History
The NCAA Men's Water Polo Championship has existed since the 1969 season. No school from outside the state of California has ever surpassed third place. Hence, no non-California school has ever participated in the NCAA Men's Water Polo Championship game. UCLA defeated USC in the 2014 men’s final, whilst Stanford defeated UCLA in the women’s.
