COACHING STAFF Prior to his tenure as head coach, Wright was a four-year letterwinner at UCLA from 1997-2000, helping lead the Bruins to back-to-back NCAA titles in 1999 and 2000. He totaled 128 goals in his four seasons and was a two-time All-American. Following his collegiate career, he served as a key member on the USA National Team, participating in the 2004, 2008 and 2012 Olympic Games. He helped lead Team USA to a seventh-place finish in 2004 (Athens) and to a silver medal in 2008 (Beijing). Wright continued training with the USA National Team while serving as UCLA’s head coach and retired as a player after competing at the 2012 Olympics in London.

ADAM

WRIGHT Head Coach Fifth Season at UCLA UCLA ‘01

Wright got his coaching start as an assistant coach with the varsity boys and girls water polo teams at Wilson High School (Long Beach, Calif.) from 2001-04. He helped coach the boy’s program to four consecutive CIF Division I championships and Moore League titles and also guided the girl’s team to two Moore League titles.

As a senior at UCLA in 2000, Wright scored 39 goals before earning honorable mention All-America acclaim and second-team All-MPSF honors. In 1999, he secured third-team All-America and second-team All-MPSF honors. That season, Wright led UCLA in assists (27) and was second in total points (48) and steals (39).

Adam Wright, who has coached the UCLA men’s water polo team to NCAA Championships in 2014, 2015, 2017, and 2020, had his role expanded to include the UCLA women’s water polo team, then Director of Athletics Dan Guerrero announced July 20, 2017. Wright, who enters his fifth season as the head coach of the UCLA women’s water polo team in 2022, sports an overall record of 81-22 (.786) with the Bruin women.

In his first two seasons, he scored 43 goals - 26 as a freshman and 27 as a sophomore. He gained second-team All-America honors in 1998 and was an honorable mention All-America and All-MPSF selection as a freshman in 1997.

Wright graduated from UCLA in 2001 with degrees in history and sociology.

He led UCLA to a 15-5 overall record and a 9-3 mark in the MPSF in a shortened 2021 season with the Bruins ranked No. 2 in the final CWPA poll. The Bruins defeated defending NCAA Champion Stanford in the NCAA semifinals before falling to USC in the title game. It was UCLA’s first appearance in the NCAA finals since 2017.

Following his collegiate career, Wright competed in the European League (Italy and Russia for Bissolati Cremona, Civitavecchia SNC, Nuoto Catania and Dynamo Moscow from 2004-08. He has competed for the U.S. National Team in all major tournaments from 2001-11, helping lead Team USA to the gold medal at the 2003 and 2007 Pan American Games as well as the 2005 ASUA Cup (Mexico City).

He guided the Bruins to a 19-2 overall record and a 2-0 mark in the MPSF in a shortened 2020 season with the Bruins ranked No. 2 in the final CWPA poll. The Bruins defeated No. 1 and defending NCAA Champion USC on the year with a 7-5 win to capture the Triton Invitational title, snapping a six-year reign for the Trojans in that tournament.

Wright is married to Kerry Norris, a former UCLA women’s soccer player. He and his wife reside with their daughter, Rome, and son, Zsolt, in Los Angeles.

Wright led UCLA to a 24-7 overall record in 2019 and a 4-2 mark in league play. The Bruins reached the semifinals of the NCAA Championship, falling 8-7 to eventual champion Stanford in overtime.

Wright’s Career Coaching Record (Women’s)

Wright began his stint with the women’s program in 2018 as the Bruins went 23-8 overall and 2-3 in league play. The Bruins again reached the semifinals of the NCAA Championship but were forced to play without Olympian and three-time first-team All-American Maddie Musselman and fell to eventual champion USC, 10-6.

Year 2018 2019 2020 2021 Totals

Wright is the third coach in UCLA water polo history to coach both the men’s and women’s teams.

The other two – Guy Baker and Adam Krikorian – are both in the UCLA Athletics Hall of Fame. While coaching both programs from 1995-2000, Baker won seven national titles (four with the women and three with the men). Krikorian coached both programs from 2000-09 and won a total of 11 national titles as head coach (eight women’s championships and three men’s championships).

Associate Head Coach First Season L.A. Valley College ‘06

Assistant Coach Third Season UCLA ‘17

FALITZ

ROBINSON

Jason Falitz enters his first season as the Associate Head Coach with the Bruins’ women’s water polo program in 2022. He just finished his eighth year with the men’s water polo program at UCLA in 2021 and his seventh as the Associate Head Coach. He reported to the post of Associate Head Coach for the women’s program, replacing Christopher Lee.

