Today’s Top Tier Performance presented by ARCO goes to USC men’s water polo’s Carson Kranz. The fifth-year Trojan scored eight goals at the MPSF Tournament last weekend, going big with a career-high five goals in a crucial semifinal win over No. 2 Stanford. He scored three of those goals during overtime to help secure the Trojans' trip to the title match where he punched in another en route to a victory.
