5 UCLA AND TEAM USA UCLA and the Olympic Games The new millennium brought a new event women s water polo to the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney, Australia. In Sydney, nearly 17,000 fans watched the gold medal match between the United States and host Australia. In its first year as an Olympic sport, women s water polo included six countries that each rounded up their top 11 players to compete. In a wild championship match between Australia and Team USA, Australia scored a controversial last-second goal to win 4-3, and send the United States home with the silver medal. In 2000, then-current Bruins and, former Bruin standout and former head coach Guy Baker helped lead Team USA on its quest to the gold medal. While competing at UCLA, both SImmons and Beauregard spent the year away from UCLA. Simmons led Team USA with nine goals in the Olympics, and Beauregard finished the tournament with six goals. UCLA was the most represented university in the 2000 Olympic Games. In all, 58 Olympians from UCLA (current and former Bruins) competed for the United States and six foreign countries. Student-athletes from UCLA finished the summer with 18 medals eight gold, five silver, and five bronze. photo by Donald Miralle Amber Stachowski competed in Athens in 2004 photo by Daniel Berehulak Team USA 2004 bronze medal ceremony Four years later, seven UCLA women s water polo players and former head coach Guy Baker spent two weeks in Athens, Greece, at the 2004 Olympic Games. Six former and current Bruins helped lead Team USA to a bronze medal-winning finish, and Kelly Heuchan competed for Australia, which finished fourth. Then-current Bruins, Thalia Munro, Amber Stachowski, Kelly Rulon and Gabrielle Domanic (alternate) competed alongside Payne and Beauregard. Baker, who directed the UCLA water polo program for 10 years prior, continued his winning ways with the U.S. water polo program. Team USA captured a narrow 7-6 win over Hungary in game one, as Rulon netted the game-winning goal. Rulon finished the opening contest with two goals, and Golda added one goal. In the team s second match, Team USA lost to Canada, 6-5. Both Rulon and Beauregard tallied one goal against the Canadian National Team. In the U.S. team s third game, the Americans downed Russia, 8-4, thanks in part to goals from Beauregard (2), Rulon and Stachowski. Munro added one goal in Team USA s 6-5 loss to Italy, paving the way for a showdown between the United States and Australia. In the bronze medal contest, Team USA registered a 6-5 win, as UCLA s athletes scored three of the six goals Beauregard, Golda and Stachowski each scored once. Overall in all athletic events in Athens, UCLA ranked among the nation s most successful universities. UCLA finished No. 1 among all universities in the number of different medalists (19) and the number of total Olympians (56). Current and former Bruins earned a total of 19 medals, including eight gold medals. UCLA athletes also claimed three silver medals and eight bronze medals.

Bruin National Team Experience UCLA women s water polo players have been well represented on the U.S. Junior and Senior National Teams. Both teams have had recent success in international competition.
