Juliette Dhalluin scored three goals Sunday, and the Stanford defense allowed only one second-half goal to help the Cardinal beat Southern California 11-7 to claim their 10th NCAA women's water polo championship and third in the past four seasons.

Christine Carpenter, a sophomore from Yucaipa High, had nine saves as the Cardinal defense limited the Trojans to one goal after halftime.
