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 his 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.

CWPA Sportsmanship StatementThe CWPA and the NCAA promote good sportsmanship by student-athletes, coaches and spectators. We request your cooperation by supporting the participants and offi cials in a positive manner. Profanity, racial or sexist comments, or other intimidating actions directed at the offi cials, student-athletes, coaches, event personnel or team representatives will not be tolerated and are grounds for removal from the site of competition. Also, consumption or possession of alcoholic beverages and tobacco products is prohibited.

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 you 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, Mountain West or Atlantic Coast Conferences, handle several sports, while others like the CWPA handle a single sport. With respect to water polo, all collegiate 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 smaller scale performing similar functions for its member institutions. The conference works with the national governing bodies (NCAA and NAIA) to help provide competitive opportunities and services, yet remains an independent organization 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, contact 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 (Bucknell University swimming & water polo coach) in the 1970’s. Its founding membership included teams from Maryland, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and New York.

The management and oversight of the organization relied on volunteer coaches until 1990, when a commissioner was hired to perform basic scheduling for the 15-member teams in the league. Offi ciating assignments were performed at the time 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 organization experienced a strike by its offi ciating corps. This strike ultimately resulted in the organization establishing its own offi ciating bureau, assuming responsibility for all of its offi ciating assignments. The CWPA hired Tere Ma as its inaugural Director of Offi cials and Loren Bertocci as its fi rst Technical Director.

Few changes were made to this structure until 2006, when the conference established a Technical Committee. One of these members, Ed Reed, initiated the CWPA’s fi rst online education program in 2007 for referees using video clips.

The Collegiate Water Polo Association is divided into two classes, varsity and sport club. Each class of membership is then divided into divisions based on geography.

Varsity ClassThe top four teams from each division championship move on to the CWPA Eastern Championship. The fi rst place team at the Eastern Championship receives the league’s automatic berth to the NCAA National Championship in December.

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

Southern Division Teams play a double round robin schedule within their re-spective regions (East or West) to determine seeding for the division championship, in which everyone competes.

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 play a single round robin schedule within their region and then a crossover event where they compete against four of the teams from the opposite region. The four opponents in this instance are selected at random. All teams attend the championship tournament, with seeding based on the regu-lar season won/loss records.

Big Ten Division Teams play a single round robin schedule over two weekends plus additional seeding games drawn at random. All teams attend the championship tournament, with seeding based on the regular season won/loss records.

Florida DivisionTeams play a single round robin schedule over two weekends plus additional seeding games drawn at random. All teams attend the championship tournament, with seeding based on the regular season won/loss records.

The Eastern Region teams play a single round robin schedule within their region. All teams attend the champion-ship tournament, which is separated into two groups, with the top eight teams from the regular season playing in one group for the division title and the remaining seven teams in a second group for placement. Seeding at the championship alternates between the regions, with the fi rst seed awarded to the region that won the prior season.

Tie Breaker System - All SituationsIf at any time two teams are tied in regular season record or goal differentials 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 equal, use the total of goals scored against each other. If the total of goals scored between the teams is equal, use the differential for all com-mon opponents seeded higher. If no common opponents are seeded higher, use the goal differential against the highest seeded common opponent.

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 tied teams serves as the tiebreaker. If two teams are tied in goal differential, head-to-head competi-tion breaks the tie. If the goal differential in their contests against one another for all teams is the same, use the total of goals scored against each other. If the total of goals scored among the teams is equal, the goal differential between com-mon opponents seeded higher is used to determine ranking. This may require averaging the goal differential per contest if the number of games among common opponents is unequal. Should teams be tied in won/loss record and they have not played each other, the goal differentials against higher seeded common opponents are used to break the tie. If no common opponents are seeded higher, use the goal differential against the highest seeded common opponent.

(for advancement w/in championships)If more than two teams are tied in won/loss records, goal differentials among the tied teams serves as the tiebreaker. If the goal differential in their contests versus one another is the same, use the total of goals scored against each other. If the total of goals scored between the teams is equal, their original seeding serves 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.