UCLA head women’s water polo coach Adam Wright announced the hiring of James Robinson to the post of assistant coach on Sept. 11, 2019. He enters his third season with the Bruins in 2022.

“James Robinson set the bar for the type of student-athlete we look to bring into UCLA’s Water Polo culture,” Wright said. “James always demonstrated that he put his love for our program before himself. His time here as a Bruin student-athlete was one of the most successful periods in UCLA’s men’s water polo history. James had a huge impact on our program’s ability to be successful each day, each game and each year because of his commitment to not only understanding our system but more importantly buying into the culture we were building and making it better. As a staff we never had to question whether James was prepared or not, and this gave us the ability to lean on him to help mentor other players in our program.”

With the Bruin men, he was promoted on August 16, 2017 after Head Coach Adam Wright was also named the Head Coach of the UCLA women’s water polo program on July 20, 2017. Then in August of 2021, he was named the Associate Head Coach for the women’s water polo program.

Falitz won an NCAA title with the Bruin men’s team in his first year as UCLA went 30-0, defeating USC, 10-7, in the national championship game. He won his second championship in 2017 as UCLA defeated the Trojans at USC, 7-5. Falitz captured his third NCAA title (for the 2020 season) as the Bruins again defeated the Trojans at USC, 7-6, on March 21, 2021.

Robinson spent six months in 2018 coaching the Sacred Heart boy’s team in Auckland, New Zealand. During that time, he also coached in the Sea Wolf Water Polo Club.

Robinson returned to UCLA on January 2, 2019, to serve as a student-athlete academic mentor in the Academic and Student Services office.

In addition to his duties at UCLA, Falitz is the Head Boy’s Coach and the 16U Coach for the Rose Bowl Water Polo Club, positions he has held since 2012. His 16U team had a top five finish at the National Junior Olympics in 2012 and was top four in 2013.

The 16U team also finished second at the 2013 Ironman League Superfinals. In 2014, he earned the Bill Barnett Distinguished Men’s Coaching Award from the USA Water Polo Assembly.

“He has experienced every possible facet of UCLA’s water polo program from redshirting to being a three-time NCAA champion,” Wright added. “I am sure his experiences will play a vital role in helping mentor the student-athletes of our women’s water polo team.

More importantly, he understands the type of culture we are looking to build upon and I have no doubt that his impact on our team will help keep moving the needle forward for our program.”

He also served as the Head Boy’s Water Polo Coach at Notre Dame High School in Sherman Oaks, Calif., from 2012-14. He grew the program from 20 players to 50 in his three seasons and won the program’s first CIF Division I playoff victory in 2014.

He worked UCLA’s men’s water polo summer camp entering his senior season, the year the Bruins won their 11th NCAA Championship in 2017. It marked the third team Robinson was a part of that won a national title. After redshirting the 2013 campaign, he won his first title as a redshirt freshman in 2014 and repeated in 2015 as the Bruins went 30-0. After falling in overtime at California in the NCAA Semifinals in 2016, he and the Bruins bounced back to win the school’s 114th NCAA Championship with a 7-5 win at USC.

Falitz has also coached in the collegiate world, serving as an assistant coach at Los Angeles Valley College from 2007-14, helping guide the Monarchs to the Western State Conference Championship in 2014.

He served one season (2012) as a volunteer assistant for UCLA Head Coach Adam Wright, coaching the Bruins’ Water Polo Club at the 2012 Fisher Cup. Most recently, he served in the same capacity for UC Davis Head Coach and former Bruin assistant, Daniel Leyson, during the 2014 campaign.

After winning the title in December of 2017, he left for Australia to play professionally for six months with the Hunter Hurricanes in Newcastle, Australia. The Hunter Hurricanes Water Polo Club competes in the Australian National Water Polo League (NWPL), Australia’s premier domestic water polo competition. Also on that team were UCLA Bruins Gordon Marshall, Aleksandar Ruzic, and Matt Farmer. The Hurricanes’ women’s team also sported UCLA’s Rachel Fattal.

He spent five years (2007-11) as the Boy’s 18U Head Coach at the Rose Bowl Water Polo Club. He guided the team to back-to-back-to-back gold medals at the South Florida International Tournament (2009-11) and also guided them to a first place finish at the United State Club Championships in 2010.

