If the Aztecs emerge victorious over the Aggies, they will take on the winner of the UCLA/Pomona-Pitzer game in the semifinals on Saturday, May 10, starting at 4 p.m. If SDSU stumbles, it will lock horns with the loser of the Bruins-Sagehens showdown at 2:15 p.m. that same day. The national championship game will be contested at 6 p.m. on Sunday, May 11, and will be telecast live on College Sports Television (CSTV). The NCAA Women's Water Polo Championship was established in 2001. UCLA has captured five tournament crowns (2001, 2003, 2005, 2006, 2007), while Stanford (2002) and USC (2004) have claimed one title apiece. Prior to NCAA sponsorship in 2001, San Diego State competed in the Collegiate National Championships for six consecutive seasons from 1995-2000. The Aztecs' best showing in the defunct tournament was a runner-up finish in 1995, the program's first year of varsity competition. SDSU cruised to four straight wins before dropping an 8-7 heartbreaker to Slippery Rock in the championship finals. The Scarlet and Black also placed third in 1996 and 1997. |
San Diego, California - San Diego State (29-6) begins its quest for a national title this weekend when it heads north for the 2008 National Collegiate Women's Water Polo Championship, May 9-11, in Stanford, California.
