Top-seeded UCLA captured its eighth NCAA women’s water polo championship and the 12th national championship in program history with a 7-4 win over No. 3 Cal on Sunday night at Spieker Aquatics Complex.
Not only did the Bruins win the title, they did it with perfection — finishing the season with a 26-0 record.
UCLA, which improved to 65-14 all-time against the Golden Bears, completed just the third undefeated season in school history (the 2005 and 2008 teams accomplished the feat with 33-0 records).