Falitz had an extensive playing career, which began at John Burroughs High School.

A four-year varsity starter, he was Burroughs’ single season record holder for goals (202) and was the school’s all-time career scoring leader with 455 goals. A two-time All-American and three-time All-CIF selection, he was named the Almont League MVP in 1999 and that same year was the Los Angeles Times and Daily News All-Area Player of the Year. He played club ball at Harvard Water Polo Foundation from 1997-2000 under former Olympic Coach Rich Corso.

A combined four-time All-Academic selection by both the ACWPC and the MPSF, Robinson scored 44 goals in his career, including a career-high 16 as a sophomore in 2015 and also contributed 48 assists, 35 steals, 14 field blocks and drew 10 exclusions.

A product out of Palos Verdes High School, he was named the Bay League MVP and the Daily Breeze Player of the Year in 2012 after setting the PVHS single-season scoring record with 135 goals.

He then went on to play at Long Beach State from 2000-02, redshirting the 2000 season. He would later play at Los Angeles Valley College in 2006 where he was named a two-time First Team All-American and the 2006 Western State Conference Player of the Year and the 2006 Los Angeles Valley College Male Athlete of the Year.

Robinson graduated from UCLA in 2017 with a bachelor’s degree in political science.

NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS

1996 In only the second year of existence, UCLA women’s water polo captured the National Collegiate Championship, making Bruin water polo the first water polo program to win national titles in both men’s and women’s competition. Under the guidance of head coach Guy Baker, the Bruins lost only one game during the 1996 campaign, an 8-7 heartbreaker to California in the championship game of the Western Regional Qualification Tournament. But the Bruins turned the tables on the Golden Bears in the season’s final match and handed Cal an 8-4 defeat for the national title. Goals were scored by Jennifer McFerrin (3), Catharine von Schwarz (2), Megan Oesting, Coralie Simmons, and Katie Tenenbaum. Goalkeeper Nicolle Payne stopped 15 of Cal’s shots on goal.

1997 The Bruins brought home their second consecutive national championship and gave head coach Guy Baker four titles in a row (men’s 1995, women’s 1996, men’s 1996, women’s 1997).

UCLA lost just one game during the year, a 4-3 heartbreaker at the hands of California in the third game of the season.

The Bruins stormed through the rest of the spring, logging a 29-game win streak. UCLA captured its second title in a row with a 6-3 victory over California. The title did not come easily, as the Bruins held on to a shaky 3-2 lead heading into the final quarter of play. But UCLA outscored Cal, 3-1, in the final seven minutes, ensuring the national championship. Payne saved 11 attempts and earned her second consecutive Most Valuable Tournament Goalkeeper award. Goals were netted

by Amanda Gall (2), Coralie Simmons (2), Serela Mansur, and Katie Tenenbaum.

1998 In their fourth year of varsity status, the Bruins took home a third consecutive national title under head coach Guy Baker. UCLA lost only one game the entire season to top-ranked Cal in the first place match of the Santa Barbara Tournament. But the defeat would not go unanswered, as the Bruins would defeat the Golden Bears 7-3 in the national championship match.

While Cal was held scoreless for two quarters, the Bruins came on strong, notching at least one goal in every quarter.

In Payne’s last match as a Bruin, the goalkeeper recorded 13 saves and was named Tournament MVP. Goals were scored

by Coralie Simmons (3), Robin Beauregard, Amanda Gall, Erin Golaboski, and Catharine von Schwarz.

2000 The 2000 season brought the Bruins back to championship status after a one-year hiatus in 1999. Sparked by the return

The 1998 Bruins went 35-1 en route to the program’s third-straight national title.

of Catharine von Schwarz from the U.S. National Team, the Bruins finished 30-5 (8-1 MPSF) and won their fourth national championship in five years. The championship was the first under new head coach Adam Krikorian, who took over full-time after the 1998 season. In the title game of the 2000 Collegiate Nationals, UCLA downed defending champion USC, 11-4.

The Bruins jumped out to a 3-1 first quarter lead and never looked back. Catharine von Schwarz netted a hat trick and became the first UCLA female student-athlete to win four team championships. Elaine Zivich added a goal and was named Tournament MVP. Goals were also scored by Kelly Heuchan (2), Serela Kay, Jenny Lamb, Jessica Lopez, Eleanor Murphy and Ashley Stachowski. Goalkeeper Jaime Hipp grabbed 10 saves to secure the victory for the Bruins.

