UNDERSTANDING THE GAME OF UNDERSTANDING THE GAME OF

WATER POLOWATER POLOWater Polo can be a confusing game for spectators. Th e whistle is constantly blowing and the play never stops, even when someone is ejected for a penalty. In addition, there are many misconceptions about the game, including how the players keep their horses swimming. Well hang in there, because the following information should help to make the picture much clearer.

General Information1. Each team has six fi eld players and a goalie.2. Field players can only use one hand to touch the ball, goalies two.3. Games consist of 7-minute quarters for club divisions, 8-minute quarters for varsity divisions.4. Th e object of the game is to score by placing the ball completely in the goal. Players may move the ball by swim-ming or passing.5. Teams may substitute after a goal is scored, during a time-out or during the play from the ejection area.6. Each team receives three time-outs and one 20-second time-out per game.7. Shots blocked out of bounds by defensive players result in the defensive team receiving possession. If a defender uses two hands to block a shot, the off ensive team receives a penalty shot.

FoulsWhen an infraction of the rules occurs, the referee will point in the direction of the team taking possession, while blowing his whistle. Th e ball is put back into play with an action called a free throw. Th is means the player gets three seconds of free time to throw the ball to an-other teammate or swim it up the pool. A player cannot shoot a free throw unless outside the fi ve-meter line. If the ball is not put into play within three seconds, the other team takes possession.

Fouls can be ordinary or major. Ordinary fouls are best understood as minor fouls. For example, a defender may reach over an opponent’s back to get at the ball while facing away from the goal. Th e penalty for an ordinary foul is a free throw for the opposing team.

Major fouls are more severe and are penalized accord-ingly. For example, when a defender fouls an opponent too aggressively, or from behind when the opponent is facing the goal, the defender is ejected for 20 seconds (players may reenter the game if their team recovers the ball before the ejection time is up, or if the opposing team scores). When the foul occurs within fi ve meters of the goal and the referee believes the player had a high chance of scoring, the opposition shoots a penalty shot. Major fouls can also occur through disrespect to the referee or when a player interferes with an opponent’s free throw. Players may only receive three major fouls before elimination.

If all of this has you totally confused, just sit back and enjoy the game. Th e easiest way to follow the play is by watching the scoreboard. If your team is ahead at the end, great! If not, well consider that you have expanded your horizons. When the game is over, you can at least explain to your friends that the horses never get wet.

Affi liate OrganizationsThere are many organizations affi liated with the sport of wa-ter polo and the landscape can be somewhat confusing when trying to sort out which entity offers what services. To make matters a little easier to understand, the organizations can be divided into two basic groups: scholastic and non scholastic. The scholastic organizations are those that have some affi lia-tion with the educational system. These include college, high school, junior college and middle school teams, as well as their respective administrative bodies that offer competitive leagues and support. In this category one would fi nd state sanctioning organizations, the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), the National Association for Intercollegiate Athlet-ics (NAIA) and all the collegiate conferences recognized by the NCAA or NAIA. Each individual organization operates independently with its own governing structure.

The NCAA and the NAIA are two organizations that serve a unique position. They each provide a supervisory role for their member schools. The colleges and universities that are members of each respective organization choose to establish and follow a set of guidelines that govern competition. Spe-cifi cally, these guidelines include eligibility, academic progress for their student-athletes, competitive rules, championship guidelines, recruiting and fi nancial aid.

Schools that become members of one of these organizations agree to abide by the rules and principles established within the organization. The NCAA and NAIA provide oversight for the varsity teams on campus, not the collegiate clubs.

In addition to the NCAA and NAIA, there are conferences that operate for the purpose of arranging competition for their member institutions. Some conferences, like the Big East, Ivy League or Atlantic Coast Conference, handle multi-ple sports, while others like the CWPA handle a single sport. With respect to water polo, all clubs that are eligible for the National Collegiate Club Championship are members of the CWPA. To understand the difference between the league and the NCAA or NAIA, think of the conference on a small-er scale performing similar functions for its member insti-tutions. The conference works with the national governing bodies (NCAA and NAIA) to help provide competitive op-portunities and services, yet remains an independent organi-zation with its own governing system and budget.

Non-scholastic organizations include all other entities that provide the opportunity for people to be involved in the sport outside of an educational institution. These include YMCAs, Boys & Girls Clubs, parks & recreation programs, privately organized clubs, township/city programs and independent organizations like American Water Polo. United States Water Polo fi ts under this category as well, serving as the National Governing Body for the sport. They are also responsible for supporting and training Olympic teams for men and women.

For more information about any specifi c organization, con-tact the CWPA offi ce at 610-277-6787.

History of the CWPAThe Collegiate Water Polo Association originally began as the Mid Atlantic Conference, founded by Dick Russell in the 1970’s. Its founding membership included teams from Mary-land, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and New York.

The conference relied on volunteer coaches until 1990, when it hired a commissioner to perform basic scheduling for the 15 member teams. Offi ciating assignments at the time were performed by an independent organization called the Eastern Water Polo Referees Association (EWPRA).

The next major milepost occurred in 1993, when the Southern and New England Conferences merged into the Mid Atlantic. The new structure combined all of the varsity teams in the East, along with the few sport clubs in existence at that time.

During the 1995 season, the conference received its fi rst major challenge, as the organization experienced a strike by its offi -ciating core. This strike ultimately resulted in the organization establishing its own offi ciating bureau, assuming responsibility for all of its offi ciating assignments. The conference hired Tere Ma as its inaugural Director of Offi cials and Loren Bertocci as its fi rst Technical Director. These two individuals laid the groundwork for the Offi ciating Bureau that exists today.

The conference has grown over the years as well, with several key milestones marking the progress. In 2001, the women split into collegiate club and varsity competition for the fi rst time as the CWPA expanded to over 200 teams. This rapid growth forced a move to larger offi ce quarters in 2003, with the CWPA heading across the river to Bridgeport, Pennsylvania where it currently resides. In 2005 six women’s teams were launched to help establish water polo as a conference sport in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference, giving these institutions an auto-matic bid to the NCAA Championship and helping the sport grow in new areas. In 2006 the Offi ciating Bureau took a leap forward with the establishment of a Technical Committee to oversee education, evaluation, and assignment of referees. On-line education for referees was initiated at this same time allow-ing for greater access to all of our offi cials.

From a media standpoint, 2009 witnessed the launch of a new website and in 2010 we streamed games live for the fi rst time with a one-camera set-up. In 2012 the conference made a large commitment to multimedia in both equipment and staff to better serve the membership. One outgrowth of this deci-sion changed the live streaming of our championships to full-blown productions using three cameras, instant replay and a live announcer for play-by-play, similar in style to a television broadcast. It also provided the means to offer more competi-tion streamed throughout the country, much more interactive content on the website, as well as increased online education.

Today the conference fi elds over 280 teams nationwide, with four full-time staff members, as well as interns in sports pho-tography, multimedia, sports information, marketing and event management.

Varsity ClassThe top three teams from the Northern Division Champi-onship and the top fi ve teams from the Southern Division Championship earn automatic berths in the 12-team CWPA Championship tournament. The fi nal four positions for the championship are selected on an At-Large basis by the Var-sity Governance Council from the teams not earning auto-matic positions in the fi eld. The fi rst place team at the CWPA Championship qualifi es for the NCAA National Champion-ship in December.

Northern Division Teams play a double round robin schedule within the division to determine regular season rankings. All teams attend the division championship, with the seeding determined by the won/loss records during the season.

Southern Division Teams play double round robin schedule in the eastern region and a single round robin schedule in the western region. All teams are seeded by the division coaches for the champion-ship, in which everyone attends.

Sport Club ClassTeams are divided into divisions, based on geography. The top team from each division championship qualifi es for either the National Collegiate Club Championship or the Division III National Collegiate Club Championship.

Atlantic Division Teams are divided into two brackets according to their fi nish during the prior season. Each bracket plays double round robin.

Tie Breaker System - All SituationsIf at any time two teams are tied in regular season record or goal differential in the tie breaker system below, the result of their head-to-head competition breaks the tie. Tie Breaker System - Two TeamsIf the teams each beat one another, the goal differential in their games is used to break the tie. If the goal differential in their contests against one another is the same, the total of goals scored against each other is used. If the total of goals scored between the teams is equal, the differential for all common opponents seeded higher is used. If no common opponents are seeded higher, the goal differential against the highest seeded common opponent is used.

Tie Breaker System - Th ree or More Teams (for seeding championships)If more than two teams are tied in won/loss records, goal differentials among the teams tied serves as the tiebreaker. If two teams are tied in goal differentials, head-to-head com-petition breaks the tie. If the goal differential in their con-tests against one another for all teams is the same, the total of goals scored against each other is used. If the total of goals scored between the teams is equal, the goal differential between common opponents seeded higher will be used to determine ranking. This may require averaging the goal dif-ferential per game if the number of games between common opponents is unequal. Should teams be tied in won/loss re-cord and they have not played each other, goal differentials against common opponents that are seeded above them are used. If no common opponents are seeded higher, the differ-ential against the highest seeded common opponent is used.

(for advancement w/in championships)If more than two teams are tied in won/loss records, goal differentials among the teams tied serves as the tiebreaker. If the goal differential in their contests against one another is the same, the total of goals scored against each other is used. If the total of goals scored between the teams is equal, their original seeding will serve as the tiebreaker. If the totals are tied at any time between two of the three teams, the tie is broken by their head-to-head result..

Goal Diff erentialGoal differential is a term used to describe the difference be-tween goals scored against an opponent and the number of goals scored by an opponent against a particular team.

VARSITY TEAM PROFILES

NORTHERN DIVISION

Brown UniversityOn the coattails of a third-straight 20-win season, the Bears of Brown University aim to improve upon last year’s 23-13 record and fi fth-place fi nish at the Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) Championship. Despite a grueling conference schedule wedged be-tween the season opener and November’s championship, Mercado and the Bears have visions of hoisting the CWPA Championship plaque for the fi rst time since Brown last captured the title in backto-back-to-back seasons from 1983-to-1985.

Connecticut CollegeEntering the program’s 14th season as a varsity sport, the Camels of Connecticut College begin 2014 with continuing high expectations of becoming the fi rst school in league history to capture the Col-legiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) Division III titles in both men’s and women’s competition. Led by new head coach Matt An-derson, who guided the University of Michigan women’s team to four CWPA Championships and National Collegiate Athletic Asso-ciation (NCAA) tournament berths, Connecticut will have a tough road ahead thanks to perennial powers Johns Hopkins University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for the program’s inaugural men’s Division III crown. In addition, the team will at-tempt to make a run at fi nishing among the Top Three teams at the Northern Division Championship to clinch a berth to the CWPA Championship for the fi rst time in program history.

Fordham UniversityThe Fordham water polo team returns the majority of their squad for the 2014 season, led by Second Team All-Northern Division performer Ori Raz and Noah LeBeau. Raz was one of two 50 goal scorers for the Rams last season, while LeBeau racked up a career-high 291 saves in goal. In addition to Raz and LeBeau, the Rams also return junior Patrick Lenhian (45 goals, 36 steals), junior Andrew Gonzalez (30 goals) and junior Davis DeFontes (29 goals, 47 steals) as a part of a fairly deep team this season.

Harvard UniversityAmong a batch of rising programs on the national stage, Harvard University is coming off a breakout season in 2013. The Crimson concluded the season with an 18-14 overall record for the most wins under head coach Ted Minnis, who earned 2013 Northern Division Coach of the Year Coach honors, and the program’s most victories since 2002. The Crimson also fi nished with an impressive 11-1 con-ference record, securing a second place fi nish in the Northern Di-vision Championship for the second time in team history. Harvard enters the 2014 season with high expectations, nationally ranked for the fi rst time in recent memory. The Crimson returns 11 players and 292 goals from last year’s team. 2013 All-Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) Northern Division selections Noah Harrison, Ben Zepfel and Joey Colton will lead the charge in 2014. Zepfel, an Association of Collegiate Water Polo Coaches (ACWPC) All-Amer-ica selection in 2013, scored 52 goals, while Harrison tallied 70 and Colton added 46 as a freshman. Junior goalie Colin Woolway also returns after coming up with 211 saves in 2013.

VARSITY TEAM PROFILESVARSITY TEAM PROFILES

Iona CollegeThe Iona College men’s water polo team, under the direction of 20th year head coach Brian Kelly, can sum up the key to success in one word: consistency. With a roster of experienced returnees and talented newcomers, the Gaels hope these elements will keep them in contention for an automatic Collegiate Water Polo Associa-tion (CWPA) Championship berth all season. “We are looking to be consistent this season, something we lacked a year ago,” said Kelly. “Last year’s Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) Champion-ship was a summary of our season as a whole. We played our best games against our toughest competition, and played fl at in very win-nable contests.” The offense will be led by senior Jake Lloyd, who scored 89 goals a season ago and tallied 102 points to earn CWPA All-Northern Division Second Team honors. Lloyd will be helped along the perimeter by the big arms of senior Kyle Elmore, junior Zach Presto and senior James Ramaley. Elmore found the net 29 times a season ago while Ramaley and Presto each scored 33 goals in 2013. Presto is a player with above-average tools who Kelly hopes will break out in his third season with Iona. Inside, the two-meter offense will be led by senior Ian Thompson. Thompson, one the Northeast’s premiere centers, scored 45 goals a year ago and drew a team best 56 kickouts In net, the Gaels will look to replace four-year starter Stefen Hill, with senior Mike Pufunt and junior Matt Mc-Crudden competing for the top spot. Pufunt made six appearances last season, recording 37 saves while McCrudden made 14 saves in four games played. Seniors Nicholas Joslyn and Eric Corley add to the squad’s overall depth. Junior Gerardo Sanchez Rivera and sophomore Elerick Curet are a pair of Puerto Rican national team players that played solid minutes in 2013 and will be looked upon to make major contributions in their second seasons with the Gaels. Sophomore Matthew Rothman is a lefty shooter who is danger-ous on transition opportunities, while sophomore Hudson Grieve is a solid contributor on both sides of the ball. Sophomore Patrick Dougherty will be counted on to contribute in the two-meter of-fense. Iona adds senior Rafael Romero to the fold for the 2014 slate. Romero sat out last season after transferring, but was a two-time First Team All-South Conference selection at Cerritos College. Kel-ly looks to the speedy freshmen trio of Patrick Judge, Marc Stauble and Zach Roper to contribute to the team’s rotation, while freshmen Jonathan Hulbert, Jay Pagano, Kade Ramirez and Randy Weiskittel round out the 2014 newcomers.

Massachusetts Institute of TechnologyThe Massachusetts Institute of Technology will look to build on its 13-17 campaign from a year ago.The Engineers, who were ranked eighth in the fi nal Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) poll in 2013, will commence this season seventh in the Division III Top 10 preseason poll and tied for 10th with Iona College in the league CWPA Top 10 poll. Juniors Kale Rogers and Ory Tasman, who combined for 108 markers in 2013, are expected to guide a squad that graduated four seniors, including the program’s leading goal scorer Craig Cheney, who capped his four years with 204 tallies. Sophomores Nolan Kruse and Ian Zaun return for their second seasons between the pipes. Kruse recorded a team-high 196 stops, while Zaun registered 18 steals and four assists. MIT welcomes three freshmen to their team, along with interim head coach David Andriole, who will be assisted by Cheney and Michael Farid.

