I think we learned quite a bit from last season. We had a great win vs Stanford in NCAAs and that was a big posi-tive. The loss in the final hurt us, but we learned from that loss as well. We were not tough enough. We were close but not tough enough .We talked a lot during the offseason, and it seems now that the team is more physical and more hungry. They didn’t know what to expect last year but now there is more hunger.

We always expect to win a championship. The guys won’t be happy with anything else.

Our biggest strength is our depth. All these guys have a extra year of experience and the experience of getting to the NCAA final. We had nine freshmen last year, and we have added a few really good freshmen this year.

Blake is arguably our best player. One thing that this team needed last year was toughness and experience. He’s tough and he’s experienced. he’s 23 so he definitely has been around wp for a long time. He’s a scorer, an excel-lent defender, and he’s fast. He’s a complete package.

Silvers, D’Sa and Lavayen are good young players.

We also have several guys who redshirted last season and are all competing for playing time this year. Slater, Tristan, starting center, Chase. Our redshirt freshmen are pushing the returning guys.

our natural leaders are younger guys, james

james, mihajlo and nick - 3 captains.

Kostas was arguably the best player we’ve ever had at USC. It will take a team effort to make up for him. Every-one will need to chip in. But that’s what the strength of the team will be. We don’t have to rely on one guy.

That’s what we had in 2010. We didn’t have a go-to guy.

Really, everybody can play. Our biggest strength is our speed. We’ll be the fastest team out there. Our centers are fast, our guards are fast and

Matteo can score in fast break. We have very good balance in terms of offense.

Many guys can post up and can defend.

McQuin is the key. When he is having good day, then we are not going to give up more than four or five goals. He had a good offseason with the national team and qualifying for the Olympics. He’s more relaxed and more mature this year. He’s just really tough to score on. If he’s focused and on, he’s really difficult to score on. We need help in blocking. If we help each other, I think we can be an excellent defensive team. We have good speed and quick players that can guard.

not receiving any first-lce votes felt disrespectful and it’s motivation for us.

it was physical toughness. that was a major problem. We are getting better in that area. We are stronger and tougher. When you’re tough it means you’re not overreacting. mihajlo and james and blake give us very good toughness. bryce, lacy, strong legs - zach dsaseveral guys who can play against anybody

lachy is a key.

ucla’s strenght at 2m was our biggest problem.

Our motivation is to go back to the finals and to win it. It’s never easy.

MPSF - It’s great to have the MPSF Tournament at home. Having our fans and athletic department watching us play is huge. We love it and it makes us stay more focused. We are motivated to do well in our own house.

2015USCMEN’SWATERPOLO2015 USC MEN’S WATER POLO 2015 USC MEN’S WATER POLO1998 • 2003 • 2005 • 2008 • NCAACHAMPIONS • 2009 • 2010 • 2011 • 2012 • 2013

For the USC men’s water polo team, the 2015 season started last year. When the whistle blew on the 2014 NCAA Championship game, for the first time in seven seasons the Trojans were not

the ones churning up the water in celebration of another national title. Instead, USC carried a second-place trophy back to the locker room. But when the Trojans emerged, they were carrying a new mindset, with jaws set in determination to make 2015 a different story.

Head coach Jovan Vavic has seen that determination before. His Trojans have reached the NCAA title match for 10 consecutive seasons, capturing seven championships during that stretch. Year in and year out, the expectations are the same, although the paths have been markedly different every time. This year, the Trojans are relying largely on a powerful pack of sophomores while also calling on the championship-savvy of their leaders.

For the first time in years, USC doesn’t have a one-man scoring machine who stands out above the rest. In back-to-back seasons, the Trojans saw the program scoring record broken — first by Nikola Vavic in 2013 and then by Kostas Genidounias in 2014. Those two powerfully prolific scorers were the backbones of the Trojan offense in their respective senior seasons. This year, however, the scoring record is decidedly safe, as no returning Trojan comes into the season with more than 43 career goals.

