UCLA Men’s Water Polo Make History
The UCLA Men’s Water Polo team has done something that no other program in NCAA history has been able to do… own the longest win streak in Men’s Collegiate Water Polo History.
Your UCLA Men’s Water Polo team has achieved the impossible. They have broken the record for most consecutive victories and now hold the longest win streak in NCAA history with 52 consecutive wins.
The #1 UCLA Men’s Water Polo team continue their streak of dominance after two consecutive NCAA titles in 2014 and 2015. This season the Bruins are in the hunt for a third straight as they are tearing through this 2016 season with a 19-0 record.
The Bruins achieved this latest feat on Sunday at Schaal Aquatic Center at #11 UC Davis with a dominating 15-8 win. And this was against a ranked opponent, which tells you how strong this team is.

The Bruins were led by junior Alex Roelse who had a team-high three goals. Four other Bruins added two goals each.
The Bruins look to extend their streak to 53 this Thursday when they travel north to face UC Santa Barbara. The Men’s Water Polo team then continues MPSF conference play Saturday at Cal. Then it is only four games until the MPSF Championships.
The Bruins face Stanford, San Jose State and Whittier College at Speiker Aquatic Center on the campus of UCLA. The Bruins then finish the regular season at USC, the team they dethroned as NCAA Champs two years ago.
