The Vavic family name is littered throughout the pages of the USC men's and women's water polo history books, usually near the top. Like her brother Nikola, Monica Vavic will end her career as the program's all-time leading scorer, setting the new mark with four more goals in the Women of Troy's 17-9 win over No. 6 Arizona State.Click here for the recap.
Nikola was quickly passed the following year by his teammate Kostas Genidounias, so Monica will want to use her remaining games to build up a cushion, knowing her father Jovan, head coach of both the men's and women's program's, will soon reload with more all-world talent. Of course, Monica's main goal is leading the Trojans to another national championship, and No. 3 USC is looking like a contender at 15-2 on the season.
The Women of Troy are spending spring break in Hawaii, matching up against their hosts in Honolulu as well as Pomona-Pitzer and the Brazilian National Team (exhibition). They only have one more home match this season against San Jose State on April 11.
Here are the John McGillen photos from Monica Vavic's record-setting night:
