BRIEFS:Cal, Mann NCAA champs

LOS ANGELES — Cal's Jeff Tyrell scored a goal at the fourth-quarter buzzer, lifting the Bears to a 7-6 win over USC and the 2006 NCAA Men's Water Polo Championship at Loyola Marymount on Sunday.

Cal senior John Mann, a Corona del Mar High product, scored a goal in the third quarter, giving the Golden Bears their first lead of the game at 5-4. He also earned a five-meter penalty shot for teammate Brian Bacharach in the second quarter.

Mann was named to the all-tournament team.

Cal beat the Trojans in both the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation championship game and the NCAA championship, earning its 12th men's water polo national championship.

Tyrell's goal came after USC's Thomas Hale tied the score with just two seconds left in regulation.
