BERKELEY – After two overtime periods, the next goal would decide the match.
And the Bruins were on the wrong end of the call.

Just one win away from the next stage of the postseason.
But before the NCAA tournament picture comes into focus, the Bruins must first navigate a conference bracket that has defined the sport for decades.
No. 3 seed UCLA women’s water polo (18-3, 4-2 MPSF) will begin its postseason campaign against No. 6 seed Indiana (15-9, 1-5) in the MPSF tournament commencing at the Spieker Aquatics Complex in Berkeley on Friday.