Saint Francis College2013 was another banner year for the Collegiate Water Polo Asso-ciation (CWPA) Champion Terriers of St. Francis College Brook-lyn as the team defeated the University of California-San Diego in last year’s National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Play-In game by a 6-5 fi nal before falling to Stanford University, 17-2, to place fourth at the championship event. The two-time (2012, 2013) defending league champion, St. Francis will need to replace two vi-tal cogs to join the United States Naval Academy (2006-to-2008; 1986-to-1988), the University of Massachusetts (1993-to-1995), Brown University (1983-to-1985), Bucknell University (1977-to-1980) and Yale University (1972-to-1974) as the only programs in CWPA history to “three-peat”. The loss of 2013 Northern Division Player of the Year, Northern Division All-Conference First Team goalie, CWPA Championship Most Valuable Player and two-time All-NCAA Championship Tournament netminder Igor Mladenovic could pose problems for the Terriers’ in the early going of the 2014 season. Add in the fact that fellow 2013 NCAA All-Tournament selection Bosko Stankovic was also lost to graduation, and St. Fran-cis’ chances of repeating appear diminished. However, the presence of Ilija Djuretic, who was third on the team with 46 goals last year, should bolster the Terriers’ in the early going of the new season. “He is probably going to take the brunt of defending [opponent’s] stronger offensive players,” notes second-year head coach Srdjan Mihaljevic. “We won’t be successful if we don’t have some prolifi c scorers and Ilya is defi nitely one of them.” The Terriers, who qual-ifi ed for back-to-back NCAA Final Fours for the fi rst time in the program’s history, have experienced a great deal of change since the close of the 2013 season. “We don’t have Igor and there’s no point in living in the past. We have three goalies on the roster, two of them are coming back, one from a red-shirt, and the back-up goalie from last year, Aleksandar Gavric.” Despite a defense that will no longer have the safety blanket of an Mladenovic, St. Francis will again be an offensive powerhouse, with the return of three of the team’s top four scorers, led by senior Vuk Vujosevic (51 goals, 24 assists). Lazar Komadinic (48 goals, 19 assists), last year’s second leading scorer, who this season will switch to the weak/left-side of the pool, acknowledged that the changes will have an impact, but the goal remains the same: qualifying for the NCAA tournament. Mihaljevic acknowledges that besides his star goalie, there were other signifi -cant losses to graduation. “It’s going to be hard to replace Stankov-ic, who was a signifi cant contributor to our offense. We brought in a new center in Bora Dimitrov and I expect him to slide into that slot.” Dimitrov, who played the last two years at Diablo Valley Junior College outside of San Francisco, grew up in Serbia with many of SFC’s players. Perhaps no player will be under more scrutiny this season than junior driver Liam Veazey. Not only is Veazey St. Fran-cis’ only left-handed player, crucial because he runs the offense from the right-side of the pool, but he will serve as a co-captain with senior David Lonnberg. Veazey is aware of the expectations and is ready to embrace his role. “This year, with 11 fi eld players, we have a much smaller roster than last year [so] everyone has an important role. There’s nobody on the team that won’t be a contributor if we’re going to win the league.

SOUTHERN DIVISION, EASTERN REGION

Bucknell UniversityBucknell University’s Class of 2014 combined to score 563 goals in its time as Bison, making it the fourth-highest scoring class in pro-gram history. Bucknell fourth-year head coach John McBride must replace that talented six-person class, but he is not concerned thanks

to plenty of experience returning to the lineup. The Bison offense always leans heavily on the center position and Bucknell must re-place standouts Jack Else and Mike Kimble. Sophomore Nate Hunt-er and freshman Jeff Hagen will be counted on to do that. Offense will be supplied by junior Stefan Aleksic, who has led the team in points the last two years, and classmate and co-captain Nick Hale, the team’s No. 2 leading returning scorer with 39 points (12 goals, 27 assists). Fellow co-captain Keegan Williams started all 25 games in goal a year ago and is expected to start the year in that same po-sition. Sophomore Patrick McKenzie and freshman Charlie Niehaus will challenge him for playing time. Sophomore Ratimir Babic, who started 15 times a year ago, joins Aleksic, Hale and Williams as re-turning starters. He was the leading goal scorer among freshmen last year with 15 and is expected to see that total increase. Juniors Jedd Thayer and Max Wilder will combine to provide some additional experience as they look for their roles to increase now that they are in the second half of their careers.

George Washington UniversityGeorge Washington University experienced a breakout year in 2013 in which it was ranked in the Top 20 nationally for two weeks, ap-pearing in the poll for the fi rst time since 2008. The Colonials fi n-ished with their fi rst winning campaign (16-15) in seven years and their most wins since 1998. Despite graduating four seniors who accounted for more than 40 percent of the team’s goals last season, GW returns a number of strong offensive players, including senior Brian Mojica, who enters 2014 ranked second all-time at George Washington with 147 career assists, and senior Ridvan Pehlivan, who has never scored less than 40 goals in a season and tallied a career-high 55 last year. In addition, two-time honorable mention All-America center defender Bogdan Petkovic returns for his junior campaign. The fi rst-ever Colonials’ player to claim All-America hon-ors twice, Petkovic owns the GW single-season records for both steals and fi eld blocks but is also a major contributor on offense, as he ranked second on the team with 88 points (53 goals, 35 as-sists) last season. Under the direction of 16th-year head coach Scott Reed, the Colonials will also look for freshmen Pierce Deamer, Duke Becker and Quentin Montgomery to make a big impact in their rookie campaigns.

Johns Hopkins UniversityJohns Hopkins University is coming off a 21-win season and the pro-gram’s 15th Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) Division III Championship. Head coach Ted Bresnahan, now in his 24th season, returns 12 players from last year’s squad that went 21-10. The Blue Jays are looking to improve on last year’s fi fth-place fi nishes at the Southern Division and CWPA Championships. Seniors Wes Hop-kins and Johnny Beal will captain the Blue Jays this season. Hopkins led the team a year ago in goals (62), assists (62), points (124) and

16

17

blocks (13). Last season marked Beal’s best to date as he totaled 48 goals, 50 assists, 29 steals and 18 ejections drawn to earn Honorable Mention All-America honors. Three players to watch throughout the year will be the Blue Jays trio All-America selections in Beal, ju-nior Erik Henrikson and sophomore Matt Fraser. Henrikson earned First Team All-America honors after making 214 saves in 93.5 quar-ters and posting a .434 save percentage. He also led the team in steals with 69 and had double-digit saves in 11 matches. Fraser became the fi rst freshman in program history to earn First Team All-America honors after scoring tallying 57 goals, 27 assists, 84 points, 49 steals and a team-high 85 ejections drawn. He set the program record for points by a freshman, while his 27 assists are tied for the second most by a fi rst-year. Outside the water, another past All-America Blue Jay returns to the nest as Ross Schofi eld, a three-time All-America pick and the program’s all-time points leader with 427, returns to his alma mater this year as an assistant coach. A 2013 graduate, he helped Hopkins to 76 wins, including a school-record 25 in 2012, and three CWPA Division III Championships. A two-time CWPA All-South selection, he was named the 2012 CWPA Division III Champion-ship Most Valuable Player, an honor which Bresnahan hopes to see bestowed on another Johns Hopkins’ player in 2014. However, the Blue Jays will need to overcome some losses as Thomas de Lyon, Stephen Kingery and Conor Flemming left via graduation. De Lyon earned Honorable Mention All-America and Capital One Academic All-America honors last year for the Blue Jays. He saved his best for last as he scored as many goals (60) and tallied as many points (84) in his senior season as he did in the previous three seasons combined. De Lyon also added 16 steals and drew 65 ejections, good for sec-ond on the team. Kingery ranked second on the team in steals a year ago with 52 and fi nished his career ranked fi fth in program history with 163. The loss of Kingery, De Lyon and Flemming could be offset by the addition of freshmen Jono Gillette, Adrian Suarez and Conor Hehir. The trio will see immediate playing time as Hopkins tries to develop new team chemistry on a team that counts 12 fresh-men and sophomores and just seven upperclassmen on the roster.

Princeton UniversityPrinceton University returns almost all of its scoring from last sea-son, led by Drew Hoffenberg. The senior co-captain paced the Ti-gers with 66 goals and 32 helpers en route to All-America accolades. Joining Hoffenberg on the All-America team was Thomas Nelson, who hopes to build on a stellar junior campaign, which saw him rack up 53 goals and 19 assists. The Southern Division Rookie of the Year, Jovan Jeremic amassed 61 goals during his fi rst campaign in Orange and Black, while veterans Kayj Shannon and Jamie Ku-prenas combined for 68 scores. Princeton welcomes freshmen Eric Bowen, Jordan Colina, Ryan Hammarskjold, Connor McGoldrick and Vojislav Mitrovic to the men’s water polo family this season.

United States Naval AcademyA year after collecting the 14th Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) Southern Division Championship in program history, the United States Naval Academy water polo team returns an experi-enced squad that will look to challenge once again for the Southern crown, as well as a bid to the National Collegiate Athletic Asso-ciation (NCAA) Tournament via the CWPA Championship. The 2013 Mids endured an up-and-down season that saw head coach Mike Schofi eld, a staple on the sidelines at Navy since 1983, retire and hand over the reigns to Mladen Stanicic. With the team mired in an early season slump and an 8-9 record, Stanicic and the Mids quickly righted the ship and closed out the season with wins in 10 of the team’s last 11 games for an overall record of 19-15. Led by a pair of honorable mention All-America selections in juniors Carl

Dowzicky and Carpenter Warren, Navy will fi eld a squad with 11 returning letterwinners and familiar faces in fi ve of the team’s six starting positions this season. Navy brings back its top fi ve scor-ers, as well as eight of its top 10. The high-powered All-America duo of Dowzicky and Warren highlight the Mids’ returning strength in the attacking position. Dowzicky fi nished his sophomore sea-son with 74 points, while Warren netted 66. Two players that will be focal points in the playmaking portion of Navy’s attack will be seniors Thomas Patterson and Jack Finch. The California duo re-corded a combined 109 points last season for the Mids. A talent-ed and experienced group of centers also returns in 2014. Junior Robert Sutherland leads the unit as he is coming off of a South-ern Division First Team nod last year. Fellow junior Will Wegge-land joins him at the center position. In 2013, the pair netted point totals of 67 and 57, respectively. Finally, Southern Division First Team honoree Garrett Sabesky leads a deep goalkeeping corps once again in 2014. After contributing in 2012 as a fi eld player, the junior’s level of play took off in 2013 with a move to the crease. In his fi rst season as a goalie, he turned aside the third-most shots in a single season by a Midshipmen goalie with 272 saves.

SOUTHERN DIVISION, WESTERN REGION

Gannon UniversityWith the loss of familiar faces and the arrival of new ones, the Gan-non University Golden Knights will look to improve on last season’s 11-9 overall record and 4-2 mark in Collegiate Water Polo Associ-ation (CWPA) action. After fi nishing third at the CWPA Division II Championship, the Golden Knights will look to improve their overall fi nish at this year’s event. At the CWPA Southern Division Championship the Golden Knights revenged a loss to Notre Dame College (Ohio) from the CWPA Division II Championship before falling to then No. 13 Princeton University. The loss of Daisuke Takagi and Tommy Nimrod, who were signifi cant contributors in both ends of the pool, will cause some reshuffl ing in 2014. Ranking fourth on the team in goals, Takagi netted 36 goals last season to fi nish his career with 146 goals. Nimrod recorded 38 tallies to rank third on the squad. Defensively, Takagi ranked third (68) in steals and Nimrod occupied second (70) in the category. Three new arriv-als will look to fi ll the void left by the loss of Takagi and Nimrod as the team welcomes Gilberto Millan, Marko Sadikovic and Nick Williams. Gannon will also rely on senior Raz Yuval. A three-time CWPA Southern Division Rookie of the Week, Yuval led the Gold-en Knights in goals (71), assists (36) and steals (82), while earning his inaugural All-Tournament selection in his fi rst year of play in the league. At the CWPA Division II Championship, the junior tallied a combined fi ve goals, nine steals and fi ve assists against the host Fal-cons and Salem International University. In a 21-12 win over Salem International, Kibbutz Yagur, Israel native broke the all-time school record for most goals in a game with 11 - a mark that stood since 2002. Joining Yuval will be seniors Cody Sherman and Nathan Bean along with junior Adam Wolf. The game experience and success of these individuals will help in the development of the new arrival to the Golden Knights’ lineup. Last season, Sherman recorded 17 goals, 38 steals and 26 assists. Bean occupied fi fth on the team’s list of leading goal scorers with 33. Wolf also emerged as a threat in 2013 as he ranked second to Yuval in goals (42), while also appearing among the Top-Five in assists (11) and steals (33). In goal, the Gold-en Knights will rely on the tandem of sophomores Danny Schneider and Nick Fagen. Schneider recorded 154 blocks, 10 steals and fi ve assists last year, while Fagen compiled 40 blocks, seven steals and fi ve assists in limited action.

Mercyhurst UniversityMercyhurst University had two of the best seasons in program his-tory in 2012 and 2013. With a cast of new faces leading the way, the Lakers have a number of unanswered questions heading into the 2014 season. Perhaps the biggest unanswered question is in goal. Mercyhurst will have three choices, all freshmen, entering the season as two-time All-Pennsylvania selection Gene Bilbao, 2013 Maryland Interscholastic Athletic Association (MIAA) and Eastern Prep Most Valuable Player Kevin Doyle and Andrew Too-A-Foo, who boasts four years of national team experience for Trinidad and Tobago and appeared in the Junior Pan-Am Games in 2012, will compete for time in cage. Junior Dave Matulis is the leading returning scorer this season as he posted 20 goals and 23 points in 2013. Shaquille Mitch-ell, who played for the Trinidad and Tobago National Team and appeared in the Junior Pan-Am Games in 2011 and 2012, will look to make an impact after redshirting last season. The Lakers will have several players in new roles this season. Jack Howe dished out 15 assists on his way to 21 points, while Alex Strong added eight goals and 12 assists. Senior Samuel Lopez has contributed 18 goals and 20 assists in three years coming off the bench. Joe Yamamoto will have an immediate impact as a junior transfer as he earned a Second Team All-SoCal nod at Ventura College. Mercyhurst’s attack will also feature a number of returners seeing more signifi cant time in 2014. Gavin Oakley and Joey Ryan will support the defense, while Jordan Hodur, Michael Lawson and Christian Dudley bolster the offense.