But if you think that USC will be lacking in firepower in 2015, you are gravely mistaken. If anything, the absence of a noted top gun means that opponents will have a harder time figuring out whom to target. Instead of relying on one big name to come through with the heroics, the Trojans are armed with an arsenal of attack-minded players that afford USC the ability to unleash a balanced offensive onslaught.

The last time that USC had this kind of off-the-radar offensive abilities was 2010, according to Vavic. That year, USC had no seniors on the roster, and still went on to capture a third consecutive NCAA championship. In 2015, USC’s standout veteran is Mac Carden, a redshirt senior who has been with the Trojans through three NCAA titles and four trips to the final. Fellow senior Gerrit Hill joined the Trojans as a transfer in 2013, and redshirt junior Luke Felton was a member of the 2014 NCAA Tournament roster. Aside from Carden, the only other Trojan with first-hand experience of playing in and winning an NCAA championship is All-American junior Nick Bell, who raised the 2013 trophy alongside Carden.

The knowledge that Bell and Carden have gleaned in their string of trips to the NCAA final pairs powerfully well with the vital experience that the youth movement of Trojans gathered in last year’s run to the title match. The No. 3 seed in the 2014 tournament, USC pinned up a semifinal upset in sudden death to notch a 10th straight appearance in the final. For the nine Trojan freshmen in the water, that journey is sure to pay dividends.

“I think we learned quite a bit from last season,” Vavic said of the 2014 campaign in which USC went 24-7 overall. “We had a great semifinal win and that was a big positive. The loss in the final hurt us, but we learned from that loss as well. We talked a lot during the offseason, and it seems now that the team is more physical and more hungry. They didn’t know what to expect last year but now there is more hunger.

“Our biggest strength is our depth. We have very good balance in terms of offense, and all these guys have an extra year of experience and the experience of getting to the NCAA final. We had nine freshmen last year, and we have added a few really good freshmen this year. We also have several guys who redshirted last season and are all competing for playing time this year.”

Three of those 2014 freshmen earned All-American status last season and are back for more along with fellow All-American junior Bell. Mihajlo Milicevic, James Walters and goalie McQuin Baron were All-American honorees after making a huge splash on the scene in their first seasons as Trojans. Baron set a USC record for single-season saves with 288 blocks logged in the cage last year. He’ll be joined once again in leading USC’s goalkeeping corps with sophomore Ben Goncharenko, with redshirt freshman goalie Steven Michaud also in the mix this season.

USC’s youth movement runs deeper as one takes into account the likes of sophomores Lachlan Edwards, Bryce Hoerman, Matteo Morelli, Lazar Pasuljevic and Grant Stein — all members of USC’s 2014 NCAA Tournament roster. Morelli was the most productive of the group last year, scoring 40 goals for the Trojan cause, just ahead of 34 from Walters, 22 from Stein and 31 from Edwards.

This year, Lachlan Edwards is joined by his older brother, Blake. The Australian brothers are reunited at Troy this season, with Blake Edwards joining the Trojan roster as a junior. Vavic anticipates his arrival on the scene as a boon in USC’s gameplan for 2015.

“Blake may arguably be our best player,” Vavic said of the newcomer. “One thing that this team needed last year was toughness and experience. He’s tough and he’s experienced. He’s a scorer, an excellent defender, and he’s fast. He’s a complete package.”

Vavic also welcomes the addition of a set of true freshmen whom he believes will factor in immediately as well. Zach D’Sa, Nick Lavayen and Nick Silvers are in line to considerable playing time this year. So, too, is Vavic excited about the activation of a few players who redshirted last year, namely Murphy Slater, Tristan Reinhardt and Chase Koplow, as well as the marked improvement of redshirt sophomore Mitch Embrey.

