The #2 UCLA Bruin Women’s Water Polo team is in the Semi-Finals of the NCAA Tournament after they defeated #7 UC San Diego on Friday. The Bruins face the #3 USC Trojans today at Uytensu Aquatics Center on the campus of Southern California at 5:15p.m.

As it stands, it is an all-California semi-final as #1 Stanford takes on #4 Cal in the other match, which takes place right before the UCLA-USC contest. The Championship Game will take place tomorrow at 8:30p.m.
The Bruins look to continue their success behind the talents of Rachal Fattal and Alys Williams. Both women scored hat tricks in the 12-8 win over UCSD and do not show signs of slowing down. If the Bruins can defeat the Trojans today, they would face the Cardinal-Bear winner for a chance to win their 8th national title and UCLA’s 111th overall championship in school history.
But first things first, it is time to #BeatSC!
We take on crosstown rivals once again! Tomorrow at 5:15pm, Uytengsu AC -- See you there! #GoBruins #NCAASemis pic.twitter.com/hY4FhtoeOw
