The NCAA Championships will be held at Stanford from December 6th – 8th. UCLA last won a national title in men’s water polo in 2020. They were 9-7 in the shortened season. Before that, it was the 2017 team. Despite that, the Bruins have had a long line of success in water polo. Men’s and Women’s have been a point of pride on the UCLA campus.
California comes into the season as winners of three straight national titles. Last season they beat the Bruins 13-11 in the title game.