“Really, everybody can play, and we have a lot of speed,” Vavic said. “We’ll be the fastest team out there. Our centers are fast and our guards are fast, so we want to be especially dangerous in our counterattacks. If we help each other, I think we can be an excellent defensive team, too. We have many guys who can post up and defend.”

All in all, as Vavic rounds the corner of his third decade at the helm of USC’s water polo dynasty, he remains as focused as ever. Collegiate water polo has not seen anything like the winning momentum that Vavic has built at Troy, and the Trojans have no plans to change that trend. This year, as every year, USC plans to add another NCAA trophy to its collection.

“We always expect to win a championship. The guys won’t be happy with anything else.” •

JOVAN VAVIC

With 13 na-tional champi-onships won during his ten-ure at USC, Jo-van Vavic has

the most team titles of any USC head coach in history.

Also solidified as one of the top water polo coaches in the country, Vavic serves a dual role as the head coach of both the USC men’s and women’s teams. He now has led both to national championships four times in the same school year (1998-99, 2003-04, 2009-10 and 2012-13), and has lifted USC to an unprecedented six con-secutive men’s national championships with the Trojans’ run to the 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013 titles.

He now holds 13 national championships (nine men’s and four women’s), and is a 12-time National Coach of the Year and 10-time MPSF Coach of the Year between the two programs. He also has seen his players win 10 Peter J. Cutino Awards.

Now in his 21st season at the helm of the men’s program, Vavic has improved his career coaching record on the men’s side to 472-75 (.863). In his tenure as men’s head coach, Vavic boasts a winning record against all opponents on the men’s side of the game, recording only two losses in2019 years against teams outside the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation. He is 324-73 (.816) against MPSF teams since 1995.

Vavic’s young 2014 Trojans were led by even-tual Peter J. Cutino Award winner Kostas Geni-dounias, who became the program’s all-time top scorer during his senior season. That year, USC would defy the odds and reach the NCAA title game for the 10th consecutive season, finishing as runners-up to close the year at 24-7 overall.

In 2013, pulled off a sixth consecutive NCAA crown — won in an overtime battle with Pacific. The experienced USC squad snatched the title from the Tigers and finished up with a 28-4 over-all record. With a roster that would include six 2013 All-Americans, USC finished the year with seven straight wins in also claiming the MPSF Tournament title.

For the third time in four years, Vavic’s 2012 team boasted a program-high nine All-Americans — including National Coach of the Year honors for Vavic and the National Player of the Year award for Vavic’s son, Nikola — following USC’s run to a perfect 29-0 season and the 2012 Na-tional Championship. In their home pool, the Trojans captured their fifth consecutive title with a heart-stopping 11-10 win over UCLA in the final. Vavic’s 2013 women’s team would go on to complete a dominating year for USC in winning the women’s title.

In 2011, the USC men finished off a fourth straight national title run with a 24-3 overall record thanks to a 7-4 win over UCLA in the final. In the calendar year of 2010, Vavic swept both sides of the game, following 2010 National and MPSF Coach of the Year awards on the women’s

side with 2010 National and MPSF Coach of the Year with the men in leading the Trojan men to their third consecutive national championship.

The 2010 campaign saw Vavic’s Trojans defy

the national predictions of a fourth-place finish in the conference by instead forcing their way to successfully defending their NCAA crowns with a third straight national championship. A 12-10 overtime win over host Cal in the 2010 title match finished off a 28-2 record for the MPSF and NCAA champions. In 2009, Vavic had guided the Trojans to a 26-2 record en route to USC’s second straight national championship. In the 2009 title match, the Trojans beat UCLA 7-6 to win USC’s fifth NCAA championship. Soon after, Vavic was named the National Coach of the Year, and he would see his players sweep the Cutino Awards for the third time in his career, as J.W. Krumpholz and Kami Craig went back-to-back as the 2009 and 2010 Cutino Award winners following the USC women’s run to the 2010 NCAA Championship.