Monmouth College With the inaugural varsity season now a distant memory, Monmouth College men’s water polo coach Josh Dunn is ready for his squad to jump back into the pool with the experience of a veteran team. “We’re better prepared for this season, both in terms of the level of competition and the logistics of getting from Point A to Point B,” admits Dunn. He will have to replace two-thirds of his scoring from a year ago. Through graduation and attrition, senior Gabe Baginski and juniors Neal Hosper and John Fitzgerald return as the Scots’ top three returning scorers. Losing so much scoring power might have some coaches in a panic mode, but Dunn learned valuable lessons in his rookie season. “We’re installing a new offense and a new defense due to the large infl ux of new talent we have. It will take both sides of the ball working well to win games.” The Scots might have the perfect balance of quality and quantity as seven newcomers help comprise the 18-man squad. “We’ve have some talented freshmen coming in,” claimed Dunn. “It will be interesting to see which of the veterans step up and which freshmen can crack the starting lineup.” Sophomores Kyle Bradberry and Matt Engebretson are two of the returners being counted on to up their offensive production. While the offense will need to replace missing points, Dunn is counting on the defense to be much improved. The second-year coach points to slow starts in nearly every game as the reason for the team’s defi cits in 2013. “We’ve got to play better defense right from the start. Last year it seemed like we always got behind early and spent the rest of the match playing catchup.” The Scots will have options in goal, where three returners and one junior transfer will slug it out for play-ing time. Senior Marshall Palfenier, junior Alex Hernandez-Sotelo and sophomore Tony Zdanavicius each logged minutes between the pipes. Newcomer Jihad Ramadan - a transfer from the University of Illinois-Chicago – is touted as an able keeper who will be in the mix. Defender/attacker Riley Hess, Julius Bradsfi eld and defender Ryan Sterling are freshmen expected to make some waves.

Pennsylvania State University-Erie, Th e Behrend CollegeThe Lions of Penn State-Behrend are looking to cause a few upsets as the season kicks off. Captains Matthew Johnson and Ty Elder will

lead a 12-man roster, including fi ve newcomers, with head coach Joe Tristan as the Lions are poised to make some noise in the Southern Division’s Western Region.

Salem International UniversityThe Salem International University water polo team will look to con-tinue building on a four win campaign from 2013. The four victories marked the most since the 2005 season. Leading the SIU charge will be third year team captain and senior, Borislav Kovacev. The Becej, Serbia native is a three-time Division II All-Tournament performer with 109 career goals. Junior Kristopher Arnold returns to protect the Tigers’ goal with 454 saves and 111 steals. The Tigers return a total of seven players from last season’s roster and welcome fi ve rookies for the new campaign led by Belgrade, Serbia native Dorde Stavrevski. SIU also welcomes brothers David and Michael Roake from Chicago, along with Chad Doerrman from Pennsylvania and Roland Maldonado from California.

Washington & Jeff erson CollegeWashington & Jefferson College head coach Jay O’Neil enters the 2014 season excited about one of the largest roster sizes in school history as 24 Presidents will suit up for the Red & Black. Following a 14-win season a year ago (14-17), which marked the second-highest win total in school history, and with returning All-America picks Mike Magdic and Nick Willison, the Presidents are shooting for six more victories to break the school record of 19 held by the 2002 squad (19-7). Last year, Magdic set the Presidents’ school record with 77 goals to shatter W&J Athletic Hall of Famer Nemanja Kuz-manovic’s mark set in 2002 and fi nished second on the squad with 61 steals. Heading into his fi nal collegiate season, he has 175 goals and 63 assists for 238 career points. Willison set the W&J freshman record for single-season goals scored with 72 and added 54 steals and 20 assists. O’Neil also has the luxury of returning the next four leading scorers from his 2013 team. With 61 goals and 41 assists, Carl Krause was second on the squad in overall scoring with 102 points (fi ve behind Magdic’s 107 points). Kevin Dunigan provided 52 goals and 30 assists, while Patrick Fredrick compiled 37 goals and 37 assists. Ben McGrath fi red in 23 tallies last year and pro-vides O’Neil with another talented offensive weapon. With much of the offensive fi repower returning, O’Neil expects to lean heavily on goalie Chris DeNunzio on the other end of the pool. DeNunzio led the team in minutes played last fall and compiled 182 saves. He enters his fi nal collegiate season with 355 saves. Anthony Squeglia played in eight matches last year as a reserve and supplied 26 saves.

Duke UniversityDuke University enters the season with a very positive outlook and a new coach. The Blue Devils fi nished with a Fifth Place mark in the Atlantic Division last season, but the team will rely heavily on leader-ship from senior captains Joseph Wu and Jason Pedowitz, along with junior captain Kevin Zipf, this year to climb to the pinnacle of the division for the fi rst time since 2008. The Blue Devils will look to a strong offensive front from sophomores Cameron Walker, Mark Schreiber and Mike Duch, as well as freshmen John Zipf, Coby Wayne and JD Strickland. Duke will receive a huge defensive boost from the Kai Yu (Kyle) Lee who will serve as the starting goalie.

Georgetown UniversityAfter a disappointing season with a Ninth Place fi nish at the Atlan-tic Division Championship tournament, the Hoyas of Georgetown University hope to build on a roster that is comprised primarily of returning members. With a unique combination of size and speed, the Hoyas hope to be the team to beat in this upcoming season. An-chored by sets Alex Nealon, Jake Bercow and Michael McClelland, as well as outside speed and fi esty play from Alister Riviere, Trevor Mclean and Tony Baxter, the Hoyas do not lack in heart. George-town also will utilize the brother connection between Ben and Sam Prout to put up big numbers on the scoreboard. Still looking for a goalie, last year’s netminder Justin Giorgio hopes to get back out into the fi eld and bring some fi re to his team’s game. Georgetown will strive to build on its strengths with hopes of claiming the school’s fi rst division crown and National Collegiate Club Championship tournament appearance since 2005.

James Madison UniversityJames Madison University enters the season with several new players and a strong senior core hoping to make a championship run. The team looks to place highly and make some substantial improvements after wrapping up 2013 in Sixth Place at the division tournament. Led by a group of seniors, including Ryan Williams, Joey Hewitt, Chris Crampton, Robbie Harris, and others, the team will attempt to overcome the loss of several graduated seniors. However, with the addition of coaching help from a JMU professor with international water polo experience, the squad looks to improve quickly before the season culminates at the division championship.

Johns Hopkins UniversityJohns Hopkins University comes into the season as newcomers to the Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) on the collegiate club level. As a young squad, most of the players, including standout goalie Mario Zampaglione and star scorer Jonathan Ascencio who lead the team with 24 goals a year ago, return to make the Blue Jays’ debut in the CWPA a strong one. Hopkins will rely on starters Gi-lad Nilo and Aravind Krishnan to hold down the defense, while re-turning players Akhil Vasvani and Alex Weisman will see signifi cant playing time on offense. Johns Hopkins will rely on the hard work of every member of its team to remain competitive in the Atlantic Division with hopes of claiming a berth to the National Collegiate Club Championship in the program’s fi rst season of league play.

ATLANTIC DIVISION

North Carolina State UniversityThe Wolfpack of North Carolina State University enters the 2013 season looking to improve on last year’s Eighth Place mark with only two wins. NC State lost three key players, including goalie Greg Berger and its lone left-handed player, Jensen Sales. The remainder of last year’s starters come back for another try at claiming the At-lantic Division title with seniors Alex Horner, Adam Fullerton and Ryan Morgan, the team’s top scorer. Graduate student Nick Bravo will fi ll the goalie void and a new batch of freshmen talent will im-prove the team’s chances in future seasons. Coach Rob Bulduc will be joined on the sidelines by assistant coach Chris McKay, bringing a new perspective to the team.

United States Naval AcademyAfter graduating only one starter, the Midshipmen of the United States Naval Academy enter their third season as members of the Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) looking to make an im-pressive showing in 2014. Finishing second in the Atlantic Division two seasons in a row has left the Midshipmen hungry for a divi-sion title. Returners David Hasegan and Will Bloom are expected to lead the offensive battle, while sophomore Brian Cully and new-comer Mitch Gunter will apply pressure from the defensive end of the tank. Senior and team captain Sam Fitzmaurice knows that the squad’s combined experience and chemistry will bring the team sig-nifi cant success this season.

University of MarylandThe reigning Atlantic Division Champion, the University of Maryland begins the season with hopes of defending the program’s inaugural

division title. Maryland’s trip to the National Collegiate Club Cham-pionship was heavily fueled by the team’s seniors, including All-Con-ference goalie Harrison Fisher and drivers Pat Hagar and Nate Hukill. The seventh program in the 15-year history of the Atlantic Division to capture the championship, the Terrapins are counting on their four returning starters to replace these valuable players in order to join the University of North Carolina (2010-to-2012), Virginia Tech (2006-to-2007) and Georgetown University (2001-to-2002) as the only program’s in Atlantic Division history to repeat as champions and return to the National Collegiate Club Champion-ship in consecutive seasons.

University of North CarolinaThe Tarheels of the University of North Carolina are no strangers to the upper-echelon of the division as the team holds four crowns (2004, 2010, 2011, 2012) in six title game appearances (2002, 2003, 2004, 2010, 2011, 2012). UNC returns six of seven starters from a Third Place 2013 campaign, including captain Daniel Wilco and leading scorer Kyle Manger. Last year, the Tar Heels failed to make the Atlantic Division title game for the fi rst time since 2009 as the team downed Georgetown University (2010), the University of Maryland (2011) and the United States Naval Academy (2012) to three-peat as champions. UNC will attempt to fi ght its way back to the title game for another shot at a berth to the National Col-legiate Club Championship with an experienced team led by veter-ans Stefanos Kechagias, Dylan Blackwell, Drew Findley and Alex Walden. North Carolina also added a promising crop of freshmen who should bolster the Tar Heels’ explosive offense.

University of VirginiaVirginia enters the season with an optimistic and experienced group of returning players following a Seventh Place fi nish at last year’s At-lantic Division Championship. Led by co-captains Wesley Yang and Chris Kegelman, the Cavaliers return a solid core of players. Due to an injury to All-Conference Second Team selection Eric McDonald, the team will need to fi ll the void with a new player. On offense, juniors Conor McLaughlin and Sean Cassady provide an inside-out tandem. Senior Mike Lau strengthens the offensive attack with his speed and driving presence. On the fl ip side of the ball, goalie Dan O’Connor continues to stifl e opposing players’ shots with his lock down defensive ability. Virginia hopes to improve upon their recent fi nishes in their division with a balanced attack from both sides of the ball with plans of claiming the institution’s fi rst division cham-pionship since 2003.

Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State UniversityThe lone team in division history to advance to the Atlantic Divi-sion title game four consecutive seasons (2006-to-2009), the Virginia Tech men’s water polo team is training hard for an eventful season. Following the loss of several key players, including Matt Sylvester, Conor Reiling and Alex McDonald, the Hokies hopes to focus on improving upon what was missing from last season’s regular season runner-up and Fourth Place squad. Tech will work to develop and tune the offensive talents of junior Ryan Staton and seniors Tim Melhuish, Michael Feihe and Nate Peters. Defensively, Tech hopes to draw from the expertise of Reeder Robinson and Peter Biskadu-ros to instill discipline and all-around pool awareness. However, the club can not ensure strong competition without the depth added by Trevor Kent, Roman Sarapin and Matthew Woodmancy. As always, continued strong performances by goalie Taylor Blair will help the Hokies dominate the pool from all ends and get Virginia Tech back to the top of the division for the fi rst time since 2009.

BIG TEN DIVISION

Indiana UniversityIndiana University returns multiple key parts from a team that took home the program’s fi rst-ever Big Ten Division title and fi nished in Seventh Place at the 2013 National Collegiate Club Championship hosted by the University of California-San Diego last November. Starters Alex Dewhirst, Michael Hanfl and, Kyle Rickert and Kyle Kreunen all return for another crack at keeping the Big Ten Divi-sion Championship plaque in the Hoosier State as Indiana became the fi rst team outside the State of Michigan to claim the prize. A solid bench will be bolstered by another strong class of incoming freshmen as both groups will aim to make an immediate impact and keep the Hoosiers among the preeminent collegiate club programs.

Michigan State UniversitySuccess is the norm, not an exception for the Michigan State Uni-versity Spartans. Coming off a 2013 regular season title and second place fi nish at the Big Ten Division Championship, the Spartans have one goal - reclaiming the Big Ten Championship for the fi rst time since 2010. Returning starters Josh Jackson, Nate Case, Austin Daugherty, Lucas Wilson, Drew Stoffel and All-America goalie Tom Meyer lead the team, along with senior players Dan Kubeck and Greg Kohler. The Spartans have the luxury of a large and experi-enced bench and will fi eld one the largest teams in the history of the Big Ten Division. New head coach Matt Latham shares the Spar-tans’ ambitions for a championship season as the three-time Nation-al Collegiate Club Champion (2000, 2006, 2008) and fi ve-time club tournament fi nalists (2000, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008) have a storied history of success on both the division and National Championship levels. Tenured team leaders will combine with a strong collection of new players and fresh strategy to make the 11-time Big Ten champi-on MSU an aggressive contender for the Big Ten Division.

Northwestern UniversityNorthwestern University comes into the 2014 season in somewhat of a rebuilding mode. Having lost two of the squad’s three leading scorers and four starters from a 2013 team that placed sixth in the Big Ten Division, the Wildcats will be more reliant on their young-er players to keep pace and return to the program’s glory days of 1993 when the Northwestern claimed the National Collegiate Club Championship. Led by head coach Reid Strellner on the bench and the duo of Max Offsay and Matt Kendall in the water, the Wildcats are poised for a breakout season. Goalie Richie Beaumont will pro-vide strong play in the cage, while attackers Nicholas Roy and Brady Edwards serve a larger role in the offense this season.

Purdue UniversityOne of the rising teams in the ultra-competitive Big Ten Division, the Purdue University men’s water polo team is looking forward to a strong season. After losing a bevy of talented seniors, the Boil-ermakers will rebuild with a fast and talented freshman class that complements a few key upperclassman. The team hopes to improve upon its Fifth Place fi nish at the Big Ten Division Championship the last two years and break into the upper echelon of club compe-tition with hard work and determination. Leading the charge for the Boilermakers will be sophomore Lucas Allen, goalie Brent Schroder, and seniors Jacob Eisses and Bryan Marquet.

University of IllinoisThe Fighting Illini of the University of Illinois are eyeing another strong season after placing Third (2011, 2012) and Fourth (2013)

21

the past three seasons.. Illinois plans to squash the competition in 2014 with captains Scott Dabrowski and Jaime Juarez leading the way. Besides their fearless captains, the Illini will draw upon the wisdom of returning players Nader Ammar, Joe Burke and Aaron Palmer to gain an edge on the competition. Illinois is also looking to take advantage of the incoming class of freshmen to add depth to the squad.

