Staring at a three-point deficit late in the second quarter, the Bruins were at risk of snapping their 33-game all-time win streak over the Anteaters.
But by the end of the third quarter, they had gained the lead.

After a fourth-place finish at the MPSF tournament two weeks ago, No. 4 seed UCLA women’s water polo (20-7, 4-2 MPSF) earned an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament.

Through two weeks of play, the Bruins have not lost.
For the 18th time in program history, No.

College sports teams are, by nature, fleeting. The Bruins are no different.
Despite having around 80% retention from last year’s team, the UCLA women’s water polo team will likely behave as a uniquely new unit – mainly because of the loss of two-time Olympic gold medalist Maddie Musselman and the addition of seven freshmen.

The Bruins are coming off their worst stretch of games of the season.
At the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation tournament semifinals, they allowed eight first-half goals against USC en route to a one-goal loss.

Down three goals with 1:19 remaining on the clock, the Bruins’ fate appeared to be sealed.
Then redshirt sophomore attacker Gianpiero Di Martire dented the twine on three consecutive possessions in the final 1:05 of the game to force overtime.

Over 6,000 miles away from home, two brothers are learning how to adapt to life in a new country – together.
Originally hailing from Naples, Italy, Gianpiero and Massimo Di Martire each pursued different educational pathways after high school but eventually landed on American collegiate water polo teams.