NORTHERN DIVISION

Brown UniversityThe Brown University men’s water polo team will look to contend for a Northern Division title and to improve on last year’s sixth place fi nish at the CWPA Eastern Championship. Sophomore Svetozar Stefanovic, the nation’s third leading goal scorer, will look to lead the team again, as he poured in 81 goals for Bruno last season and handed out 32 assists. Also adding to the offense will be senior cap-tain Gordon Hood, who was second on the team in scoring with 69 goals and a team-high 35 assists, followed by senior captain Corey Schwartz, who chipped in with 40 goals. Adding depth to the Bears’ lineup is Brandon Yoshimura, and sophomores Cyrus Mojdehi, Ryan Gladych and Dean Serure. Leading the defense in the cage will be junior Max Lubin and rookie Walker Shockley. Lubin, play-ing behind All-America goalkeeper Kent Holland, gained valuable experience last year as he saw action in six contests and went 2-0 in the net. Also adding strength to the back line will be sophomore Michael Hartwick and junior Marcus Gartner, who will be manning the center defender position. Other valuable defensive weapons are junior Toby Espinosa and freshmen James McNamara and Grant Villeneuve. Rounding out the deepest squad in head coach Felix Mercado’s four years at Brown are freshmen Steven Chizen, Eric Robb and Chris Culin.

Connecticut CollegeEntering the program’s 10th season as a varsity sport, the Camels of Connecticut College will seek to improve on a seventh place fi nish in the Northern Division last season. A highlight of the season for the Camels will be hosting the 2010 CWPA Division III Eastern Championship against Johns Hopkins University, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Washington & Jefferson College and Penn-sylvania State University-The Behrend College.

Fordham UniversityFordham University continues to build momentum, following last year’s run to the Northern Division Championship game after earn-ing a share of the regular season title, and later earning a fi fth place fi nish at the CWPA Eastern Championship. The placement marked the highest fi nish by Fordham in 22 years as the Rams had not quali-fi ed for the Eastern Championship since 1987. The vast majority of the 2009 squad is back for 2010, led by CWPA Northern Division Coach of the Year Bill Harris and the dynamic duo of Ali Arat and Mikey Edwards at the two-meter spot. The two combined for over 140 goals last season, with Arat earning First Team All-Northern Division and Rookie of the Year honors, as well as Honorable Men-tion All-America accolades, while Edwards was a Second Team All-Northern Division pick. Fordham will also welcome back All-North second team pick Ryan Hultman and former All-Northern Division selection Alex Powell to the fold on the perimeter. Hultman fi nished 2009 with 30 goals, while Powell missed all but fi ve games due to injury, but is a former two-time 50-goal scorer. In net, Fordham will have junior Christian Flessner back after a solid fi rst season as the Rams’ top netminder. He made 241 saves in 2009, which is the second-most in the program’s history, but he’ll be pushed for the starting job by freshmen Eric Mullery and Teddy Rasmussen.

VARSITY TEAM PROFILESVARSITY TEAM PROFILESHarvard UniversityThe Harvard University men’s water polo team has some new looks, including a head coach and six recruits to the roster. The Crimson will mix old with new this fall while working to improve upon a fi fth-place fi nish at the Northern Division Championship last sea-son, which was one slot better than 2008. The Crimson welcomes new head coach Ted Minnis, as well as two goalkeepers, a center, an attacker, a defender and a utility player, to the team. All six newcom-ers hail from west of the Mississippi River with Minnis and three players coming from California and the other three representing Hawaii, Missouri and Oregon. Harvard graduated four players from last year’s squad that fi nished the season 7-16 overall and 3-3 in con-ference play. Seniors Bret Voith and junior Luka Babic lead a team that returns 12 players from last year. Voith was honored on the All-Northern Division fi rst team and was tabbed to the Northern Divi-sion honor roll along with junior Mike Katzer in 2009. Sophomore Max Eliot earned Northern Division Rookie of the Week honors three times during the 2009 campaign.

