Corlett, Linda Robertson, Jeanne Beauprey, Michelle Boyette, Liz
Masakayan, Merja Connolly, Ann Boyer, Holly McPeak, Patty Orozco,

Championships: SCWIAC (1975), WCAA (1978, 1983), Pac-10
(1986, 1988-'90, 1992, 1993), DGWS (1971), AIAW (1974, 1975), NCAA
(1984, 1990, 1991)
Magic moment: With UCLA down 13-7 in the fifth
and deciding game of the 1984 NCAA championship in Pauley Pavilion,
star hitter Liz Masakayan spiked the ball out of bounds. But the
referee called Stanford's blockers for a "touch" -- a ruling that
could still be debated -- and UCLA went on to pull out the game,
and the title, 15-13. (Coincidentally, another "phantom touch" call
went Bruin Elaine Youngs' way in the 1991 championship game, again
at Pauley, helping UCLA pull out another title after having been
down 0-2 to Cal State Long Beach.)
Water
polo (since 1995)
Notables: Nicolle Payne, Coralie Simmons, Catherine von Schwarz
Championships: National Collegiate (1996-'98)
Magic moment: The Bruins beat Cal last season to win their
third straight national title in front of the biggest crowd ever
for women's intercollegiate water polo. Making the victory even
sweeter is that it was close to home (at USC), so family and friends
could share the triumph.
