UCLA women’s water polo wins NCAA Championship

OK, I’m a day late with this, but this deserves a post regardless.

Congratulations to the UCLA women’s water polo team for winning the NCAA Championship on Sunday. It was the Bruins’ fourth-consecutive title in women’s water polo and the school’s 101st NCAA Championship.

UCLA finished undefeated at 33-0, and beat USC in the championship game 6-3. As head coach Adam Krikorian told the Daily Bruin:

“It’s an unbelievable feeling,” Krikorian said. “These girls played with so much heart today. To go undefeated is incredibly difficult. These girls handled it really well and stayed focused on the task.”

The five seniors on the team have gone an unbelievable 123-6 in their UCLA career.

Congratulations ladies on your championship. I’ve covered water polo in my past, and know how hard they work. They earned this.