Iona CollegeIona College continues to produce championship caliber seasons as the Gaels will look to pick up where they left off last season. The fourth place fi nisher at the Northern Division Championship to qualify for the program’s fourth Eastern Championship appearance in the last fi ve years, Iona concluded the year with its second straight eighth place mark at Easterns. Further, the championship berth marked the fi rst time the Gaels qualifed for the postseason tourna-ment three times in as many years since 1989-1991. Leading the team in 2010 will be tri-captains Matt Joslyn, Trevor Creighton and Seth Tasman. In three years, Tasman has 142 points on 104 goals and 38 assists. Last season, Tasman ranked second on the squad with 50 goals, his highest total in his three years with the Maroon & Gold.

Page 18: UNDERSTANDING THE GAME OF UNDERSTANDING THE GAME …

In his rookie campaign, Creighton had 36 goals for the Gaels, fi fth best on the team. A year ago, Creighton battled through numer-ous injuries and only appeared in nine games for Iona. Further, in 23 games a year ago, Joslyn had 32 points, with 16 goals and assists apiece. His season highlight came in the Eastern Champion-ship when he scored fi ve goals against Fordham University and nine goals in the Championship overall.

Massachusetts Institute of TechnologyFollowing a third place fi nish at the Northern Division Champion-ship and a bid to the CWPA Eastern Championship, the Massachu-setts Institute of Technology Engineers will attempt to take the next steps and move up in their division and the fi nal league champion-ship standings. Leading the charge will be goalie Columbus Leon-ard, Brian Gardiner and John Preis. A 2009 All-Northern Division second team selection between the pipes, Leonard made 224 saves with 216 goals allowed in 16 games a year ago. Due to the gradu-ation of Devin Lewis and Mark Artz, who combined for 90 goals in helping the Engineers reach the CWPA Eastern Championship, the offensive slack will need to be picked up if MIT has a chance to return to the conference championship tournament. Key to the squad’s offense will be top returning scorers Preis and Gardiner. A 2009 All-Conference second team pick, Gardiner fi nished fourth on the team in goals with 22, three behind Preis. In addition, Alex Mattfolk (9 goals) and Matt Perkins (10 goals) could be breakout stars and All-Conference recipients in the Northern Division.

Queens CollegeQueens College enters the 2010 season prepared to contend for a place among the top teams in the Northern Division and Collegiate Water Polo Association standings. Led by head coach Or Gil, the Knights will seek to bring back the days of the program’s 1997 and 2002 Eastern Championship teams with a small and talented roster of athletes. Players to watch include Camilo Bedoya, Srdjan Milic, Algirdas Skuskauskas, Guilherme Cordovil and Jadranko Pocekaj.

Saint Francis CollegeAs Saint Francis College (NY) returns to the Collegiate Water Polo Association and is eligible for post-season play after a one-year hia-tus, head coach Igor Samardzija is eager for his team to meet the challenge of contending for a berth in the NCAA Final Four. Lead-ing the way back to the NCAA tournament are sophomore Marko Gencic (36 goals) and junior Filip Sasic (40 goals), who are expected to pick-up where they left off after standout seasons. Add in the presence of senior goalie Nikola Djuric and junior Aleksandar Pan-tic, and the Terriers have a tough lineup with the addition of any new players. Five student-athletes will join the Terriers in 2010 as Andrew Reed, Bosko Stankovic, Tyler Perkins, Marko Dzigurski and Igor Mladenovic boast speed, power and size to complement the re-turning Saint Francis players who last earned a berth in the Eastern title game during the 2008 season.

SOUTHERN DIVISION, EASTERN REGION

Bucknell UniversityAn experienced group of fi ve seniors. Four consecutive winning sea-sons. Two returning Honorable Mention All-America selections. One of the program’s all-time leading scorers. It’s all about the numbers for the 2010 Bucknell University men’s water polo team. However, the biggest number is 20 - the number of players on the roster. Third-year head coach John Abdou has 12 returning letterwinners, eight of

