2005 University of Southern California Men’s Water Polo pionship game against Stanford on Sept. 18, Valovic was a perfect 4-for-4 off the lane line. He did the same against Pepperdine, and went 3-for-3 against LMU last week. ••• MASS PRODUCTION: The Trojans’ overall offensive production and defensive control have become glaringly apparant. On the attacking end of the pool, USC is averaging 9.5 goals per game, while allowing a mere 4.4 per game. The Trojan defense has not allowed more than five goals in the past seven games. ••• LEAPFROG: After four more goals last weekend, Juraj Zatovic jacked up his career scoring numbers to 177 to place him just two goals shy of tying for the No. 2 spot on the USC all-time charts. If Zatovic can muster up 13 more goals before season’s end, he’ll be in the history books for the top mark in USC history. ••• CAGE FIGHTERS: The red-capped tandem of sophomore Adam Shilling and junior Don Ricci has proven a potent one-two punch for the Trojans. Together, they have 63 saves, and in the SoCal Tournament title game on Sept. 18, the pair shared in the championship effort. When Shilling was ejected in the second quarter, Ricci was able to sub in and make the stop on the Cardinal 6-on-5 attack. Shilling stepped back in at the half, and anchored the Trojans the rest of the way to the win. Last weekend, junior goalir Justin McCain stepped in for his first time in the cage this season and tallied four saves against Brown. ••• SHUTTING IT DOWN: When junior goalie Don Ricci took to the cage on Sept. 24 against Occidental, he also took hold of a piece of Trojan history by helping anchor USC to its first shutout victory since a 12-0 win over Cal State Los Angeles in 1988. Ricci posted four saves in the win, a testament to the powerful Trojan defense in field. ••• HOME POOL ADVANTAGE: After battling through regular-season competition, USC will play host to the crucial MPSF tournament (Nov. 25-27), where conference teams will vie for the championship title and an automatic bid into the eight-team NCAA Tournament. All the action is set to go down at McDonald’s Swim Stadium. •••