University of IowaThe men of the University of Iowa Hawkeyes club once again soar into competition this year with new players, returning talents and an unparalleled drive to make waves in the 2014 Big Ten Division season. After a successful off-season, the Hawks retain all but one returning starter from last year and have added a skilled group of freshmen to their ranks. A deep bench of experienced players hail-ing from respected Iowa swim institutions and dynastic Chicagoland water polo programs bring elements of strength and speed to the club like never before. Newly forged captains Kyle Plotsky, Evan Woodward and Kyle Heneghan are backed by former club presi-dents Chris Workman and Genghis Hallsby; who return to the pool for their fi nal season. Dedicated senior leadership will be provid-ed by current team president Chris Hoover as Iowa could threaten the longtime standard bearers in the division. Heads will be turned, matches will be won and banners of Black & Gold will be raised if all goes according to the Hawkeyes’ plan.

University of MichiganThe 2011 and 2012 Big Ten Division champion Wolverines of the University of Michigan hope to top their Third Place fi nish at the 2013 division tournament by relying on a strong core of leaders. Led by new head coach Ben Hubbard, the two-time National Champi-ons (1998, 2003) will depend on the experience and guile of seniors Michael Venit, captain Ringo Hernley, Steven Brown, Dave Hodg-son and Garrett Wood to return Michigan to the Big Ten Division title game following a one-year drought. Proven leaders Seiji Osawa and Nick Naruns, All-Conference players in 2012 and 2013, and the addition of Ann Arbor natives Dan Wu and Davis Argersinger strengthen the Maize & Blue’s status as contenders for both the Big Ten Division and National Collegiate Club Championships in 2014.

University of WisconsinThe University of Wisconsin-Madison Badgers are looking to build off what insiders called a positive season despite a Seventh Place fi nish at the 2013 Big Ten Division Championship. In the aftermath of losing four pivotal players to “retirement”, the Badgers return a healthy amount of starters and key contributors. Team captains Connor Murphy, Edgar Lopez and Evan Horn anchor the squad with a mix of experience and exuberance. Stalwarts Dan Wolak and Brandon Chic maintain their positions as defensive and perime-ter-shooting specialists, while sophomores Johnny P. Louk, Derek Guillen and Zach Deal bring youthfulness, vigor and desire to a program on the cusp of greatness. Senior Lucas Bunzel is a threat from anywhere on the outside and the return of Dan Faust, James Ruggiero and Spencer Baldwin to the mix promises to augment an already potent offensive attack while bolstering the defense with much needed size in the water. This collective experience will guide the scrappy Badgers through the rough terrain of Big Ten Divi-sion water polo against the likes of former National Collegiate Club Champions Michigan State University and the University of Mich-igan. Other players to watch include Brian Andryk, Garrett Down, Pat Franken and Blake Tandowsky. Wisconsin welcomes new goalie Gerald Porter, Jr. with high hopes and expectations for the netmind-er.

FLORIDA DIVISION

Florida Atlantic UniversityFlorida Atlantic University will build on the success from the team’s fi rst year in the Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) after notching a 6-6 mark and Sixth Place fi nish in the Florida Division. The Owls lost three players from the 2013 squad, so the majority of FAU’s core remains intact as the program builds for the future. Set Tyler Costolo and wings Zev Halikman, Luke McKinnes and Hunter Smith lead the offense. Incoming goalie Richard Cook will boost the defense, although the center defender position is still a question mark as the season begins. The position will likely be han-dled through a committee of players with leading contenders Rob-ert Schramm and Stefan Iricanin likely seeing the majority of the action. Returning defensive wings include Reno Erickson and Brain Brownstein as Florida Atlantic will rely on both the old and the new to contend for the Florida Division title.

Florida Gulf Coast UniversityEntering its fourth season in the Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) and an Eighth Place fi nish last season, the Florida Gulf Coast University Eagles are gearing up for another quest to snag the team’s fi rst Florida Division Championship.

Florida International UniversityAfter suffering an upset defeat against the University of Miami in the fi rst round of the 2013 Florida Division Championship tourna-ment, two-time Florida Division (2007, 2009) and three-time South-east Division (2004, 2005, 2006) champion Florida International comes into the season retooled and ready to make another run at the National Collegiate Club Championship. Led by returning seniors Eddy “Chuck” Weller and Mario Carcamo, along with junior, An-dres “Andy” Rodriguez, the Panthers have made improvements at every position. The loss of Alex Lipin, one of FIU’s all-time leaders in scoring and assists, has been mitigated by the return of Hertzen Cortes, who made a major impact in his freshman year helping lift the Panthers in many of their close games. All of FIU’s starters and several crucial role players have returned, including Pedro Chaviano, Chris Chow, Robert “Bobby” Adams, Armando Amador, Michael Valdera and the man between the posts, Christophe Harratche, now entering his third year. The departure of head coach Chase Vaughan, who assumed the clipboard after his mother Carrol’s re-tirement, has been mitigated by coaching responsibilities being split amongst many of the veteran players and longtime assistant/former University of Miami powerhouse Blake Johnson. In addition, the Panthers add depth at every position with the strongest freshman recruitment group they have achieved since 2011.

Florida State University “A”The 2003 and 2011 Florida Division Championship runner-up, Florida State University aims to erase the memories of its two prior division title game shots and make the program’s fi rst appearance at the National Collegiate Club Championship tournament in 2014. The runner-up during the regular season last year, the Seminoles dropped a 12-9 game to eventual division champion the University of Miami at the 2013 Florida Division Championship on the way to a Third Place mark at the tournament. FSU will have multiple weapons to spear its fi rst championship plaque thanks to returning seniors including 2013 Florida Division Most Valuable Player Dan-iel Craig, Coach of the Year and All-Florida Division First-Team player Colin Osterndorf, Second-Team goalie Anthony Milone and offensive threat Kyle Allers. Although the team lost potential All-

22

Conference pick Daniel Muntildeoz to shoulder surgery, he will have a chance to aid the Seminoles’ cause by taking over the reins as FSU’s head coach in 2014.

Florida State University “B”A new member of the Florida Division, the Florida State University “B” team takes to the water for the fi rst time to increase playing time for all student-athletes and provide additional competition within the Florida Division.

University of Central FloridaThe Knights of the University of Central Florida return this season following a second consecutive fourth place fi nish in the Florida Division. The 2002 Florida Division runner-up, the team will look to move up the fi nal rankings and make a statement late in the season to contend for the division’s berth to the National Collegiate Club Championship.

University of Florida “A”The 2008 and 2011 Florida Division Champion and host of the 2009 National Collegiate Club Championship, the Gators of the University of Florida have come up short at the past two division championships. However, the losses have fueled and motivated Florida to reclaim the position as the top program in its namesake division. Watch for several returning players to factor in the Gators’ hunt for another berth to the National Collegiate Club Champion-ship. Sharp-shooting junior Blake Wagner and senior Will Johnson will be critical if Florida hopes to advance to the National Cham-pionship tournament. Defense will once again by a strength of the team, while junior Joey Devine will provide speed and craftiness on the outside. Freshmen Max Lettau and Thomas MacDonald will aid in the Gators’ efforts to claim the program’s fi fth Florida Division Championship (2002, 2003, 2008, 2011) and seventh overall crown (Southeast Division: 2000, 2001).

University of Florida “B”The University of Florida “B” Gators look forward to a fun and productive year. The team will strive to make it an All-Gators divi-sion title game for the fi rst time in history with a more experienced line-up and a fair amount of new talent.

University of Miami (Fla.)Following an improbable season in which the University of Miami went 3-5 in the regular season before running the table and knock-ing off regular season champion/host the University of Florida “A” by a 9-8 fi nal score in overtime to claim the program’s second con-secutive Florida Division Championship, the Hurricanes hope to start the season strong and continue on to defend their back-to-back division titles. A three-time Florida Division champion (2010, 2012, 2013), Miami will need to make some adjustments in 2014 as the loss of two strong shooters to graduation will force the distribution of multiple players to new positions. Although the team may lack expe-rience in the beginning, the Hurricanes will make up for the defi cit with dedication to the team and a commitment to becoming the fi rst program to win three consecutive Florida Division titles.

GREAT LAKES DIVISION

Grand Valley State UniversityThe most successful team in the 12-year history of the Great Lakes Division with eight championships (2002, 2003, 2004, 2005,

2006, 2007, 2008, 2010) in ten consecutive title game appearanc-es from 2002-to-2011, the past two Grand Valley State Universi-ty teams fi nished in the third spot of the division. Although most teams would be happy with back-to-back Third Place marks in the ultra-competitive Great Lakes Division, the Lakers will not rest until they complete a quest for their fi rst National Collegiate Club Cham-pionship plaque since 2005.

Loyola University ChicagoWinter is coming, bringing with it the promise of frigid winds and blinding snows along the icy shores of Lake Michigan. Luckily for the Loyola University Chicago water polo team, having a warm place to practice is no longer a concern. Back from their austere season in which they overcame a lack of a pool by running nightly dry lands and braving the choppy waters of the lake, the squad comes into 2014 looking to make waves of their own. With a talented cadre of new recruits from across the country, a strong core of returning players and a state of the art aquatics facility, the Ramblers are stron-ger and better equipped than ever before.

Miami University (Ohio)Miami University (Ohio) will be a strong contender in the Great Lakes Division. Coming off of a 2013 season in which the team placed fi fth in the division, the Redhawks look to improve their re-cord and win the title. New management for the team will be geared toward production of the potential that has always been there for the team. Turner Simmons returns in the net to provide a solid de-fensive force. Backup goalie Colin McGrath will also look to be a standout performer in the cage, as well as in the fi eld, for Miami in 2014. Other returning starters include Alex Savage, Symeon Stefan, Trevor Johnson and Kevin Doerr. The team added notable incom-ing players in Jacob Westerkamp, Isaac Shapiro and Will Menden-hall, among others, who will provide depth. The returning strength of last season’s team combined with the incoming talents should keep Miami in the thick of things throughout the year.

Th e Ohio State UniversityThe Ohio State University comes into this season fresh off of their fi rst Great Lakes Division championship. After graduating only two seniors, the Buckeyes appear poised to defend their title and make another run at the National Collegiate Club Championship. Six of seven starters from last season return, including Second-Team All-America selections Michael Smith and Orion Swanson. They are joined by All-Conference selections, set Ben McClurg and defender Jon Gruseck, as well as lefty Brian Muff and defender Kavin Parekh and Zach McClurg. This experienced core will be supplemented by a talented sophomore class, led by Drace Penley, Matt Gustafson,

23

Stephen Ioas, Drew Siekmann and Geoff Dickhaut. The Buckeyes are strengthened by many talented players, both incoming and re-turning, and will once again by led by two-time Great Lakes Division Coach of the Year James Dauphinee.

University of ChicagoThe University of Chicago looks to make some waves in the Great Lakes Division following Sixth Place marks in the regular and cham-pionship tournaments. After losing Gerrit Adams and Lee Kuhn over the summer, returning players and new recruits will be needed to fi ll the void. Key starters Derek Davis, Marcus Trybula and Grant Kushner will be relied on heavily by the Phoenix for their experi-ence. Thanks to the help of up-and-coming players Piers Brecher and Josh Herzberg, the team expects to move up in the standings and become a force to be reckoned with in the near future.

University of DaytonThe University of Dayton is excited to return for another season in the Great Lakes Division. After fi nishing in Seventh Place last year, the Flyers will take a competitive and fun approach to the sea-son. Dayton will rebuild after losing six seniors, but is excited to bring in an energetic group of new recruits and freshmen. Seniors John O’Malley, Matthew Lechleiter and Griffi n Korner are assum-ing leadership roles and will manage a solid group of enthusiastic players. With a mixed roster consisting of players with water polo experience, competitive swimming experience and a few with no experience whatsoever, the Flyers will need to come together quickly to contend for the division championship. Tom Critchfi eld, Kevin Fitzsimons and Joe Milton, three players with extensive high school experience, will help the freshmen master the games’ fundamentals.

University of Illinois-ChicagoFor the University of Illinois-Chicago, 2014 brings a new start, a brighter outlook and a drive to return to the program’s golden age. Last year, the Flames saw their two-year run on top of the Great

Lakes Division snuffed out via a 7-5 semifi nal loss to eventual cham-pion The Ohio State University. UIC, which fi nished fourth in the division following a 7-5 Third Place game loss to Grand Valley State University, will look to a core of players for this year’s campaign. Solid goaltending from Daniel Pantoja and multifaceted attack will help UIC back to the top of the conference as the 2009, 2011 and 2012 Great Lakes champion Flames will strive to torch their way through their division foes and qualify for the National Collegiate Club Championship.

University of Notre DameComing off back-to-back runner-up fi nishes in the Great Lakes Di-vision, the Irish of the University of Notre Dame look to build off a narrow 8-5 loss to The Ohio State University in the 2013 title game. Several of Notre Dame’s top players return on both offense and defense. Leading scorer Dolff Hanke is poised to continue to fi nd the back of the net. The team will also look for contributions in set from junior David Katter and sophomore Emerson Kirk. Built on speed and defense, the Fighting Irish will turn to seniors Chris Catalino and Teddy Howe to set an early pace on the fast break. Sophomore goalie Rob O’Brien is expected to play a huge role in the team’s success as he steps into the starting role. Notre Dame’s strong team defense, known as the “Elephant Graveyard” returns several key contributors, including senior Kevin Balhoff, junior Nate Urban and sophomore Justin Jellinek. The Irish will have a unique addition to their team in 2014 as Bobby Erzen, who led California Polytech-nic State University to National Championships as both a player and a coach, joins Notre Dame as a student-athlete after coaching the University of Pennsylvania women’s team the past few seasons. Led by head coach Brian Coughlin, the team looks to ride strong team play to its fi rst division championship and National Collegiate Club Championship berth.

Xavier UniversityTwo years ago it looked as if Xavier University water polo was a thing of the past. However, President Jacob Enriquez brought life back to the club with the help of Vice President Zachary Vogelpohl. In its fi rst year in the Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) since 2008, Xavier is a young team with a lot of promise. With speed coming from sophomores Mitchell Guist and Dillon Oswald and fi rst-year Jude Krauss, the Musketeers’ counter-attack will be a force to be reckoned with in the Great Lakes Division. Sophomores Jacob McGoogan and William Redmond possess power and knowledge, while juniors Nick Jannazo and Christopher Schrank are counted on for the team’s leadership with head coach Matthew Garbellini, Xavier’s only graduating senior from 2013. The rest of the team is comprised of the most athletic players Xavier has seen in years. The Musketeers are primed to make some noise in the Great Lakes Division and challenge for a berth to the National Collegiate Club Championship.

GREAT PLAINS DIVISION

Grinnell CollegeGrinnell College looks to continue its success as the only Division III school in the Great Plains Division. After winning the 2013 Heartland Division title and fi nishing in Seventh Place at the Divi-sion III Collegiate Club Championship, the Wild Turkeys decided to seek a tougher competition schedule and move over to the Great Plains Division in 2014. A mix of new talent and seasoned veterans will comprise a Grinnell squad that is looking to do big things in its new environment.