2001 The Bruins captured the inaugural NCAA women’s water polo title in 2001. Seniors Coralie Simmons and Kristin Guerin led the Bruins to their fourth title in five years. Throughout the season, UCLA dominated opponents, posting an 18-4 overall record and going 9-1 in MPSF action. The Stanford Cardinal proved to be the toughest challenge for the Bruins, handing them each of the four losses, including an 8-5 loss in the MPSF Championship game. UCLA rebounded from the loss at the MPSF Championships to defeat Loyola Marymount 11-1 in the NCAA semifinal match. In the title game, UCLA defeated

Stanford 5-4. The win came off of a Coralie Simmons goal with 1:28 remaining in the game. Goals were scored by Simmons (2), Robin Beauregard, Kelly Heuchan, and Ashley Stachowski.

Jaime Hipp recorded six saves. For her efforts, Simmons received MVP honors and was joined on the All-Tournament team by Beauregard, Heuchan, Hipp, Kristin Guerin, Jenny Lamb, and Elaine Zivich.

2003 The Bruins continued their championship tradition by taking the 2003 NCAA Championship. All-Americans Robin Beauregard and Jamie Hipp provided veteran leadership as head coach Adam Krikorian won his third national championship. UCLA posted an overall record of 23-4, including an 8-2 MPSF mark.

Ranked No. 1 nationally entering the MPSF Tournament, the Bruins picked up a No. 3 seed due to losses to Stanford and USC. The Bruins easily dispatched Hawaii before narrowly defeating USC, 7-6, in sudden-victory overtime. In the MPSF title match, UCLA fell to Stanford. The Bruins earned an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament, where they defeated Loyola Marymount in the semifinals. UCLA advanced to the championship game against Stanford for the third consecutive time. The Bruins fell behind 2-0 at halftime, but stormed back with four straight goals to win the match, 4-3, and capture the title. Goals were scored by Jessica Lopez, Kelly Rulon, Lauren Heineck, and Robin Beauregard, and Jaime Hipp finished with six saves.

Senior Robin Beauregard was named Most Outstanding Player of the NCAA Touranment.

2005 UCLA’s 2005 squad enjoyed what was considered by many at the time to be the greatest season in collegiate women’s water polo history. Led by Cutino Award winner Natalie Golda, the Bruins posted a perfect 33-0 mark to win the NCAA Championship. UCLA’s 33-0 record marked the best NCAA finish and longest single-season winning streak. The team outscored its opponents 394-134, and 121 -31 in the first quarter. Few teams held their ground against UCLA in the first quarter, much less the entire game. This championship team started three Olympians – Natalie Golda, Kelly Rulon, and Thalia Munro. The Bruins entered the NCAA Tournament as the No. 1 seed at the University of Michigan’s Canham Natatorium. After defeating Wagner in their first match, the Bruins downed Hawai’i, 7-6, in the semifinals. Kristina Kunkel scored the winning goal with 1:43 left in the fourth quarter.

UCLA concluded its remarkable season by winning the 2005 NCAA Championship, defeating third-seeded Stanford, 3-2.

UCLA led the entire way against the Cardinal, as Brittany Rowe led the Bruins with two goals in that game.

The first NCAA women’s water polo title went to UCLA in 2001.

NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS

2006 The 2006 Bruins returned nearly every player aside from Natalie Golda, the 2005 Cutino Award winner who helped lead UCLA to a 33-0 record in 2005. The Bruins had the talent, experience, and determination necessary to win their second consecutive NCAA title, their fourth in the last six seasons. While not nearly as dominant as the 2005 version, the 2006 women’s water polo team outscored its opponents by a 369-134 margin.

UCLA allowed just 4.1 goals per game, the best average in the nation. The Bruins finished their 2006 campaign with a 29-4 overall record and an 11-1 MPSF mark. UCLA earned the No. 3 seed entering the NCAA Tournament at UC Davis.

In game one, UCLA dispatched No. 6 seed Hartwick College, 15-2. Then next day, goalkeeper Emily Feher made nine saves in the cage and Kelly Rulon added three goals to lead UCLA past Stanford, 8-5, in both teams’ fourth meeting of the spring.

2007

The 2008 NCAA champions posted the second undefeated season in program history, going 33-0.

