UCLA claimed its first NCAA women’s polo title since 2009 with a 7-4 win over California on Sunday at Berkeley, completing its first undefeated season since 2008 to win the program’s seventh national championship.

The Bruins (26-0) are the first team since USC in 2016 to complete a perfect season and only the fifth in NCAA women’s water polo history.

The title is UCLA’s 123rd overall in all sports, trailing only Stanford, which has 135.

After guiding the UCLA men’s program to four national titles in 15 seasons as the head coach, Adam Wright won his first NCAA championship at the helm of the women’s team.