Illinois State UniversityThe RedBirds of Illinois State University commence the club’s fi fth year in the Great Plains Division looking to continue a four-year run as the group’s champion. Illinois State returns to the pool with the exact team from the year before still hungry for more wins and the big plaque at the National Collegiate Club Championship. Returning Great Plains Division Most Valuable Player Cody Corradino, along with starters Austin Ihde, Kyle Stablein, Will Davidson and Matt Wiegel, will provide the majority of the offense. In addition to the solid returning core, there are numerous promising freshmen who will battle to make an impact in the RedBirds’ lineup.

Iowa State UniversityIowa State University comes into the season hopeful for another successful year. The Cyclones fi nished in Second Place during the regular season and racked up a Third Place mark at the Great Plains Division Championship for a second consecutive year in 2013. Seek-ing the program’s fi rst Great Plains Division title since 2005, Iowa State will rely on a blend of experience and new faces to once again contend for a National Collegiate Club Championship berth.

Marquette UniversityAfter a year and a half absence from the competitive circuit, the Golden Eagles of Marquette University return to the Great Plains Division. The team has some players left from the class that last played in the league and will undoubtedly look towards its more experienced players - Steven Walczak, Zach Edsey, Brad Krause, Ty-ler Fehser and goalie Jakub Sierzputowski - to lead the way on the offensive and defensive fronts. Also expected to make a signifi cant contributions are freshmen and sophomores who may lack experi-ence at the college level, but will aid the Golden Eagles with their skill and ability. Look for Brian Touhy, Justin Demme, Paul Witt, Adam Hunter, Julie Ahlgrim and others to make positive contribu-tions to the team on both sides of the pool. Although 2014 marks Marquette’s return to the league following a nearly two-year absence, the Golden Eagles have their eyes locked on challenging for the division title and to represent the Great Plains Division at the Na-tional Collegiate Club Championship for the fi rst-time in history.

University of MinnesotaThe University of Minnesota men’s water polo team looks to build upon a fourth consecutive Second Place fi nish in the Great Plains Division to capture the division plaque for the fi rst time since the Gophers claimed the 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009 titles. The 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013 division runner-up, the Gophers are set to regain the Great Plains Division title this year and upend reigning champion Illinois State University. University of NebraskaThe University of Nebraska is ready for the season with a stron-ger and more experienced team. Last year, the Cornhuskers ended in Fourth Place at the Great Plains Division Championship. With most of the team returning, Nebraska will work to fi nish higher in 2014 and contend for the squad’s inaugural division title. The team is under the management of returning players Mitch Matis, Sam Wildman and Brian Cronin, who have worked together over the Spring to improve in places where it had previously fallen short. Since the fi nal horn of the 2013 campaign, the Cornhusk-ers have brought in several talented and experienced recruits: Lion-nel Low, Jessica Fox, Christina Coon and Sean Kelly. The quartet has multiple years of experience on high school and club teams. Additional veteran players to watch include Jonathan Crutchfi eld,

David Shriver, Jacob Lenz and Zach Kentner. Shriver has stepped up to be the new goalie, making up for the graduation of Nikolas Bravo. The returning players and new recruits look forward to play-ing together for a fun and exciting season as the Cornhuskers hope to make the division title game for the fi rst time since 2009 and earn their fi rst trip to the National Collegiate Club Championship tournament.

HEARTLAND DIVISION

Augustana CollegeComing off of a second consecutive Third Place fi nish at the Heartland Division Championship to miss out on a trip to the Di-vision III National Collegiate Club Championship, the Augustana College Vikings have high hopes for this upcoming season. The team remains strong after losing just one starting member, and is led by seniors Erik Niemeier, Michael Duy and Alex Putz. Chris Wilson and Nate Kies join the team and provided fresh talent, while fellow newcomers also include Ian Disteldorf and Jake Speechley. Augustana’s starting lineup is stronger than ever and the entire team is ready for the upcoming season.

Carleton CollegeCarleton College will be in the midst of a rebuilding year following the loss of a talented class of seniors. However, the team can still make an impact in the Heartland Division this year as strong offen-sive and defensive performances from returning starters Stephen Kuenstner, Wilson Josephson and Aaron Sala could place the squad in contention by the season’s end. Josh Pitkofsky will strengthen a developing team, while the Carleton women will play a crucial role by bringing more experience and skill to the pool.

Knox CollegeThe Burning Squirrels of Knox College will continue their focus on team spirit and sportsmanship as the squad seeks to improve upon three-straight Seventh Place fi nishes in the Heartland Division. Thanks to its returning players and a batch of new recruits, Knox looks forward to another season of water polo and camaraderie with the other clubs in the league.

Macalester CollegeMacalester College is ready to move up and take charge of the Heartland Division. With senior goalie Simon Sanggaard in the net and junior center defender Alex Frank, the Scots’ defense will be solid and strong. Leading the offensive charge will be juniors Ben Kromash and senior Marko Martinovic. The Scots will look for the pairing of Kromash and Martinovic to be the main goal scor-ers, while sophomores Sean Mock, Francesco Nutricato and Peter Bertel will also help put points on the scoreboard. New comer Ian Lock will be a big help both offensively and defensively at the cen-ter position as four-time Heartland Division Champion Macalester aims for its fi rst titles since back-to-back crowns in 2005 and 2006.

Saint John’s University (Minn.)Saint John’s University (Minn.) is primed and ready for a great season. Thanks to a year of experience under their belts, ju-niors Connor Reilly, Matthew McCormack, Braden McCor-mack and Alex Ingulsrud look to carry SJU to a Heartland Conference title and beyond. Following an offseason of ded-icated work, senior goalie Brandon Hanson looks like a brick wall in the cage. The addition of freshman Kenny Joseph is an

added plus for the Johnnies as he brings fi nesse, awareness and an outside shooting touch to an already deep squad. However, SJU’s greatest strength is on the bench as head coach Tom Duxbury, a former SJU All-America swimmer and an All-World masters level water polo player, has the team in top form and is hungry for a title.

Saint Mary’s University of MinnesotaSaint Mary’s University of Minnesota looks forward to a great im-provement after a fi fth place fi nish in the Heartland Division at the conclusion of the 2013 season. Look for the team to continue its climb up the division ranks with hopes of reaching the Division III National Collegiate Club Championship in the near future.

= MID-ATLANTIC DIVISION

Bloomsburg UniversityAfter losing several key seniors, Bloomsburg University is currently looking to make an impact with new faces as the Huskies hope to mix new talent with veteran players to have a solid season. Senior Joe Kotinsly returns as captain with a goal to lead Bloomsburg to its fi rst championship season with the help of fellow senior Cole Underwood.

Bucknell UniversityAmong the newest members of the Mid-Atlantic Division, the fourth-year Bison of Bucknell University remain a team on the rise. Fielding a roster with a number of up-and-coming players, the Bison placed second in the Mid-Atlantic Division Western Region a year ago before toppling the University of Pittsburgh by an 18-10 fi nal score to fi nish in Third Place at the division championship tourna-ment, a steady improvement over 2012’s Fourth Place mark in the fi -nal Mid-Atlantic Division standings. The Bison graduated only four players from its 2013 roster, and with added depth thanks to several newcomers, should once again by a contender for the Mid-Atlantic title.

Carnegie Mellon UniversityCarnegie Mellon University hopes to improve on its best ever fi n-ish, Sixth Place, at the 2013 Division III National Collegiate Club Championship by making a run at the title in 2014. Thanks to four of seven starters returning from a squad that placed sixth at the Mid-Atlantic Division tournament, the season outlook is positive. Fielding a roster that features both fi ve returning juniors and sopho-mores, the Tartans are young and looking to develop into a perennial powerhouse. Further bolstering the team’s roster, fi ve freshmen, a sophomore and two graduate students have signed on with Carnegie Mellon. The team will be led by seniors Matthew Reid and Yannick Hogarth, as well as graduate student Rob Saul. Having one of the best goalies in the division as Luke Sampson returns to guard the pipes, defense will once again be a strength for the Tartans. Owning high expectations and unlimited potential, CMU heads into the sea-son looking to make a big impact on the league.

Drexel UniversityDrexel University is primed to rebound from last season’s Eighth Place fi nish at the Mid-Atlantic Division Championship. A familiar face will guide the Dragons in 2014 as 2013 graduate and team Most Valuable Player Josh Hoornaert takes over as head coach with the task of driving the team back to the upper echelon of the division. Drexel returns a majority of its team from last year, including seven

26

seniors, as the team will look to dispatch Eastern Region archrivals the University of Pennsylvania and Villanova University before tack-ling Western Region foes Pennsyvlania State University and Buck-nell University in the Mid-Atlantic Division Championship fi eld. Ed Spangler, Devin Marlin and Kyle Van Leer are expected to lead the way to the top. Offensive fi repower will be the Dragons’ weapon of choice as Ben Melman, Sean Maclean, Brendan Ferraro and George Hirka should burn opposing defenses all season long. With so much of the team returning, Drexel looks to get off to a hot start and fi nish strong.

Franklin & Marshall CollegeThe Franklin & Marshall College Diplomats return to the pool with a growing club ready to work harder than ever to qualify for the postseason with the possibility of again making the Division III National Collegiate Club Championship. Last year, the team placed 11th in the Mid-Atlantic Division and ninth at home during the Di-vision III Championship to continue an ascent into consistent con-tention in both the Keystone State and on the small college scene. Grove City CollegeGrove City College comes into the season looking to break last year’s winless streak with a mix of incoming talent and returning seniors. Having the most experience on the team, super-senior EJ Leuchner will be play a key role on both offense and defense for the Wolver-ines. Returning top scorer Karter Gagliardo will continue his relent-less barrage of the goal to keep the team afl oat, while senior Jon Bernhardt will use his experience to be a two-way threat. Returning sophomore Hadyn Niehaus should be able to use his intimidating size and strength to his advantage, while returning senior goalie Ben Satre will once again be a force in the goal. Incoming freshmen Brad Mazoch, Mark Newman, Josh Walker and Brett Gwynn will use their swimming background to give Grove City a more competitive edge with hopes of reaching the Division III National Collegiate Club Championship tournament after a fi ve-year absence.

Lehigh UniversityThis is an exciting year for Lehigh University as the Mountain Hawks have many new members joining the team. Although Le-high’s roster is predominantly comprised of returning members, the team is looking forward to seeing what its new talent can do in the pool at practice and during games. Lehigh does not have a coach to help run the team, but captain Fred Mischler and co-captain Alex Donnelly have been working to build a strong base for the future of the program. The loss of starting defender Alec Chin Lee will be tough to overcome, but returning players Mark Detterline and Mi-chael Lopinto should admirably fi ll the void as Lehigh hopes to post a winning record and improve on the past two seasons’ 10th place fi nishes at the Mid-Atlantic Division Championship.

Millersville UniversityMillersville University’s goal as a team is to have fun while learning the game of water polo. Fielding a mix of all different skill levels, the Marauders love to play the game. The team hopes to have a great season this year with the goal of qualifying for the Mid-Atlantic Di-vision “A” Championship to have a chance at earning a berth to the National Collegiate Club Championship tournament.

Pennsylvania State UniversityPennsylvania State University is excited and fi red up for another great year of water polo with revenge on its collective mind. Last year, the Nittany Lions dropped a 6-5 game to the University of Pennsylvania

during the Mid-Atlantic Division “A” Championship at Villanova University to miss out on a berth to the National Collegiate Club Championship at the University of California-San Diego. The loss prevented Penn State from becoming the fi rst team since the 2007 and 2008 Penn teams to claim back-to-back Mid-Atlantic crowns, a footnote in the annals of the Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) the Nittany Lions would like to add the Quakers to in 2014. Locked into reclaiming the division championship and dispatching longtime nemeses Penn and Villanova along the way, the champi-onship has been a three horse race for years with the trio combin-ing for all the appearances in the Mid-Atlantic Division title games since Slippery Rock University took home the crown in 2006. Penn State is geared up to take the program’s fi fth division championship (1998, 2005, 2009, 2012) in 10 appearances (1998, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2012, 2013).

Saint Joseph’s UniversitySaint Joseph’s University starts the season led by a sophomore class highlighted by captains Matt Sibona, Andrew Napolitano, Steve Ser-pico and Kevin Shaloo. The Hawks are looking to prove themselves as a talented young team on the rise boasting a promising freshman class headlined by Joe Gaul and Kevin McQuelkin. The goaltending of Napolitano and sharpshooting of Shaloo, Serpico, Sibona and sophomore Nick Merrill represent the team’s strengths. The Hawks are hungry for attention, driven to succeed and are looking to leave a positive impression with their opponents in 2014.

University of DelawareThe University of Delaware looks forward to another season in the Mid-Atlantic Division as the Blue Hens hope to contend for a spot to the National Collegiate Club Championship tournament. Last year, Delaware placed fi fth in the Eastern Region and at the fi nal division championship tournament hosted by Villanova University to maintain a position among the consistent contenders.

University of PennsylvaniaThe University of Pennsylvania enters a fresh season with a new coach and only seven returning players. Last year, the Quakers cap-tured their eighth Mid-Atlantic Division title and fi nished in Fifth Place at the National Collegiate Club Championship to establish a new school record for highest placement in the postseason. As Sec-ond Team All-National Championship Tournament goalie Michael Shashoua and leading scorer Daniele de Vecchis depart, returning players Mike Meigs and Zach Ennis will need to step up and lead the team. Defense will be the strength of the Quakers, just as it has in the past, as well as an abundance of new talent. Freshman Rome Arnold will lock down opposing shooters in cage, while guard Ari Wes returns to protect the center. In place of Antonio Merlo, who left to take a faculty position at Rice University, new head coach Chad Arnold brings a wealth of technical and tactical knowledge to revitalize the team. Penn hopes to dominate with fast swim speed and smart, tactical plays on top of its stable defense. The Quakers look ahead optimistically as the new team shapes up to exceed the high expectations set last season.

27

University of PittsburghThe University of Pittsburgh hopes to improve upon last season, in which they placed fourth at the Mid-Atlantic Division Champion-ships and third in the Western Division. Short a number of starters from last year, the Panthers are excited about their experienced new recruits and a revitalized coaching staff featuring Kevin Alland.

Villanova UniversityVillanova University will be in transition this year due to injuries and departures as the majority of the Wildcats’ 2013 starting lineup will not take to the water this year. Incoming freshman Reid Gordon and captain Tommy Brawley both underwent anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) surgery and are not expected to be back this season. Likewise, the graduation of several key players will make this year challenging for the club. However, several new players will be expected to step in and provide an impact on the team’s success. Look for freshman George Driscoll to be a major force on offense, along with returning seniors Joe Schadt and Kyle Graham. Sophomore Shane Gillespie will handle the two-meter responsibilities and will be complemented by the outside shooting of Matt Flores. Freshman Josh Chatfi eld will fi ll the cage in his inaugural year as the team’s goalie as he was pressed into service due to the graduation of Dan Pericic.

West Chester UniversityOn the heels of a successful fi rst season back in the Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) in which the Golden Rams placed third in the East Region and fi fth at the Mid-Atlantic Division Champi-onship tournament, West Chester University is looking for anoth-er highly successful season. A majority of WCU’s roster returns in 2014 following graduation ceremonies. Relying on leadership from Alex Bowers and Adam Beilhart, the Golden Rams will aim to take the next step and compete for a spot at the National Collegiate Club Championship tournament.

Widener UniversityThe newest member of the largest men’s collegiate club division in the Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA), Widener University will begin its fi rst season in the league under the tutelage of former University of Delaware player/head coach Terry Slenn. The Pride is excited to do big things in its founding season as the co-ed team is comprised of both athletes competing in organized water polo for the fi rst time and players with several years of past experience. These seasoned players - Jeff Hicks and Tyler Palma, both of Ha-zleton (Pa.), Christine Kunzler of Livermore (Calif.) and Eddie Sey-fried of Mount Saint Joseph (Md.) - plan to spread their knowledge and experience of the game to the new players to create a more well-rounded and competitive team. Widener hopes to continue re-cruiting during the season to bring in new talent and more interest to the sport.

MISSOURI VALLEY DIVISION

Lindenwood University “A”A seven-time Missouri Valley Division champion (2005, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2012, 2013), the Lions of Lindenwood University are shooting for the program’s eighth Missouri Valley title in the past 10 years. Lindenwood has a lot of familiar faces, but will have a new look as Gregg Emde takes over as head coach. Returning starters in-clude Deigo Aldea, Toni Storic, Javier Platero and Guillem Boras in the goal. Following a Second Place fi nish at the 2013 National Col-legiate Club Championship hosted by the University of California

-San Diego, the former three-time Division III National Champi-ons (2006, 2007, 2008) Lions hope to continue their recent run of success for another season. Lindenwood is anxious to witness the contributions of freshmen David Alcon and Mario Diaz in goal and fi eld, respectively. Newcomers Andres Rodriguez and Alberto Du-ran could also contribute right away, while returning players Wes White, Alvaro Campos and Andrew Rabe will also have additional opportunities to make their mark in 2014.

Lindenwood University “B”After fi nishing fourth in the Missouri Valley Division the past two seasons, the Lindenwood University “B” team has ambitions to make it Lindenwood-vs.-Lindenwood division title game in 2014.

Saint Louis UniversityA past Missouri Valley Division champion (2011) and four-time runner-up (2009, 2010, 2012, 2013), the Billikens of Saint Louis University come into the season looking for another division cham-pionship after a loss to eventual National Collegiate Club Champi-onship runner-up Lindenwood University last year. Despite the loss of six seniors, including several All-Conference and All-America selections, Saint Louis’ year is promising with a large group of new-comers added to the roster. Veteran goalies Michael Nydegger, John Lauber and Peter Rackovan will anchor the defense, while SLU will rely on sophomore guards Sean McMahon and Tony Perez to shut down the middle of the pool. Seniors Alex Vavra and Keith Fabick are quick and talented at both ends. On offense, the Billikens will be led by the strong presence of Andrew Diemer. Complementing him will be junior Joe DuBois and sophomores Darrian Castro and Brian Woods. Finally, a record freshman class will be instrumental in exploiting matchups.

Southern Illinois UniversitySouthern Illinois University returns this season with a group of experienced players as well as some new talent. The Salukis have six veteran players coming back with senior Eric Engleson, juniors Ashley Booth, Billy McGuire and Peter Schorsch and sophomores Abbi Behrens and Alex Young taking their chances for another try at claiming the Missouri Valley Division title. A large group of fresh-men and sophomores have also joined the Salukis and are eager to play at the collegiate club level. This year’s club team is the biggest in recent memory at Southern Illinois. The veteran players have stepped up into leadership roles quickly with such a large collection of newcomers holding spots on the roster.

Truman State UniversityTruman State University returns for another season after a Sixth Place fi nish in the Missouri Valley Division last year with high hopes of improving on its fi nal position in 2014. The majority of the team’s starters, including Harrison Klemm, Thomas Lyonfi elds, Austin Menichino and Brian Sableman, come back for another crack at advancing the Bulldogs to the National Collegiate Club Champi-onship tournament. A crop of freshmen join the team which should help fi ll the gaps left by the loss of several players.

Washington University in Saint Louis (Mo.)Washington University in Saint Louis and head coach Nathan Todd return this year with unfi nished business and a streak to defend as the Bears fell in the Division III Collegiate Club title game for the second consecutive season after claiming the 2011 crown. A partic-ipant in the past three Division III National Championship games, the Bears dropped a 13-9 game to the University of California-Santa

Cruz at Franklin & Marshall College in 2013. A year prior, Washing-ton slipped 12-11 in sudden death overtime against former club/cur-rent varsity team Monmouth College at Middlebury College almost exactly 12 months after knocking off Bowdoin College by a 13-10 fi nal score for the 2011 Division III Championship. Similar to the past three preseasons, a new year brings the same goals: bring home both the Missouri Valley and Division III Championship plaques and keep the Bears at the pinnacle of the small college water polo mountain. Thanks to the return of John Stupp, Nick Becker, Sky Walker, Vedad Karahodzic, Matt Kramer and Shay Banton, Wash-ington once again appears poised to make its mark once again. A large freshman class, which includes experienced players Will Nick-erson, Brad Mankoff, Flynn Walker and Grant Bowes, should make the road to Bowdoin in Brunswick , Maine for the 2014 Division III Championship an easier one. In addition, swimmer Jake Ritchken and Rick Chopp should factor for the Bears who will rely heavily on reliable players Rory Thibault, Chris Parrino and Alex Lancaster during division play.

Western Illinois UniversityWestern Illinois University will work to return to the division title game for the fi rst time since capturing the 2004 championship afterplacing seventh in the Missouri Valley Division standings a year ago.

NEW ENGLAND DIVISION

Boston CollegeA four-time (2007, 2008, 2012, 2013) division runner-up, Boston College is hungry for a championship as the Eagles went 12-1 and 11-2 in their last two seasons but failed to advance beyond the New England Division title game. However, with a strong returning class including starters Dan Kelly, Nick Henze, Ricky McEntee, Charlie Manclark, Matt Serratta and goalie Caleb Bower, BC is ready for a change of scenery and a chance to travel to the National Collegiate Club Championship.

Boston UniversityBoston University enters the 2014 season looking to improve upon last year’s Fourth Place fi nish in the New England Division. Returning

28

starters Curtis Hon, Ron Glandian, Joshua McDonough, Sean Hughes and Avery Watterworth will make the Terriers a competi-tive force in the New England Division for another year. Further development of the underclassmen and continuing recruitment of incoming students will prove to be vital for the Terriers’ depth and overall team strength. Under the leadership of coaches Konrad Szupinski and Gerard LaFond, Boston University will aim to achieve a high fi nish in the division and continue the process of both im-proving the program.

Dartmouth CollegeA seven-time division champion, with victories in 1996, 1998, 1999, 2001, 2008, 2012 and last year, Dartmouth College will face a degree of adversity after losing nine players to graduation. The Big Green, which placed fourth (2013) and sixth (2012) at the past two National Collegiate Club Championship tournaments and claimed the 1997 National Championship, will once again be helmed by three-time New England Division Coach of the Year Randy Budner and as-sistant coach Forrest Pollard. To return to the National stage for a third consecutive season, the team will need to fi ll the gaps left by the loss of three All-America selections, including 2013 First Team goalie Dan Harnish. Three starters return in Keaton Renta, Peter Loomis and 2013 All-America Honorable Mention pick Fanis Tig-kas, while primary bench players Adam Tong, Chris D’Angelo and David Rozenfeld are back in Green for another go-around in the quest for the program’s second National Championship and fi rst of the 21st century. However, Dartmouth will also need contributions from other returners and newcomers Colin Fristoe, Ben Wilson and Eric Thorpe in the fi eld to have a chance of joining Yale Univer-sity (2009-to-2011) as the only teams to three-peat in the history of the New England Division. The season and the title hopes of Dartmouth could also turn on the ability of new goalie Sandy Goss to shutdown the Big Green’s foes and put his squad in the position to appear in their seventh consecutive New England Division title game.

Harvard UniversityThe newest member of the New England Division, the Crimson of Harvard University will look to make an immediate impression and establish a legacy of excellence.

Middlebury CollegeThis year’s Middlebury College team hopes to improve on a strong Third Place fi nish last season and continue a trend of improvement. Despite the loss of captain Jeremy Janson and team spiritual leader Paul Gerard, the Panthers will turn to a solid upperclassman core to lead the team back to either the Division III or National Collegiate Club Championship. Senior captains Blake Harper and Will Daly will aim to head the charge on the defensive end of the pool, while junior captain Brian Rowett heads up the Panthers on the offensive end. Concurrently, Adam Schiff and Daniel Barnes, returning from abroad, will put their international experience to good use. Missing this year will be standout Jay Whelan. However, longtime coach-es Tom McGinn and Brian Goodwin are confi dent younger team members such as Kevin Benscheidt will step into the breach to keep Middlebury among the teams in the forefront of the division race.

University of ConnecticutOne of two new programs in the New England Division, the Uni-versity of Connecticut is excited to join the Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA). Entering their fi rst year offi cially playing against other universities and colleges, the Huskies are set to show

off their skills and shock some teams. Veterans Derek Litts and Sar-ah McAnulty, as well as captains Kyle Lemere and Tom O’Hara, will be the team’s leaders with their passion and experience guiding the way. Coming from a variety of clubs in high school, the Huskies will rely on great defense, strong offense and a hunger for challenging competition. Notable additions to the squad include Mike Hanley, Hailey Ross and Will Perret, as the trio are expected to be assets and potential breakout stars.

Wesleyan UniversityOne of the storied programs in the history of Division III water polo, the Wesleyan University Cardinals are ready to once again chal-lenge the best in the New England Division. Missing only their top player from last year’s starting lineup, the Cardinals will work to fi eld a team similar to the 2013 Wesleyan squad. Trump card Russell Mad-ison, who was the top scorer and team captain a year ago, is gone and takes a large portion of the Cardinals’ offensive production with him. To replace the lost goals, offensive juggernaut/senior Stefan Brown will work with set/junior Kareem Saleh and senior captain Erin Cohn to put points on the board. Supporting this trio will be sophomore captain Buster Bickerton at set-guard; the lethal lefties of seniors Jake Rosenbloom and Erik Yan; senior Margaret Daly; junior Larry Ma; and junior Joseph Nucci. All of these players are extremely experienced, but Wesleyan has plenty (approximately 16.9 gallons or 13 people) of new blood. Off the bench, junior Thomas Kim, sophomore Naomi Wright and fellow second-year Adam Mir-kine should enhance an already potent Wesleyan lineup that will rely on sophomore goalie Andrew Gartley to do all the heavy lifting in cage.

Yale University A six-time New England Division champion, the Yale University Bulldogs’ possess a legacy of academic and athletic excellence. An academic powerhouse that consistently ranks among the leaders on the Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) Scholar-Athlete Team, the Bulldogs have been the equal of the division’s best in the water as shown by the squad’s 2003, 2004, 2005, 2009, 2010 and 2011 New England Division Championships. This season, Yale’s goals of camaraderie and improvement within the league will mani-fest themselves with the addition of motivated freshmen to a strong upperclassman base and dedicated alumni coaches ready to help the program take the next step towards national dominance.

NEW YORK DIVISION

Binghamton UniversityAfter a bounce back season, Binghamton University is seeking to impress the New York Division behind the veteran leadership of a senior-laden squad. Sophomores Ryan Cervone and Kyle Herbert will be quite the attention grabbers as the duo continues to develop into promising players. Through the leadership of Mike Kildare and Bryan Rossi, the Bearcats are looking to shatter barriers and place better than ever before in the history of the program. Meanwhile, Seth Wolin seeks to continue his dominance with a second All-Con-ference award. Senior keeper Scott Anderson appears to be the an-chor to the defense led by Ryan Fredericks. This year, the team antic-ipates key offensive production from the speedy Alejandro Chavez and hard-shooter Thomas Ruff. Parker Beckett and Pam Lovejoy will add depth to the roster as Binghamton aims to shock the divi-sion with an abrupt turnaround following an Eighth Place fi nish in the New York Division last year.

30

Colgate UniversityColgate University’s vaunted men’s water polo program had a down year last year, but it should be a much improved unit in 2014. Team captains Conor Eliot and Campbell Johnson had a great offseason, successfully recruiting star freshman Mack Neary and stealing soph-omores Oleg Kozel and Evan Caltavuturo from the University of Southern California and Villanova, respectively. Returning sopho-more Allen Khan trained with the Taiwanese Military at the Xioa Lin Temple all summer and has applied his knowledge and expertise in the pool. Through its rebuilding process and new training tech-nique, the team has the potential to be a championship contending threat in the highly competitive New York Division.

Columbia UniversityColumbia University is back with something to prove following a Second Place fi nish in the New York Division last year. Holding the division championship title for four years (2008-to-2011) prior to having the string snapped by Cornell University in 2012, the Lions expect to once again contend for a berth to the National Collegiate Club Championship with the penultimate goal of becoming the fi rst New York Division team to make the National Championship title tilt since the United States Military Academy in 1995.

Cornell UniversityReturning after a second consecutive trip to the National Collegiate Club Championship tournament, Cornell University looks forward to another successful Fall season. Although the team lost star play-ers Evan Ciecimirski and Mario Martone, the returning starters and newcomers are ready to fi ll their shoes. Captain Henry Frye returns for his fourth season. Starters Leekem Brown, Nicholas Goldman and Mason Miller are also anticipated to continue their star perfor-mances of the last three seasons and keep the Big Red in the title pic-ture. Sophomores Harrison Holland-McCowan, an All-Conference selection last year, Mason Miller and Sebastian Cahill will see sub-stantial playing time as part of this young team. Edward Bonnevie will start again for Big Red, using his speed and strong left-handed shot to command the counterattack. Returning starting goalie and team president Gavin Taves, with help from backup Manuel Fernan-dez, will take up a position between the posts to shutdown oppos-ing offenses throughout the league. Due to the highly anticipated debut of Tyler Triscari, Jordan Stout and Bryce Molano, Cornell is looking forward to matching Columbia University (2008-to-2011) asthe only teams in New York Division history to win three consec-utive titles.

Hamilton CollegeHamilton College returns to the pool looking to continue its long reign of success. The team has its sights set on making the Divi-sion III National Collegiate Club Championship, missing it only once in the past fi ve seasons. Returning to power the offense will be All-America selection Reuben Dizengoff, Nicholas Ruppel and John McBratney, all serving as this year’s captains. Hamilton’s notorious defense will be anchored by seniors Zack Dix, Mike Weinzierl and Gideon Wertheimer. The addition of the strongest freshman class in program history will catapult the Continentals with a meteoric rise after a Fifth Place mark in 2013. Clay Holmes, Tripp Miller, Ben Cooper and others add years of water polo experience, dynam-ic skills, lefty prowess and rock solid defensive abilities. Hamilton would like to thank Betsy Dizengoff, Faith Ruppel, T.J. Davis and Dave (DT) Thompson for their continued support and encourage-ment as the program continues to fl ourish.

