. The college had its own official color because it was the largest academic unit in the University. In 1895, both colors were adopted as USC’s official colors.
“Trojans” USC’s nickname, “Trojans,” originated in 1912. Up to that time, USC’s teams were called the Methodists or Wesleyans, nicknames which were not looked upon with favor by university officials. So, Warren Bovard, director of athletics and son of university president Dr. George Bovard, asked Los Angeles Times sports editor Owen Bird to select an appropriate nickname. “At this time, the athletes and coaches of the university were under terrific handicaps,” recalled Bird. “They were facing teams that were bigger and better-equipped, yet they had splendid fighting spirit. The name ‘Trojans’ fitted them.”
The Spirit Of Troy The Trojan Marching Band - known as “The Spirit of Troy” - is perhaps the most dynamic and innovative collegiate band in the nation. Named among the eight best marching bands in the country by USA Today, the band is one of the most visible tools of the University. Established in 1880, the band has played for seven Presidents, appeared in numerous movies, commercials and television shows, and has even produced several records of its own music. The band marches upwards of 80 miles a year while traveling across the land supporting almost every USC athletic team. A typical football halftime show by the band takes more than 4,000 work hours to prepare. Now 300-plus members strong, the Trojan Marching Band has tripled in size since Dr. Arthur C. Bartner became its director in 1969.

Uytengsu Aquatics Center
USC Athletics celebrated the ceremonious groundbreaking on Nov. 2, 2012 of the $16 million Uytengsu Aquatics Center, made possible by the record $8 million lead gift by former walk-on swimmer and 1983 swim captain Fred Uytengsu. The gift is the largest ever to Athletics from a former student-athlete. The $16 million Uytengsu Aquatics Center includes a new stadium entrance, diving and dryland training areas, men's and women's locker rooms, coaches' offices, meeting rooms, a new scoreboard, permanent seating and renovation of the diving tower and pool deck. In May 2014, the brand-new venue was host to the 2014 NCAA Women's Water Polo Championships.
