SANTA CLARA, Calif. — The Santa Clara University men's water polo team announced Tuesday its 2025 schedule, which includes 11 home dates, six West Coast Conference games and participation in three marquee tournaments.
 
The Broncos (13-11, 2-4 WCC) will host three WCC games, two against last season's top-two finishers in the standings – Pacific (Oct. 5) and Pepperdine (Nov. 14). They'll also host major non-conference clashes against nationally ranked programs UC Davis (Sept. 27), UC Santa Barbara (Oct. 3), Long Beach State (Oct. 11), and Stanford (Nov. 5). Santa Clara will also host its annual Julian Fraser Memorial tournament on Oct. 24-26.

"As a coaching staff, we are really excited for what is in store this coming season," said Santa Clara University head coach Keith Wilbur. "Between tournaments, non-conference head-to-head games and conference play within the WCC, we face a lot of really strong opponents in 2025."
 
Santa Clara kicks off its season in August with two games in one day on Aug. 30. It takes on Fresno Pacific before facing host UC Merced in the Central Valley. It then heads to the annual Princeton Invitational on the East Coast on Sept. 5-7, where it'll play three games in three days. Two weeks later, the Broncos head to Southern California to take part in the MPSF Invite against some of the top programs in the country, hosted by UCLA this season.
 
"In my time at Santa Clara, this will be our toughest strength of schedule in a season, and the team is really looking forward to the challenge," added Wilbur.
 
WCC road trips to California Baptist (Oct. 16), San Jose State (Oct. 18) and Air Force (Nov. 8) round out the regular season schedule. The third annual WCC Tournament will be held on Nov. 21-23 on the campus of the Air Force Academy in Colorado. The NCAA Championship is being hosted this season by Stanford from Dec. 5-7.