New York UniversityThis could be another rebuilding year for New York University fol-lowing two division title game appearances in the past nine years (2007, 2005) and one championship (2007). Coming off Fourth (2011), Fifth (2012) and Seventh Place (2013) fi nishes in the New York Division over the past three seasons, the Bobcats will rely on strong defense and timely offense to once again contend for the title.

Rensselaer Polytechnic InstituteFollowing a Fourth Place fi nish in the New York Division a year ago, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute comes into the season looking to continue its climb up the standings in the New York Division. The Engineers are looking to jump even higher up the board with its young team.

Syracuse UniversitySyracuse University will work to surpass a Fourth Place mark in the regular season and a Sixth Place fi nish at the 2013 New York Divi-sion Championship to make the program’s inaugural division title game appearance. The Orange will need to overcome regular divi-sion powers such as Columbia University and Cornell University, but they appear poised to challenge the best with a desire to ascend to the top of the division in 2014.

United States Merchant Marine AcademyThe United States Merchant Marine Academy is back in the pool for their second season with the Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA). The team fi nished last year in Ninth Place among the New York Division teams, a performance the squad will aim to surpass in 2014. Having been removed from the sport for 10 years following a victory in the 2004 New York Division Championship tournament, the team is trying to restore itself to the top of the division. The squad from King Point (N.Y.) is led by captain Joseph Gardetto and returning shooter Matthew Slocum. Tom Herrlich, Victor Ottoboni, Matthew Rich, Charles Skord, Will Calhoun, Tyler Castleman, Drake Dentry, Aaron Garrett, Brennan Hussey, Carolina Morris and Tri Pham join the team, while returning players Maxwell White, Joshua Mize, Evan Nygaard and Kalamaku Akiona use their experience to help the Mariners reach the next level.

United States Military AcademyA four-time New York Division champion (1998, 1999, 2001, 2002), the United States Military Academy has a bright outlook coming into the season. After fi nishing third in the New York Division, the Black Knights lost three starters and major contributors to gradua-tion, but is poised to fi ll the gap they have left. The team is led in the fi eld by seniors Tyler Nelson and Andrew Laubach with senior Jacob Chisholm returning in goal. This core of seniors, in addi-tion to some rising underclass talent in juniors Matthew Fox, David Bennett and Jonathan Richards and sophomore Brendon Cagney, is determined to win the New York Division and make it back to the National Collegiate Club Championship tournament. A large fresh-man class is also looking to help contribute to the effort as the team works for its fi rst division title since 2003.

NORTH ATLANTIC DIVISION

Amherst CollegeDespite graduating seven seniors and several starters, the Amherst College Yo-Ho look to continue their successes of recent years. The Yo-Ho Penguins, which fi nished second in the North Atlantic Divi-sion to Tufts University in 2013 and advanced to the North Atlan-tic Division title game for four straight years, return Second Team All-Conference selections Connor Sholtis and goalie Anders Lind-gren, along with a strong core of juniors and sophomores. Led by co-captains Lindgren and Blaine Patrick Werner, the team looks to develop several varsity swimmers into elite and competitive players. Amherst also welcomes Washington State High School 2013 Defen-sive Most Valuable Player Nathan Ives to the team.

Bates CollegeBates College is excited to return to the pool this Fall and looks to improve on a Fifth Place fi nish in the North Atlantic Division last year.

Bates hopes to compete this season for a top seed in the Northern Region heading into the division championship tournament.

Bowdoin CollegeBowdoin College looks forward to what might be the most success-ful season the team has experienced as the squad will again host the Division III National Collegiate Club Championship tournament. The Polar Bears welcome several talented juniors and seniors in-cluding Max Wolf, Patty Boyer, John Lagasse, Chase Hodge and twins Lloyd and Lyle Anderson. Senior captains Daniel Byrnes and Peter Deardorff are ready to provide suffocating defense in set, while sophomore captain Peter Cohen is Bowdoin’s most powerful shooter and is ready to lead the team on offense with unprecedented energy and impressive strength. Defensive leader and starting goalie Tommy Kramer is ready to create an impenetrable iron curtain and set the tone for rookie goalies Michael Given and Angus Gorman. This team is the most talented that Bowdoin has fi elded, including the 2011 Division III Championship runner-up squad, as Bowdoin is ready to showcase its solid defense and powerful shooters.

Colby CollegeColby College is looking to continue its upward trend of excellence seen in past years. After a number of rebuilding years, the Mules are excited to call 2014 their strongest core of players in recent mem-ory. The co-ed team is excited for a big freshman class, loaded with talent. Veterans Liam Connell, Tyler Lewtan, Kevin Walls, Eliza Bak-er-Wacks, Olivia Lang and Kerill O’Niel will provide much-needed leadership for the new players. O’Neil comes off a season plagued with injury, but looks stronger and faster than ever. Big gun Amos Shinkle has improved his shooting ability and rising star Andrew Beacham looks promising in goal this year. The team will miss Mar-avilla Clemens and Henry Brown as they take their talents over-seas for the semester. Other players to watch this season include Joe Knight, John Blackburn, Kyle Wong, Eric Walton, Gavin Blake, Hugh Jacobson, John Devine and Tess Farley.

Northeastern UniversityNortheastern University comes into the Fall stronger than last season.

In their second year in the North Atlantic Division, the Huskies have built on their successes by strengthening the program with most of the same players from last year’s Fourth Place team. With-out graduating any starters, Northeastern has added new talent in Sam Burns, Chris Vogel and Gabriel Nessim. Senior starters Trevor Ryan, Ryan Kirkpatrick, and Gardiner (Gardy) Kirby look to lead the team to victory in their fi nal year before graduation. The team hopes to continue its success with a fast-paced offense and hard-nosed defense while broadening its diversity in play style and team chemistry. The Huskies expect returning sophomores Brock Macelli, Will Ragheb and Michael Van Wickle to continue the team’s success this season and into the future.

Tufts UniversityTufts University will work to continue its success from last year. Af-ter a division championship and a Third Place fi nish at the Division III Collegiate Club Championship, the Jumbos are hungry for more. Tufts lost four All-Conference players including North Atlantic Di-vision Most Valuable Player Austin Wood, so the Jumbos will turn to captains Harry Wood and Justin Choi for leadership. Fielding a young squad with a strong freshman class, six-time North Atlantic Division champion (1997, 1998, 2007, 2009, 2010, 2013) Tufts will rely on returning program “Freshman of the Year” Michael Lordi to guide the fi eld players. Sophomore Aiden Sears will command the defense from net and look to connect with Russ Weeks on outlet passes to decimate opponents’ defenses.

United States Coast Guard AcademyThe United States Coast Guard Academy Bears fi nished third in the North Atlantic Division last season, a mark the team would look to improve upon in 2014. A two-time division runner-up since 2009, the Bears are seeking their fi rst division title since 2008.

University of MassachusettsThe University of Massachusetts is excited to begin its eighth year in the Collegiate Water Polo Association as a club program.

Expe-rienced freshman/goalie Sam Wisotzki, Kirk O’Halloran, Brennan Ackerman, Eric Jentoft-Herr, Will Pochal and Mykl Ambros join the Catmounts.

Williams CollegeWilliams College continues to build a stronger team as the “Vit-ruvian Men” return in perfect form for a championship run. The four-time division champion Ephs have never claimed the North Atlantic Division title, as Williams claimed four title plaques (1995, 1997, 2000, 2006) in its former home of the New England Division.

NORTHWEST DIVISION

Oregon State UniversityOregon State University is coming off what many teams would consider a record-performance as the Beavers fi nished third in the Northwest Division. However, the two-time Northwest Division runner-up in the past four seasons (2010, 2012) will not be happy until the division championship plaque resides exclusively in Cor-vallis, Ore.

Portland State UniversityAmong a group of fourth-year programs in the Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA), Portland State University is excited to improve on its sixth place fi nish in the 2013 Northwest Division regular season.

University of OregonAn eight-time division champion (2004, 2005, 2007, 2008, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013) in 10 title game appearances (2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013) since 2004, the Univer-sity of Oregon Ducks are arguably the most successful team in the nation over the past decade. The Ducks will once again possess the intensity and determination to continue an assault on the division record book as Oregon fi nished 13th at the 2013 National Collegiate Club Championship tournament hosted by the University of Cali-fornia-San Diego after placing 10th in both 2011 and 2012. Due to the loss of Aaron Bishow, captain Colton Saunders will step up to lead the team alongside battle-hardened seniors Charlie Hockett and Westen Lawton. In addition to their seniors, the Ducks have a bevy of offensive and defensive talent in returning players Trevor Harper

and Mitch O’Donnell ready to place a Northwest Division team in the National Championship game for the fi rst time since 2000.

University of Washington (Wash.)The University of Washington looks to improve on a strong 2013 season in the Northwest Division. After quickly and convincingly se-curing the regular season title, the Huskies dropped a 13-10 shootout against the University of Oregon for the division title. A seven-time Northwest Division champion (1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2006, 2009), Washington will be short two-year starter Grant Dunaway and frequent contributor Drew Ridge in 2014, but welcome back four starters and a sizeable group of talented newcomers. Michael Magee returns after an All-Conference freshman season along with fellow standout fi rst-year Abe Wheeler. Super seniors Ben Byers, Ben Shuman and senior captain Nic Tower buoy the team with ex-perience. The Huskies’ roster is bolstered with the skill of Joey Das-comb and Brad Perfect--both California natives with competitive water polo and swimming backgrounds. This season, Coach of the Year Tyler Farmer looks to lead a young but talented Huskies team to its fi rst trip to National Collegiate Club Championship tourna-ment since 2009 with the goal of equaling the 2000 team’s National Championship.

Washington State University Washington State University re-enters the Northwest Division for the 2014 season. After a few years out of the league, the Cougars have recruited a solid group of younger players to help re-brand the team as contenders. Led by senior captain Evan Moline and sopho-more Joseph Bocchi, the team is determined to be a competitor in the division for years to come. A solid group of players, including graduate student Peter Jacobs, sophomores Ryder Desteunder and Nick Riggio, freshman Sam Thornton and senior goalie Zac Baker-will once again make Washington State a threat to make the division title game for the fi rst time since 1998.

Western Washington University Western Washington University returns for a second year after the team was rebuilt by its dedicated players in 2013. Captains Nicholas Glidden, Dane Hendricks, Jax Hammer and Colin White come back to continue this rebuilding process. WWU is a young and small-sized team. However, with many eager newcomers joining the program, the size of the club continues to grow in numbers - and hopefully height. Stephanie Babb takes over as head coach after a successful and energetic year, along with her friend and fellow captain of the Western Washington women’s team, Amy Martin. Despite this being a new and youthful team, all of the players are ready to play, learn and continue Western Washington’s water polo motto of “First in Friendship”.

PACIFIC COAST DIVISION

California Polytechnic State UniversitySuccess is not the norm for the California Polytechnic State Uni-versity Mustangs, it is a requirement of historic proportions. A fi ve-time National (1999, 2001, 2002, 2004, 2007) and nine-time Pacifi c Coast Division (1998, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2006, 2007, 2008) Champion, the Mustangs’ are once again looking strong this year. The team seems more united than ever with the talent, skill and drive to reclaim what has been missing from San Luis Obispo since 2007 - the National Collegiate Club Championship.

California State University-Long BeachCalifornia State University-Long Beach begins its second year in the Pacifi c Coast Division. After fi nishing in Fifth Place at the conclu-sion of their inaugural season, Long Beach State is projected to have great success in 2014. This team is stocked with many players who have beyond four years of water polo experience. By utilizing these vital resources, as well as returning coach Tyler Trute, the team ex-pects to rise to the occasion and return as a serious contender in the division race.

California State University-NorthridgeA second-year program, California State University-Northridge joins arguably the most competitive division in the ranks of colle-giate club water polo as six and of the last seven National Champi-ons have come out of the Pacifi c Coast Division. Mixed with veter-ans and fi rst-time freshmen, the team expects to prove themselves in their fi rst year. Facing some of the nation’s best players each weekend, CSU-Northridge will have their hands full as they work to consistently improve and upset the powerhouses in the division. San Diego State UniversitySan Diego State University is looking at having its best year since the program’s establishment in 2007. The Aztecs comes into the season with high expectations after ranking as high as Fourth Place during last year’s National Collegiate Club Top 20 Polls. SDSU, which fi n-ished second to eventual National Champion the University of Cal-ifornia-Los Angeles via a 10-7 Pacifi c Coast Division title game loss, lose only one player from its near National Collegiate Club qualify-ing team. Among the team’s greatest strengths is its coaching staff, which has demonstrated the ability to adjust the game plan depend-ing on the style of each opponent. A fresh mix of incoming fresh-men join the already young team as the Aztecs move from division powers to potential National Championship contenders.

University of California-IrvineFollowing a two-year absence, the University of California-Los An-geles returns to the Pacifi c Coast Division. The team consists of new and young players who are hungry to prove themselves in the league. The Anteaters are prepared to develop a team that can be-come a top competitor in the Pacifi c Coast Division.

University of California-Los AngelesThe praise of 2013 for the defending National Champion Bruins is a memory as the University of California-Los Angeles return to the water after winning their third National Championship (2009, 2010, 2013) in fi ve years last November at the University of California-San Diego. Captains Brandon D’Sa and Dominic Lucido, the Bruins’ leading goal-scorers from 2013, who may have been All-America

picks if not for the Bruins’ depth, are primed to lead UCLA to an-other Pacifi c Coast Division crown and back to the National Club Championship tournament. Senior stalwarts Ben Hendricks and Greg Senning will anchor the Bruins as the team traverses the South-ern half of the Golden State aiming to become the only team in the sport’s history to claim back-to-back club National Championships twice in six years. Junior Jake Romanas and sophomores Jim Wi-ley and Austin Fagrell will provide depth after losing captain John Carney and All-America honoree Alex Johnson to graduation. The Bruins are eager to begin their quest for another back-to-back cham-pionship run and a fi fth tournament berth since 2009 following pre-vious trips in 2009, 2010, 2012 and 2013.

University of California-San DiegoThe host of the 2013 Men’s National Collegiate Club Champion-ship, the Tritons of the University of California-San Diego aspire to compete in back-to-back national championship tournaments and improve on last year’s Ninth Place fi nish. Long serving captain Pat-rick Rolan has departed, leaving a promising young squad to defend his legacy. The team will expect inspiration from returning captain Juan Pablo Jose-Ramos and new captain Eric Silcock. Rolan will be a tough act to follow but Silcock, a 2013 All-America and Nation-al Championship All-Tournament First Team recipient, won’t mind the pressure. Junior Mike Van Ahlers will play a major part as the team’s only returning two-meter man. The outstanding sophomore class will have returning starters Frederick Ferrer and Lance Lerum to display leadership. Travis Knight, Devon Tomooka and Michael Hohl will have important roles on the championship assault as the Tritons will need to unseat defending National Champion the Uni-versity of California-Los Angeles (2009, 2010, 2013) and fellow past champions the University of Southern California (2011, 2012) and California Polytechnic State University (1999, 2001, 2002, 2004, 207) to win the division and make it back to the National Club Champi-onship tournament. In the cage, returning No. 1 goalie Gio Goggia will once again be called upon to provide the backbone of the Tri-tons’ solid defense. The experience of seniors Garrett Sauls, Claudio Gage, and Danny Kahl will be crucial, and juniors Richard Lund and Shane Calloway will lead with their hard work and dedication. Rookies Rex Shettlesworth and Ankit Vyas will improve and strive to break through into the starting group. The Tritons look forward to adding more talent to their ranks with the incoming freshman class, and will push themselves to show their worth this season.