In 2008, the USC men were unstoppable. The Trojans claimed the program’s third MPSF Championship on the way to the best season in program history with a 29-0 undefeated mark that culminated in the 2008 NCAA Champion-ship for USC’s fourth national title. Vavic’s 300th career men’s win was notched on Oct. 12, 2008 in a 12-7 win over Cal 12-7 in the SoCal Tourna-ment semifinals.

USC posted its first undefeated regular season in 2006, as its overall winning streak reached a program-record 44 straight victories. Vavic was named the MPSF Coach of the Year for the sixth time in his career, and the Trojans finished 2006 with a 26-2 overall record after a last-second loss in the NCAA final. It was USC’s second straight trip to the final, as Vavic had guided the Trojans to their third-ever NCAA Championship and a program-best 26-1 record in 2005.

For his success in guiding USC to the NCAA crown in 2005, Vavic was named the National Men’s Coach of the Year. His Trojans also claimed the 2005 MPSF Championship, and Vavic earned himself MPSF Coach of the Year honors as well. At 26-1, USC posted its most wins in history and broke another record by closing out the year on an 19-game winning streak.

Vavic came to USC in 1992 as an assistant coach, joined John Williams as co-head coach in 1995 and took over the men’s head coaching reins in 1999 after Williams retired. He and Wil-liams were named National Coaches of the Year in 1998 after leading USC to its first-ever national championship. They also were named MPSF Co-Coaches of the Year in 1996 after leading USC to the conference title.

In fact, in the 1998-99 season, Vavic did something no other coach has accomplished as his teams won three national championships. In addition to capturing the 1998 men’s and 1999

women’s titles, his 1999 men’s club team won the Men’s Senior National Club Championship. In 2003, Vavic pulled a coaching double sweep when he was named 2003 National and MPSF Coach of the Year for the men and 2004 National and MPSF Coach of the Year for the women.

Vavic has been with the USC women’s program since its inception in 1995, and the 2004 women’s team became the first team in NCAA Champion-ship history to go undefeated (29-0) during the regular season. USC’s 25-3 overall mark in 2010 culminated in the women’s program’s third national championship and 13th straight 20-win season. And in 2013, the Women of Troy played the longest NCAA women’s final in history, beat-ing Stanford in triple sudden-death overtime to win USC’s fourth National Championship. Overall, Vavic’s career record on the women’s side stands at 490-142 (.775) in 21 seasons as head coach. Vavic earned his 300th career win with the Women of Troy in the third-place game of the 2007 NCAA Tournament on May 13, 2007.

Vavic oversaw the women’s water polo team’s move from Division II in 1995 to Division I in 1996. In 1999, the USC women captured their first national championship. Since 1999 when the program was fully funded, Vavic’s record is 402-69 (.854). He has swept as National and MPSF Coach of the Year in 1999, 2004 and 2010.

Vavic spent the 1990 season as an assistant men’s coach at UCLA. Previously, he coached three seasons (1987-1990) at Palos Verdes High, with two undefeated league seasons (1987-89). Vavic served as a U.S. assistant coach at the 1995 World University Games, and was the head coach of the team in 2003. He also served as interim head coach for Team USA at the 2013 UANA World Aquatic Championship Qualification Tournament.

Vavic, a native of Yugoslavia, graduated from UCLA in 1992 with a bachelor’s degree in history. He and his wife, Lisa, have four children: Nikola, Monica, Marko and Stefan.

USC was host to the 2014 NCAA Tournament, set up to defend not only four straight championships but also to defend its own home

waters. Up against rival UCLA again in the final, USC fought out of a three-goal deficit and won it all again. It was the perfect finish to a

perfect 29-0 season for the Trojans.

USC became the first collegiate water polo team ever to win six consecutive NCAA championships when the Trojans forced their

way into another visit to the title match. Down by two to the upset-minded Pacific, USC came back and won it in overtime 12-11.

