Slideshow Jamie Neushul and the Stanford women's water polo team will learn of its NCAA tournament fate on Monday Previous Next

Top-ranked and regular-season champion UCLA scored three unanswered goals in the second half to beat No. 2 Stanford 6-3 in the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation tournament championship match Sunday at UCLA.

Stanford (20-3), the only school to appear in all 16 NCAA championships since its inception in 2001, will learn its seed during Monday's selection show on NCAA.com at 5 p.m. The Cardinal is expected to be the No. 2 overall seed after beating USC in Saturday's semifinal.

The NCAA women's water polo championships begin May 12 at IU Natatorium on the campus of IUPUI in Indianapolis and are hosted by Indiana and the Indiana Sports Corp.

A runner-up MPSF tournament finish isn't an indicator of NCAA success, at least for the Cardinal. Despite winning four of the past six national championships, 2014 was the only season in the past 11 in which Stanford won a conference crown.

Stanford took its only lead, 3-2, on some beautiful ball movement midway through the second quarter. Jamie Neushul hit Maggie Steffens with a cross pass and Steffens dumped it in front to Jordan Raney, who buried the go-ahead goal past Carlee Kapana (4:47).
