USA Water
Polo, in collaboration with the NCAA and ESPN, is excited to once again present

biggest prize in college water polo will be decided at the Spieker Aquatics
Complex on campus at the University of California, Berkeley in Berkeley, CA
live on ESPNU and ESPN+ on Sunday, May 12 at 10 p.m. ET/7 p.m. PT.
Outside

ESPN networks and digital platforms in parts of Latin America, the Caribbean,
Australia/New Zealand, Netherlands, and Africa, and via the TSN+
direct-to-consumer streaming service in Canada.
The field

from around the country. Six conference champions from the Big West (Hawaii),
CWPA (Princeton), GCC (Fresno State), MAAC (Wagner), MPSF (UCLA) and WWPA
(Biola). California, Stanford and USC were selected as at-large participants.
Stanford claimed their second straight title in 2023, defeating USC in
Stockton, CA.

Villa (analyst) joined by Greg Mescall (play-by-play) poolside from Cal.

2022, USA Water Polo, ESPN and the NCAA reached a new agreement that brought
the NCAA Women’s Water Polo Championship back to national television for the
first time in more than a decade. The multi-year commitment, which also
includes the NCAA Men’s Water Polo Championship in the fall, continues through
2023-24.
