Pain and suffering.
It’s on his mind every waking moment of the day.
But it’s not his own pain and suffering that UCLA football
player Danny Nelson finds himself constantly reflecting upon.

UCLA coach Adam Krikorian will have the chance to etch his name
into the record books for the second time in his coaching career
this weekend at the NCAA Women’s Water Polo
Championships.

The development of sophomore Kacy Kunkel into a key contributor
for the top-ranked UCLA women’s water polo team this season
can be attributed to many factors.

On Wednesday afternoon at Sunset Canyon Recreation Center, the
top-ranked UCLA women’s water polo team further staked its
claim to being the greatest women’s water polo team of all
time.

When the top-ranked UCLA women’s water polo team squares
off against fifth-ranked Long Beach State this afternoon at Sunset
Canyon Recreation Center, it will signify the final home game for
one of collegiate women’s water polo’s most celebrated
players.

As the undefeated UCLA women’s water polo team continues
to roll along toward a perfect season, some of the best players in
the world continue to make sacrifices.

This weekend, the top-ranked UCLA women’s water polo team
will head north to continue its road trip against No. 7 Cal on
Saturday and unranked Pacific on Sunday.

With the start of the postseason less than a month away, UCLA
women’s water polo coach Adam Krikorian acknowledged that he
is concerned about his team’s state of mind, despite a pair
of victories over UC Irvine, 14-4, and Arizona State, 12-0, this
past Thursday and Saturday, respectively.

Few opposing coaches will admit it, but UCLA coach Adam
Krikorian believes he knows exactly what they’re thinking. He
realizes there may be envy among other coaches of the surplus of
talent UCLA has at its disposal every time the Bruins jump in the
pool.

It’s a friendly rivalry in the truest sense.
Cal State Northridge women’s water polo coach Molly Barnes
and UCLA coach Adam Krikorian, roommates in college at UCLA,
continue to remain close friends today, despite the fact that they
now coach for different universities.