University of California-Santa Barbara “A”The Gauchos of the University of California-Santa Barbara “A” come back to the water polo scene this year more excited and ready to play than ever before. With a full squad of returning players, UCSB is a hot contender for the Pacifi c Coast Division Champi-onship. So hot in fact, that they had to add an additional team to the league in fi elding a “B” team. In addition to new recruits who have been working hard since Day One, the Gauchos are looking to returning players who, due to injuries, had to miss last season. Centers Paul Von Stroke, Saleem Omary and Ian Kistler are primed, healthy and ready to be forces at the set position. New coach and Ventura High School alum Daniel Loman is working with the perim-eter shooters so the Gauchos expect to rain an inordinate amount of shots down onto the opposing goalies. On the other end of the tank, goalies Reid Bongard and Taylor Earwood, working under the tutelage of head coach Travis Allian, have pledged to not let any markers into the cage. The team hopes there is nothing that will stop the UC-Santa Barbara from achieving its goal - to win the National Collegiate Club Championship.

University of California-Santa Barbara “B”The only team in the Pacifi c Coast Division to fi eld a “B” team, the University of California-Santa Barbara will use its extra squad to spread playing time and build even tighter bonds between players as they progress in their careers.

University of San DiegoThe University of San Diego comes back into the league after an en-tire year off from organized competition. Led by newly elected club President Darius Tenorio, the Toreros hope to re-enter the league with both vigor and tenacity. Having a squad of players who have only played together off and on for one year, San Diego is in the early stages of rebuilding and creating a long lasting program under head coach Teddy Simonson. Last semester, the Toreros played only four non-league games and put up good fi ghts against San Jose State University, Arizona State University, California State University-Chi-co and the University of California-San Diego. University of Southern CaliforniaThe 2011 and 2012 National Collegiate Club Champions, the Uni-versity of Southern California Trojans missed a chance to become the fi rst program in men’s collegiate club history to win three con-secutive National Championships in 2013. Following a Third Place fi nish in the Pacifi c Coast Division behind the University of Cali-fornia-Los Angeles and San Diego State University, USC is ready to return to the forefront of the division as the Trojans “Fight On” for their third National Championship.

ROCKY MOUNTAIN DIVISION

University of Arizona “A”Among the most successful programs in collegiate club water polo over the past 17-years, the University of Arizona holds 11 division championships (Southwest - 1996, 1997, 1999, 2000, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2009) and has appeared in 16 title games

(Southwest Runner-Up - 1998, 2001, 2008, 2010; Rocky Mountain- 2012). Arizona will aim to capture its fi rst Rocky Mountain Division plaque this year. After fi elding both “A” and “B” teams in 2013, the Wildcats elected to reduce to one team to focus on building a strong squad. Watch for Patrick Shearer, Jordan Bishop and Cole Pickell to be the stars for Arizona as they have taken leadership roles to help guide the team to victory.

University of Colorado “A”The University of Colorado is gunning for the fi fth title in program history as the Buffaloes previously won pairs of Rocky Mountain (2008, 2010) and Southwest (1998, 2001) Division crowns.

University of Colorado “B”The University of Colorado “B” team will attempt to move up in the division standings after a Seventh Place fi nish last season.

University of New MexicoThe University of New Mexico has come into this season in a re-building mode. A quantity of players return, with a few freshmen recruits adding depth to the roster. Although the team’s numbers have dropped from past larger squads, the Lobos are working to acquire more athletes. Goalie Ryan Grady will once again guard the cage, while Jarryd St. John, Chris Smallwood, Addison Ozakyol, Alex Kapp, Jay Del Barga, Ryan Hoover and Alex Vazquez will see the majority of the time in the fi eld.

University of UtahA seven-time division runner-up (Rocky Mountain - 2008, 2010, 2011, 2013 / Southwest - 2003, 2004, 2005) and three-time champi-on (Rocky Mountain - 2007, 2009, 2012), the University of Utah will look to rebound after a disappointing end to the 2013 season which saw a 9-8 defeat by Arizona State University in the Rocky Mountain Division title game. The Utes will rely heavily on their stern defense and a high-powered offense. Returning starters include seniors Ian Smith, Christian Hayes and Brandton Ferrin. Newcomers Christian Carlson, Nick Wallman and Nate Peercy should create problems for opposing defenses. The Crevelings, Kiffer and Peter, return as they look for tremendous seasons. Senior Parker Finlinson also comes back after serving a mission with hopes of regaining the form he demonstrated before he left. Utah has a capable bench with Ian Pradhan, Ben Bartholomew, Mike Morgan and Joes Hayes giving head coach Tom Taylor multiple options.

University of WyomingThe University of Wyoming Cowboys return this season after plac-ing eighth in the Rocky Mountain Division a year ago. This year, this team is endorsed by more experienced players that came in as fresh-men last year. The loss of a fews seniors will be overcome thanks to the acquisition of new recruits.

SOUTHEAST DIVISION

Auburn UniversityAuburn University comes into the 2014 season with a ton of expe-rienced upperclassmen and some strong freshmen additions. The Tigers fi nished fi fth in the Southeast Division in 2013, but only one of Auburn’s starters graduated and will not return to the water for the team. This leaves a highly experienced team with the motiva-tion to make a splash in the Southeast Division. Auburn’s leading scorer Kyle Johnson returns to the plains looking to improve his already record stats at Auburn. Senior Sean Fiery, a returning starter with good scoring capabilities, and sophomore Kevin Roughgarden, who made an impact as an underclassman, will be relied on to put points on the board. However, one of Auburn’s greatest strengths is on the defensive end, where if healthy for the entire season, goalie Frank Puglisi returns to frustrate shooters and lead the Tigers’ deep into postseason play. Seniors Robert Parmele, Andrew Winslow and Matthew Bursztyn, as well as juniors Dylan Holder and Michael Kel-ly, will all see substantial playing time.

Clemson UniversityIn the wake of a Seventh Place fi nish in the Southeast Division, Clemson University will turn to some new and old talent to climb up the division standings. The team has high hopes for a successful season as the Tigers strive to slash through way to the National Col-legiate Club Championship for the fi rst time.

Emory UniversityIn their fi fth year back in the league, the Emory University Eagles seeks to exceed the past two seasons’ third (2012) and fourth (2013) place marks at the Division III National Collegiate Club Champion-ship. After weathering the graduation of three All-America selec-tions, the Eagles will combine their remaining starters with a large pool of new talent. Despite the loss of All-America goalie Allon Mordel, Emory’s defense will be its greatest strength with senior captain Joey Arlington leading the last line from the guard position. Assisting Arlington is freshman goalie Alex Sweeting, whom the Ea-gles are eager to see in action. On the offensive end, Emory will be looking for new leadership after the graduation of leading scorers Paul Musille and Ben Mills. In light of this, the Eagles will be turn-ing to a new face in graduate student JR McMillan. McMillan will

provide much needed stability to the offense and will be aided by senior Bryan Mann and junior James Dickey, both of whom will be stepping into larger offensive roles. Mann and Dickey, along with Arlington, constitute Emory’s only returning starters from the 2013 squad. After several close losses against Southeast foes during the 2013 season to place sixth at the division championship, Emory looks to continue to contend for a top spot among its Division I opponents.

Georgia Institute of TechnologyThe 2012 Southeast Division runner-up to Vanderbilt University, the Yellow Jackets of the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) fi nished third last year after placing second during the regular season. However, the six-time Southeast Division champions (2002, 2003, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2011) will not be content with being second best as the team will look to wreck its foes in 2014. Veteran players Ilya Kovalenko, Steve Larson and Charlie Oliva will provide substan-tial experience that will be shared with the younger players.

University of AlabamaThe University of Alabama returns this season in the Collegiate Wa-ter Polo Association (CWPA) after a 10-year hiaturs with expecta-tions of being an immediate contender. Although not competing in the CWPA, the club has been playing together for the past few years and has decided to rejoin the league. The club is looking to become sustainable and competitive year-in and year-out. Alabama will rely heavily on its very talented juniors and sophomores to ensure that it becomes a strong and balanced team.

University of GeorgiaThe University of Georgia has high hopes for the 2013 season as the Bulldogs bring back plenty of talent in the fi eld. Two-time Southeast Division Most Valuable Player Kevin Hughes will once again by the primary offensive weapon for the two-time (2010, 2014) division champions. Hughes will be supported by fellow All-Conference players Christian Saupe and Wilson Couture. Alex Ballasiotes will move into goal to fi ll the void left by the loss of All-America honor-able mention Alex Lembeck. The Dawgs look to be in good position to make it through the Southeastern Division and back to the Na-tional Collegiate Club Championship tournament again this season.

University of TennesseeThe University of Tennessee Volunteers head into the season with six returning starters and a stout freshman class. Averaging a com-bined seven goals-per-game last season, Mark Artz and Drew Hogan will lead the attack. Replacing the speed of Jared Bolin is not an easy task, but ex-UT swimmer Isaac Taylor will spearhead this challenge. Between the pipes, 6’-5” tower Anthony Arcario, who is coming into the Fall with a .600 career save percentage, will cast a long shadow in the water.

Vanderbilt UniversityVanderbilt University is seeking to reclaim the Southeast Division title after coming up short against the University of Georgia last season. A strong core returns to provide leadership, including cap-tains Scott Feder and Mitch Boynton, All-Conference selections Sam Erlinger and Eric Rafl a-Yuan and experienced upperclassmen Allyn Kinney and Justin Riele. Sophomores Michael Gilliland, Ellis Brown and Sloan Damon will also be key contributors on both sides of the ball. Coach Josh Hall enters his second year at the helm of the Com-modores as the team will be well prepared for the season and ready to compete for another title.

2010). However, the team comes into this season in a rebuilding mode as the Aggies continue to revitalize their roster with multiple new faces joining the program.

Texas State UniversityOn the heels of a Third Place fi nish last year ago at the Texas Divi-sion Championship hosted by Rice University, the Bobcats of Texas State University will strive to break into the upper echelon of the now eight-time Texas Division.

Texas Tech UniversityTexas Tech University has bulked up its team from last year by re-taining players after graduating only three and adding a large number of freshmen and new members. After graduating three solid players in Chad Conlin, Jake Hines and Daniel Baldwin, the Red Raiders will need to fi ll some holes. Tech returns shooters such as Damien Hines, Will Weidman, Ricky Flores and Parker Denman who will allow the Raiders to give on offense as well as they take. A change at goalie will also occur as Carson Courtney replace Michael Medrano, who will play in the fi eld.

University of HoustonThe majority of the University of Houston squad that fi nished second at the 2013 Texas Division Championship comes back for another crack at winning the division and advancing to the Nation-al Collegiate Club Championship. The only complication the Cou-gars will face is the graduation of All-Conference caliber player Jon Fouty. To compensate, Houston will depend on its seniors to move on as a team and focus on continuing an upward trend following third (2011) and second (2012, 2013) place fi nishes in the fi nal Texas Division standings.

University of TexasThe 2003-06, 2009. 2010, 2012 and 2013 Texas Division champions, the Longhorns of the University of Texas begin the 2014 season looking to continue a trend of advancing to the division title game every year since the formation of the grouping in 2001. After a lack-luster Eighth Place fi nish at the National Collegiate Club Champi-onship, the team is ready to go all the way and make it back to the National title game for the fi rst time since 2010. Aside from losing its starting goalie, the team is as solid as ever. Key returning players Bobby Woolweaver and Nikko Hacopian will lead the Longhorns to another successful season.

TEXAS DIVISION

Baylor UniversityBaylor University brings a young team to the tough Texas Division this year. Three freshmen are projected to start for the Bears, with two recruits from San Diego, Dante Lemons and Matt Ryan, looking to combine with Agustin Guerra and Thomas Gill to dominate from the opening sprint. Baylor kept the core of its team intact, start-ing in net where they are anchored by former University of Notre Dame standout, Tate Kernell. Both a teacher and a student at Baylor, Kernell’s ability to guide from the rear solidifi es the Bears’ defense. Darren Guinness is back to build off his offensive breakout season. His transition to the center position made him the focal point of Baylor’s offense. Captain Matt Bavlsik will be the longest tenured Baylor starter. His aggressive defense will make opposing centers’ lives diffi cult, if Bavlsik can avoid ejection trouble. The biggest loss from last year could be Jeremy Peterson, who limited his participa-tion but possessed speed that made him deadly on the counterattack. Sole senior Nick Kallimani will offer wisdom and guidance in his last year. In a division that has been dominated by a few teams, Baylor looks to make some noise, both this year and in the years to follow, with a revitalized defense and a potent offense.

Louisiana State UniversityThe fi rst team from the state of Louisiana in the Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) in several years, Louisiana State Univer-sity embarks on its third season in the league after fi nishing seventh (2012) and sixth (2013). This will be an exciting season at LSU as the team is confi dent it can crack the Top Five in the Texas Division. All but one of the Tigers’ starters return for another go at earning the program’s fi rst National Collegiate Club Championship tournament berth. Captain Ricky Carnicle is back after earning All-Conference Second Team honors. while shooter Ridge Porter from Maryland returns to aid Carnicle. Along with some of LSU’s more seasoned players returning from last year, a variety of new talent comes in from Georgia and California. 10 recruits from a variety of back-grounds will take to the water for the Tigers as LSU will fi eld a roster of 20+ athletes. The roster has grown to such an extent that Louisiana State could fi eld a womens’ squad during the Spring, a sign of water polo’s growth in the deep South. Thanks to the team’s chemistry, roster growth and supportive community, LSU is on the cusp of breaking into the upper echelon of the division.

Rice UniversityRice University comes into the 2014 season with a group of fresh-men stronger than previous years. In addition, the goalie position improves with one of the nation’s best from a year ago taking over between the pipes in former University of Pennsylvania standout and 2013 National Collegiate Club Championship All-Tournament selection Michael Shashoua. Senior Gabriel Teo takes over in the set defense position, while fellow seniors Kevin Gravesmill and Brett Virgin-Downey are back for their second seasons as captains and hope to push the freshmen and returning players to greater heights after a Seventh Place fi nish in 2013. Thanks to a deeper pool of talent and more experience, the Owls of Rice are poised to make some noise.

Texas A&M UniversityTexas A&M University hopes to continue its past success as the Ag-gies won the Texas Division in back-to-back seasons (2007, 2008) and qualifi ed for four consecutive division title games (2007, 2008, 2009,