USC has long dominated the world of intercollegiate athletics. In fact, it could be argued that Troy was the “Collegiate Athletic Program of the 20th Century.” USC men and women have combined for 123 national team titles. Trojan men’s teams are tops in the nation in NCAA championships with 84 — more than any other university. Overall, USC’s men have won 97 national championships. USC has won the National Collegiate All-Sports Championship — an annual ranking by USA Today (previously The Knoxville Journal) of the country’s top men’s athletic programs — six times (1971-72-74-75-77-80) since its inception in 1971. USC’s women are also a force, with 26 national team titles, all since 1976, including two won in 2013 by the water polo and golf teams. From 1959-60 to 1984-85, USC put together an amazing streak. In each of those 26 years, at least one Trojan team won a national championship (including five crowns in both 1962-63 and 1976-77). Impressive recent streaks have been held by both the USC men's water polo and tennis teams. The tennis team won four in a row from 2009-12, and the water polo team has an active streak of six in a row.

In 2013, USC made history as the first collegiate water polo team to win six straight NCAA titles.

Students

USC’s diverse student body is a strength and source of pride. From its earliest days, USC aspired to diversity by instituting policies that assured no student would be denied admission because of race, color, religion, or gender. The university has attracted more international students over the years than any other American university. Currently, 11 percent of USC’s students represent over 110 countries. Equally important is the academic excellence that today’s USC students bring. USC accepted 80 percent of applicants from the top 10 percent of their high schools. The 2012 entering class’ SAT score average between 1950-2190 and GPA average is 3.7. But USC students are more than academic high-achievers. There have been more Trojans in the Olympics than any American university, and over 60 percent of the university’s students volunteer in community-service programs in neighborhoods around campus and throughout LA. Outstanding, well-rounded students are a hallmark of USC.

The extended family of USC is a global network made up of thousands of alumni, students, faculty, and staff, as well as parents of students, SCions (children and grandchildren of alumni), the Board of Trustees, the boards of councilors, donors, athletic fans, and neighborhood partners. But the uniqueness of the Trojan Family isn’t due to its vast numbers. Rather, it’s the extraordinary closeness and solidarity that is found in this genuinely supportive community. To its members, the term “Trojan Family” is more than a phrase: it represents a promise, a commitment to support that is lifelong and worldwide.

Faculty

USC’s faculty members aren’t just teachers of others’ works, but active contributors to what is taught, thought, and practiced throughout the world. The university’s faculty includes Nobel Prize laureate George A. Olah and 63 members of the National Academy of Sciences, National Academy of Engineering, and, Institute of Medicine. More than 200 faculty members have received prestigious academic and professional awards from organizations as varied as National Institutes of Health, the National Science Foundation, the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, the National Endowment for the Humanities, the John Simon Guggenheim Foundation, and the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences.

Alumni

USC’s first alumni association was founded in 1885, just a year after the university graduated its first class. Those initial eight men and women paved the way for today’s more than 229,000-member USC Alumni Association. Trojan alumni span all 50 states and virtually every region of the world. As leaders in their communities and professions, they bring recognition to their alma mater. Distinguished alumni include former U.S. Secretary of State Warren Christopher, astronaut Neil Armstrong, architect Frank Gehry, opera singer Marilyn Horne, symphony conductor Michael Tilson Thomas, film director George Lucas, and baseball pitcher Mark Prior. The talents and commitment of its alumni are among USC’s greatest strengths.

