Thanks MT for pointing this out.

One of my current students is the SJSU goalie and will be playing in this big tournament.  She is a frosh who unexpectedly got subbed into a game a few weeks ago and performed so well that she has become the starter, winning player of the week in the conference.  She said their top priority was beating C.al, and after they did that, they were determined to beat hated U.SC.  I nearly wept tears of joy.  A great kid and a dream student.

Earlier this year we (Stanford) beat them (SJSU) fairly handily, but they nearly pulled off an upset over #1 U.SC 9-10.  She says they stayed after their game and cheered as Stanford took on U.SC, and she and the SJSU team took a little credit for swimming SC absolutely ragged just before they had to take on Stanford.  Something I did not realize is that water polo teams often play two games in the same day.  They must burn 11,000 calories!

Well, I have had zero interest in water polo before, but I think I shall take an interest in this tournament.  My alma mater and my student are involved.  I just hope the two do not wind up colliding!
