FRESNO, Calif. - The NCAA Women's Water Polo committee announced tonight the seedings for the 2023 National Collegiate Women's Water Polo Championship, hosted by Pacific on May 12-14 at the Chris Kjeldsen Pool at the Douglass M. Eberhardt Aquatics Center in Stockton, Calif.
Â
The Golden Coast Conference tournament champion Fresno State will compete against No. 2 USC (26-2) in the quarterfinal round on Friday, May 12. The game is scheduled for 4 p.m. PT.
Â
The Bulldogs (18-8) received an automatic bid to the NCAA championship as the conference tournament champions, along with five other conference champions. The remaining three teams were selected at-large without geographical restrictions. USC was an at-large bid as the Trojans took second place in the MPSF this season, falling to Stanford.
Â
Fresno State, in just its sixth year of competition, has made the NCAA tournament in each of the last three seasons. The Bulldogs faced then-No. 2 USC in the quarterfinal round of the 2022 championship, and defeated Cal Lutheran in the opening round play-in game in 2021.