Traveler

Traveler, the noble white horse that appears at all USC home football games with a regal Trojan warrior astride, is one of the most famous college mascots. Traveler f irst made an appearance at USC football games in 1961. Bob Jani, then USC’s director of special events, and Eddie Tannenbaum, then a junior at USC, had spotted Richard Saukko riding his white horse, Traveler I, in the 1961 Rose Parade. They persuaded Saukko to ride his white horse during USC games, serving as a mascot. Ever since, whenever USC scores, the band plays “Conquest” and Traveler gallops around the Coliseum. The current Trojan mascot is Traveler VII. Even though the breed of horse may have changed over the years — Travelers I through VI ranged from an Arabian/Tennessee Walker to a pure-bred Tennessee Walker to a pure-bred Arabian to an Andalusian — Traveler’s color has always remained pure white. In the fall of 2004, USC alumnus Bill Tilley ('61) and his wife, Nadine, donated $2 million to provide a permanent endowment to support Traveler. Besides the horses, USC once even had a canine mascot. A mutt named George Tirebiter I (famous for chasing cars through the USC campus) first appeared at football games in 1940. He survived a publicized dognapping by UCLA in 1947, but succumbed under the tires of an automobile in 1950. He was succeeded by George II for three years(1950-52), then George III for one year (1953) and finally George IV for one year (1957).

Tommy Trojan

In the center of the USC campus stands one of the most famous collegiate landmarks in the country: Tommy Trojan. Since being unveiled in 1930 for USC’s 50th jubilee, the statue of the bronzed Trojan warrior has served not only as a popular meeting place on campus, but as a symbol of the university’s fighting spirit. Sculpted by Roger Noble Burnham, Tommy Trojan cost $10,000 to build. A $1 surcharge then on season football tickets helped pay for it. The statue is a composite of many USC football players from the late 20s, most notably 1930 Rose Bowl Player of the Game Russ Saunders and

All-American Erny Pinckert. Inscribed on the statue’s base is “THE TROJAN” and the university’s seal, with the Latin motto “Palmam qui meruit ferat (Let him who deserves it bear away the palm).” Below the seal are inscribed the qualities of the ideal Trojan: “Faithful, Scholarly, Skillful, Courageous and Ambitious.”

Cardinal and Gold

Before 1895, the official color of USC was gold. The official color of the College of Liberal Arts was cardinal. The college had its own official color because it was the largest academic unit in the University. In 1895, both colors were adopted as USC’s official colors.

“Trojans”

USC’s nickname, “Trojans,” originated in 1912. Up to that time, USC’s teams were called the Methodists or Wesleyans, nicknames which were not looked upon with favor by university officials. So, Warren Bovard, director of athletics and son of university president Dr. George Bovard, asked Los Angeles Times sports editor Owen Bird to select an appropriate nickname. “At this time, the athletes and coaches of the university were under terrific handicaps,” recalled Bird. “They were facing teams that were bigger and better-equipped, yet they had splendid fighting spirit. The name ‘Trojans’ fitted them.”

The Spirit Of Troy

The Trojan Marching Band - known as “The Spirit of Troy” - is perhaps the most dynamic and innovative collegiate band in the nation. Named among the eight best marching bands in the country by USA Today, the

band is one of the most visible tools of the University. Established in 1880, the band has played for seven Presidents, appeared in numerous movies, commercials and television shows, and has even produced several records of its own music. The band marches upwards of 80 miles a year while traveling across the land supporting almost every USC athletic team. A typical football halftime show by the band takes more than 4,000 work hours to prepare. Now 300-plus members strong, the Trojan Marching Band has tripled in size since Dr. Arthur C. Bartner became its director in 1969.

USC Athletics celebrated the ceremonious groundbreaking on Nov. 2, 2012 of the $16 million Uytengsu Aquatics Center, made possible by the record $8 million lead gift by former walk-on swimmer and 1983 swim captain Fred Uytengsu. The gift is the largest ever to Athletics from a former student-athlete.

The $16 million Uytengsu Aquatics Center includes a new stadium entrance, diving and dryland training areas, men's and women's locker rooms, coaches' offices, meeting rooms, a new scoreboard, permanent seating and renovation of the diving tower and pool deck. In May 2014, the brand-new venue was host to the 2014 NCAA Women's Water Polo Championships.
