Lions Earn Three-Peat Men's water polo claims third straight WWPA title with 5-4 win over rival UC San Diego. Tournament Central Loyola Marymount's Max Schlegel broke a 4-4 tie, scoring a goal with 4:01 left in the fourth quarter and the Lions held on to win their third consecutive WWPA championship with a 5-4 victory over U.C. San Diego. WWPA Player of the Year and championships MVP Andy Stevens was brilliant in goal, making 14 saves, including all four of the Tritons' shots on goal in the fourth. Schlegel's goal gave LMU its first lead of the game, although it was never far behind. U.C. San Diego jumped on top with a 1-0 lead after one quarter thanks to a goal by Peter Gresham. The top-seeded Lions rallied in the second quarter to even the score heading into halftime. All-Tournament selection Andrew Aki knotted the game at 2 with 3:14 to play in the half. UCSD again took leads of 3-2 and 4-3 in the third quarter on back-to-back goals from Sean Cruz. LMU's Tibor Forai tied the game at 4 with 26 seconds to play in the third. Tritons' goalie David Morton was tough, as well, making four of his nine saves in the fourth quarter to keep the game close. LMU, ranked No. 5 in the nation, earns the WWPA's automatic berth to the NCAA national championships hosted by Princeton University on Dec. 5-6. 2009 WWPA CHAMPIONSHIP SCHEDULE/RESULTS Friday, November 21 - Dark Caps vs. White Caps Game 1 - #7 Whittier 10, #2 Air Force 9 Game 2 - #3 UCSD 14, #6 Redlands 13 (OT) Game 3 - #1 LMU 13, #8 Chapman 3 Game 4 - #4 Santa Clara 8, #5 UC Davis 6 Saturday, November 21, 2009 Game 5 - #2 Air Force 15, #6 Redlands 12 Game 6 - #5 UC Davis 11, #8 Chapman 5 Game 7 - #1 LMU 12, #4 Santa Clara 7 (Semifinals) Game 8 - #3 UC San Diego 16, #7 Whittier 3 (Semifinals) Sunday, November 22, 2009 Game 9 - #6 Redlands 12, #8 Chapman 9 (7th Place) Game 10 - #5 UC Davis 10, #2 Air Force 8 (5th Place) Game 11 - #4 Santa Clara 17, #7 Whittier 9 (3rd Place) Game 12 - #1 LMU 5, #3 UC San Diego 4 (WWPA Championship) http://chapmanathletics.com/wwpa/indexhttp://lmulions.cstv.com/http://chapmanathletics.com/wwpa/results1120http://chapmanathletics.com/wwpa/results1120http://chapmanathletics.com/wwpa/results1120http://chapmanathletics.com/wwpa/results1120http://chapmanathletics.com/wwpa/results1121http://chapmanathletics.com/wwpa/results1121http://chapmanathletics.com/wwpa/results1121http://chapmanathletics.com/wwpa/results1121http://chapmanathletics.com/wwpa/results1122http://chapmanathletics.com/wwpa/results1122http://chapmanathletics.com/wwpa/results1122http://chapmanathletics.com/wwpa/results1122shapeimage_2_link_0shapeimage_2_link_1shapeimage_2_link_2shapeimage_2_link_3shapeimage_2_link_4shapeimage_2_link_5shapeimage_2_link_6shapeimage_2_link_7shapeimage_2_link_8shapeimage_2_link_9shapeimage_2_link_10shapeimage_2_link_11shapeimage_2_link_12shapeimage_2_link_13