UCLA’s 2007 squad will be most remembered as the team that won UCLA’s 100th NCAA team championship. The women’s water polo team initiated the “race” to 100 when the Bruins captured the 2006 NCAA title. Equally impressive, the Bruins’ 2007 title marked the program’s third consecutive NCAA championship. Led by seniors Molly Cahill, Emily Feher, Kacy Kunkel and Kelly Rulon, the 2007 team had little trouble taking care of business. UCLA suffered two regular-season losses to Stanford, but defeated the Cardinal when it mattered most.

The Bruins downed Long Beach State on the first day of the MPSF Tournament before edging USC, 10-9, in the semifinals.

UCLA punched its ticket to the NCAA Tournament with a 9-3 rout of Stanford.

Kraus and Mathewson earned Co-MPSF Player of the Year honors by season’s end, and Mathewson was the recipient of the Peter J. Cutino Award, the sport’s most prestigious honor bestowed upon the top male and female player. In his 10th season at the helm, head coach Adam Krikorian earned ACWPC Coach of the Year accolades for the fourth consecutive season, and Mathewson captured ACWPC Player of the Year honors.

Aside from the leadership of UCLA’s five seniors, the Bruins received substantial contributions from juniors Brittany Fullen, Anne Belden, Katie Rulon and Tanya Gandy.

UCLA IN THE OLYMPICS USA Women’s Water Polo, guided by head coach Adam Krikorian (‘97), won its third-straight gold medal for the first time in history, beating Spain in the final, 14-5. UCLA senior Maddie Musselman and 2017 graduate Rachel Fattal captured their second career gold medals, while Alys Williams (‘17) earned her first. Musselman, the tournament MVP, tied with Maggie Steffens for the team lead in scoring with 18 goals in the tournament, which ranked tied for second among all scorers.

The defending gold medalists, Team USA romped to a 12-5 win over Italy in the 2016 Rio Games for its fifth consecutive Olympic medal in women’s water polo.

Krikorian assumed head coaching responsibilities of the U.S. Women’s Water Polo National Team in the summer of 2009 after winning his fifth consecutive NCAA Championship at the helm of the UCLA women’s program. In his 17 years with the Bruins’ water polo programs as both a player and a coach, Krikorian won an unprecedented 15 national titles - 11 as a head coach, three as an assistant coach and one as a student-athlete.

Team USA has long been a power in women’s water polo, but the Americans had never translated their success at other major competitions to the Olympics, claiming bronze in 2004 and silver in 2000 and 2008. Like in Beijing, the U.S. women were ranked No. 1 and were gold medal favorites. But this time, they would not be denied what had long eluded them.

Maggie Steffens scored five goals on the day capping a binge of seven-straight goals for the U.S. that turned a 2-1 deficit with 6:44 left in the second period into an 8-2 lead with 7:20 remaining in the fourth quarter. Spain scored the final three goals of the match, but the Americans had built an insurmountable lead.

The U.S. was 8-for-17 on shots (compared to Spain’s 5-for-28 performance) and dominated the game despite losing out on time of possession, 16:58 to 15:02. U.S. goalkeeper, Betsey Armstrong, finished with eight saves, including a huge stop on a penalty shot in the fourth period.

Under the tutelage of former UCLA men’s and women’s head water polo coach Guy Baker, the U.S. women’s water polo team earned a silver medal at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing. Aided by former UCLA standouts Natalie Golda and Jaime Hipp, the U.S. team earned its third medal since the sport’s Olympic inception in 2000.

In the gold medal match against Hungary, Team USA rallied from an early 4-0 deficit to tie the match, 5-5, before halftime.

Golda scored one goal in the match, helping reduce the Americans’ deficit to 5-3. The U.S. team advanced to the gold medal match after sinking Australia, 9-8, to assure itself of finishing the Olympics with a medal.

The 2008 Games in Beijing marked the second Olympic appearance for Golda and the first for Hipp. Baker served as the U.S. women’s team’s head coach in the first three Olympiads of the 21st Century.

In 2004, seven players and Baker represented the UCLA women’s water polo program at the Olympics in Athens, Greece. Six former and current Bruins helped lead Team USA to the bronze medal, and one former Bruin (Kelly Heuchan) competed for Australia, which finished fourth.

Then-current Bruins Natalie Golda, Thalia Munro, Amber Stachowski, Kelly Rulon and Gabrielle Domanic (alternate) competed alongside Payne and Beauregard. Baker helped lead the U.S. team to its second medal in as many Olympics.

