And LSJU wins, 15-9 after going up 12-5 in the third quarter! Never seriously threatened in the second half.
Now comes the harder part. First, beat Ucla tomorrow afternoon.

The last 4 minutes and the opponent’s goals were all keep-away by Stanford with no attempt to play offense or even get the ball anywhere near the goal. That’s why it was as close as it was. I presume that happened in the UCLA 14-11 game

Yes, Ucla led Princeton by 11-5 in the third. Yet, earlier this season Ucla beat Princeton by 23-10.
So you're telling me there's a chance . . .

Not surprisingly, USC won its bye against Fordham 16-7. Game on in 5 minutes.

Ah darn, UCLA wins 8-7 - Bruins were tough in the middle down the stretch
Edit 9-7 - looks like they counted that last second empty goal score after all

Large loud Avery crowd and great game, until the last couple minutes. Questionable exclusion in my view led to the go ahead Ucla goal; the ref hadn't called any of the fouls on both teams' centers, until late 4th quarter, in a tie game??
Terrific defense by both teams too. So many blocked shots by defenders. LSJU must have had about 2 minutes of consecutive possession in the 4th quarter with fresh shot clocks after Ucla blocks went out of bounds, but could not convert. Not sure Balogh ever had a shot reach the goal, and even the all world Ryder Dodd had very few open looks.
Ucla vs. Usc tomorrow for the title. How about a 0-0 tie.

UCLA scored at the final gun to win the national championship 11-10.

Here's some good transfer news for Stanford sports, at least in terms of quality players transferring in rather than out:

Thanks the links. I don't see reference to their incoming academic standing at Stanford, but anyway it shows that upperclassmen+ can transfer in, regardless of many of us bemoaning that it's nearly impossible.

Herzer initially enrolled at USC in 2022 and red shirted his first year so I would guess he has one year of eligibility remaining and is a grad transfer (maybe post-bacc)

Rozolis-Hill also appears to have initially enrolled at Harvard in 2022 so I would guess also a grad transfer
https://gocrimson.com/sports/mens-water-polo/roster/james-rozolis-hill/29085
he does not appear to have played for them in 2025 so likely one year of eligibility left.