In the 2004 bronze medal contest, the U.S. team defeated host Australia by a 6-5 margin. UCLA’s athletes scored three of Team USA’s six goals in that contest – Beauregard, Golda and Stachowski each netted one goal.

Mathewson, a former Cutino Award winner (2008), won four national titles at UCLA (2005-08) and made her first Olympic appearance in the 2012 London Olympics.

The new millennium brought women’s water polo to the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney, Australia. In a wild gold medal contest between Australia and Team USA, Australia scored a controversial last-second goal to win, 4-3, and send the U.S. team home with the silver medal. Bruins Coralie Simmons, Nicolle Payne, Beauregard, and Coach Baker helped lead Team USA on its quest for a gold medal. While competing at UCLA, both Simmons and Beauregard spent the year away from campus. Simmons led Team USA with nine goals in the Olympics, and Beauregard added six.

Of the eight players to find the back of the net against Italy in the 2016 gold medal match, three were Bruins. Redshirt senior Rachel Fattal led the charge with two goals while former Bruin and two-time gold medalist Courtney Mathewson netted one in the opening minutes of play. In the fourth quarter, incoming freshman Maddie Musselman rocketed a penalty shot past the Italian keeper to give Team USA an 11-4 lead.

One of the team’s leading scorers, Musselman tallied 12 goals throughout the Olympic Games, including a game-high four goals against China in pool play. Overall, Mathewson notched seven for Team USA while Fattal scored four. Rounding out the Bruins’ scoring efforts, defender KK Clark put away two of her own. In the cage, Hill recorded six saves in three games. The U.S. finished the Rio Games with a goal differential of 41 after scoring 73 goals and allowing just 32 in six games played.

Since women’s water polo was added to Olympic program in 2000, the United States has never missed the podium. It won silver in 2000 and 2008 and bronze in 2004 before capturing three-straight gold medals in London, Rio, and Tokyo.

Musselman scored the eventual game-winning goal with a lob shot over the Italian keeper, for her second goal of the contest.

She was named the MVP of the World League Super Final after scoring at least two goals in all six games for a total of 14 in the tournament. Team USA also featured Bruins Adam Krikorian (head coach), Chris Lee (staff), Rachel Fattal (attacker), and Alys Williams (defender).

The USA Women’s National Team won the 2018 FINA World Cup title for the third straight time, maintaining its hold on all major FINA championships, following an 8-5 win over Russia on Sept. 9, 2018. The World Cup gold joins titles in 1979, 2010 and 2014.

Three Bruins were a part of the squad, which includes head coach Adam Krikorian (UCLA player from 1992-95) as well as attacker Rachel Fattal (UCLA player from 2013-15 and 2017) and defender Alys Williams (UCLA player from 2013-15 and 2017).

In the summer of 2017, the USA Water Polo Women’s Senior National Team successfully defended its title at the FINA World Championships, defeating Spain in the gold-medal game, 13-6. The win capped an unbeaten run through the schedule for the Americans, who were led by tournament MVP Maddie Musselman. The UCLA sophomore-to-be scored a team-high 16 goals over six contests. Bruins Rachel Fattal (2013-15, 2017) and Alys Williams (2013-15, 2017) also factored in prominently for the Adam Krikorian-led Team USA. The FINA World Championships win marked yet another highlight in a busy summer for Team USA. Musselman and Williams were

part of the roster that needed a shootout to overcome Greece and claim the Kunshan Cup in China by a score of 11-8 (June 3).

In addition to Hill and Fattal, UCLA was represented by Clark, Willaims, Kraus and Courtney Mathewson.

At the FINA World Cup, the USA won another gold medal on the backs of Hill, Fattal and Mathewson. Hill recorded 16 saves in the championship victory over Australia. Fattal (10 goals) and Mathewson (six goals) were major forces on offense for the Stars and Stripes. Clark, Williams and Kraus were also key players in the USA’s drive to an undefeated tournament.

In the summer of 2013, the U.S. Women’s Junior National Team won the gold medal at the FINA Junior World Championships in Greece by defeating Spain, 9-7. UCLA players participating were Fattal, Emily Donohoe, Kodi Hill and Williams. Fattal was named

In 2009 UCLA players Brooke Martin and Natasha Schulman played for the 2009 USA Junior National Team and Sami Hill redshirted the 2012 season to train with the U.S. Senior National Team.

In the summer of 2007, former UCLA attacker Tanya Gandy and Team USA finished fourth at the FINA Women’s Junior World Championships in Porto, Portugal. Gandy scored 19 goals in seven games.

The Senior National Team won the Holiday Cup in December 2006. Former Bruins Natalie Golda and Jamie Hipp and thencurrent Bruin Emily Feher competed in the Senior National Team event. Golda scored in every one of six games for Team USA, while Hipp contributed 21 saves in the cage. Team USA had also won the 2006 FINA World Championships in Italy.

At the 2006 Pythia Cup in Greece, Gandy and Brittany Fullen, then a sophomore on the Bruins’ roster, competed for the U.S. Junior National Team. Gandy registered eight goals and Fullen totaled 14 saves in the cage over three games, leading Team USA to the silver medal.

In December 2001, the U.S. Junior National Team captured the nation’s first FINA Junior World Championship in a 10-9 overtime win. Amber Stachowski led the United States with four goals and Thalia Munro added one. UCLA players accounted for 48 percent of U.S. scoring with 38 of Team USA’s 80 goals.

In the 2003 FINA Junior World Championships, Feher, Lauren Heineck, Kristina Kunkel and Kelly Rulon all saw significant playing time for the United States. In 2004, the Junior National Team won the gold medal at the Pan-American Games.

UCLA players have been key members of the Senior National Team in previous years. Each player has contributed to Team USA’s international success. At the 2003 FINA World Championships, Robin Beauregard scored the game-winning goal in the United States’ 8-6 victory over Italy in the title game. The victory over Italy gave the U.S. women’s water polo team its first-ever gold medal.

The Senior National team went on to compete in the 2004 Athens Olympics, placing third.

DIRKS POOL AT SPIEKER AQUATICS CENTER

Dirks Pool at Spieker Aquatics Center has served as the home for UCLA women’s water polo since 2010.

Dirks Pool at Spieker Aquatics Center The UCLA women’s water polo team begins its 13th season playing at Dirks Pool at Spieker Aquatics Center in the spring of 2022. Over the past 12 seasons, UCLA has logged a 66-11 (.857) record at its state-of-the-art home facility. In 2022, UCLA is slated to play five regular-season games at Spieker Aquatics Center.

Spieker Aquatics Center opened in September 2009, in time for the start of the men’s water polo season that fall. PCL Construction broke ground on the facility in July 2008. The athletics department offi cially opened Spieker Aquatics Center on Sept.

26, 2009, as the men’s water polo team defeated UC Irvine, 10-4, after a dedication ceremony that evening.

In the spring of 2017, UCLA hosted the MPSF Tournament (April 28-30), using Dirks Pool at Spieker Aquatics Center. The Bruins took full advantage of their home court and won the Conference Tournament by beating second-ranked Stanford, 6-3, on April 30, 2017. The Bruins also hosted the MPSF Tournament in May 2009, taking advantage of the home setting to win the title at the three-day event.

meter springboards. In addition, the aquatics center features a warming pool for divers directly behind the tower.

Adjacent to Sunset Canyon Recreation Center on the northwest portion of campus, the Spieker Aquatics Center was made possible thanks to a generous lead gift from former student-athlete Tod Spieker and his wife, Catherine. Tod, a 1971 UCLA graduate and All-American, swam for the Bruins from 1968-71 and still competes successfully in Master’s Swimming.

The main pool, Dirks Pool, is named after Carolyn Dirks, who provided the lead gift for the swimming pool. Dirks Pool has also been used for special use events and Masters Swim meets. The signature feature of the Spieker Aquatics Center is the diving tower, which sits at the west end of the pool.

The east end of the pool houses the new scoreboard, an LED, state-of-the-art piece of electronics, making scores, statistics and messages easily visible to all in attendance.

Next to the scoreboard is the “Wall of Champions”, showcasing all of UCLA’s water polo, swimming and diving national championship teams, and individual student-athletes’ achievements, record-holders and Olympians.

The Bruins can also use the pool at Sunset Canyon Recreation Center when hosting larger events.

Separate men’s and women’s locker rooms house enough lockers for all team members, with shower space and bathroom stalls and sinks for each team. Equipment needed for meets and matches have storage capacity on the facility’s south side.

Entering its 13th full season as UCLA’s home pool, Spieker Aquatics Center features a 52-meter by 25-yard all-deep water pool with a dividing bulkhead, allowing races to take place at varying distances (meters, versus yards). The pool also has four platforms on a diving tower, at heights of three, five, seven and one half, and 10-meter platforms, as well as one and three-

When walking through the public entryway to the center, visitors first notice the Donor Wall. All donors who generously made gifts to the Spieker Aquatics Center are recognized on this wall.

Additionally, over 50 former UCLA water polo players, swimmers and divers made gifts to “name” a locker. Those names will forever be part of the locker rooms in the new facility.

MOUNTAIN PACIFIC SPORTS FEDERATION (MPSF) The Mountain Pacific Sports Federation (MPSF) was established in 1992-1993 to serve the competitive needs of member institutions from the Big West, Pacific-10 (now the Pac-12) and Western Athletic Conferences, as well as other selected universities in the western United States; and to provide championships competition for Division I intercollegiate Olympic sports in a conference setting. The founding principles on which the MPSF was originally formed were to provide enhanced competition and championship opportunities for sports without conference affiliation; to contain the costs of competition; and to ensure the survival of endangered sports. The federation has also served as an incubator for emerging women’s sports and as a safe harbor for sports impacted by conference realignments.

Since its inaugural season, the federation has seen its charter conference membership grow by the addition of the Mountain West and West Coast Conferences and their respective member institutions, as well as the addition of women’s water polo, women’s gymnastics, women’s lacrosse and men’s and women’s swimming and diving.

As a testament to its viability, the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation continues to successfully navigate the everchanging sea of college sports by fostering contraction and expansion of its sports portfolio to meet the dynamic needs of its members. As the MPSF is in its 29th season during the 2020-2021 academic year and continues its legacy of championship competition, it affirms the vision of its founders and the relevance of its founding principles.

In 2020-21, the MPSF will sponsor competition in 10 intercollegiate Olympic sports, while serving 85 teams from 41 universities across 12 states. MPSF teams compete primarily at the NCAA Division I level in men’s and women’s water polo, men’s and women’s indoor track and field, men’s and women’s gymnastics, men’s and women’s swimming and diving, women’s lacrosse, and men’s volleyball. MPSF teams are eligible to compete in the NCAA Championships

with men’s and women’s water polo and men’s volleyball conference champions earning automatic qualification.

The MPSF added one NCAA team championship during the shortened 2019-20 athletic year, as the Stanford men’s water polo team brought the total to 96 NCAA titles for the conference since its 1992 inaugural season of competition.

The federation turned in a high of five national championships during the 2007-08, 2008-09, and 2015-16 years, and has won at least four in 13 of the last 16 years. With the Cardinal winning the men’s water polo national championship last year, the MPSF stayed perfect with all 47 NCAA titles in the sport since the inception of the conference (28 men, 19 women). In terms of conference titles, Oklahoma Men’s Gymnastics currently owns an all-sports combined MPSF record eight-straight championships. The Sooners also own a record of 18 overall MPSF team titles.

Al Beaird has been the federation’s only executive director, taking the reins after being selected by the MPSF Administrative Committee in December 1997 after a national search. Beaird’s position was established as a result of the federation’s continued growth and emerging tradition of NCAA and national championship caliber play, including 82 NCAA team championships during his tenure. Beaird, who formerly served on the athletics staff at his alma mater, UC Davis, where the integration of student and athlete is a long-rooted philosophy, oversees the administration of all federation sports. He has worked closely with administrators and coaches from more than 50 different universities over the course of his administration. Beaird presided over the transition of the federation from what was initially a scheduling alliance to what is now nationally recognized as one of the most successful NCAA Division I Olympic sports conferences. Beaird directs all aspects of MPSF competition, including championships, officiating, rules compliance, scheduling, media relations, broadcasting, sponsorships and

NCAA Relations, while also shaping conference legislation, facilitating annual meetings and providing direction and communication for the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Administrative and Executive Committees. In 2004, Beaird completed a four-year term, three years as chair, on the NCAA Men’s Water Polo Championships Committee and one year as chair of the inaugural NCAA Men’s and Women’s Water Polo Rules Committee. Beaird feels privileged to work with coaches and student-athletes who compete at the highest levels, including those who compete on USA national teams as coaches or players in international and Olympic competition. Beaird has been called upon to serve as liaison to the national governing bodies for amateur athletics in the United States and the United States Olympic Committee. Beaird received his undergraduate degree in physical education from UC Davis before attaining his Masters of Business Administration from California State University, Sacramento. Beaird, who lives in Woodland, California, is married and has two daughters.