whom appeared in all 31 games a year ago, at his disposal. Adding in a talented and large eight-person class, he thinks one of the biggest strengths of the squad is its depth. Not only does Abdou have plenty of depth available, he also has plenty of experience with fi ve seniors that have all garnered considerable playing time and the same num-ber of juniors that have also spent plenty of minutes in the pool. In fact, the top fi ve scorers from last year’s edition return, including senior left-handers Richie Hyden and Howie Kalter. Hyden was one of a program-record three Bison to be named Honorable Mention All-America last year, along with classmate Sean Coghlan and 2010 graduate Nick Donahue. A two-time Honorable Mention All-Amer-ica pick, Hyden enters the 2010 campaign four goals, one assist and eight points shy of joining the Bison top-10 career lists in those cat-egories. One of six left-handers on the roster along with Kalter, Paul Reamey, Sam Fiske and freshmen Stephen Norton and Alex Nowlin, Hyden is coming off a year in which he totaled 53 goals, 42 assists and 95 points, posting team highs in both assists and points. Hyden, the 2007 CWPA Southern Division Rookie of the Year, ranks third on Bucknell’s career ejections drawn list with 129. Coghlan also re-turns for his senior campaign. He posted career highs in goals (34), assists (25) and points (59) en route to a Second Team All-CWPA Southern Division selection. Rounding out the list of leading scor-ers was Kalter, who was second on the squad with 82 points in 2009. He led the Bison with 56 goals and dished out 26 assists. Another senior lefty is Reamey. Excellent at coming off the bench, Reamey was fi fth on the team in goals (24) and fourth in points (43). Spen-cer Richley joined Reamey in producing a productive campaign off the bench, registering 27 goals and 14 assists. Nick Barnett, Beau Caillouette, Fiske and Daniel Schwartz comprise the junior class, along with Richley. With three fi eld starters lost to graduation, there are some openings in the lineup for veterans and youngsters. While every other class is at least fi ve players deep, the sophomore contin-gent includes just two - Brian Barron and goalie Matt Napleton. Bar-ron served as the team’s top sprinter in his initial collegiate season, winning better than 50 percent of the time (39-of-73). He netted 19 goals and recorded 14 steals as well. Napleton is one of two goal-ies on the roster along with senior Miles Gilhuly. Like many other players on the Bison roster, Gilhuly has plenty of experience under his belt, having stopped 232 shots in 51 career games, including 24 starts. Napleton saw limited action behind Donahue and Gilhuly as a rookie, but posted a team-best .543 save percentage in more than 86 minutes of play. The Bison hope to have success at the Southern Championship and qualify for the CWPA Eastern Championship for an 11th consecutive year, especially since the NCAA qualifying event will take place at Kinney Natatorium. While Abdou and his veteran club will certainly follow the cliché and take it one game at a time, their ultimate goal is to add another number to their list at the conclusion of the year. That number would be “six”, as in the sixth NCAA berth in program history (and fi rst since 1985).

George Washington UniversityYouth will be served for the George Washington University men’s water polo team in 2010. Senior center Peter Thomas will be the team’s sole upperclassmen as head coach Scott Reed looks to rebuild a squad that lost seven letterwinners following a 9-22 campaign last fall. Despite the young lineup, Reed feels a strong six-player recruit-ing class and the experience of sophomores Cameron Illes, Guy Helman and John Paul Bezerra will aid his team in its quest to move past the CWPA Southern Division Championship and qualify for the program’s seventh Eastern Championship. Defense will be the strength of the team with the return of goalkeeper Cameron Illes and center defender Guy Helman. Illes quickly settled in as the Co-lonials starter in goal, earning CWPA Rookie of the Week honors twice in the fi rst three weeks of the 2009 season. He went on to average more than eight saves and post a .489 save percentage, the third highest mark in program history. Helman not only returns to fi ve-meter defense, but is also GW’s leading returning scorer after totaling 17 goals and 29 assists as a rookie last fall. Thomas will be trusted to have enhanced roles both in the water, where he is the team’s most experienced player with 61 career games played, and in the huddle as elder statesman and remaining connection to the program’s memorable 2007 season in which it fi nished just two wins shy of the NCAA semifi nals with a third place fi nish at the Eastern Championship. Also returning are sophomore attackers Bezerra, German Olano and Mike Mazzara, all of whom will need to step up their contributions on the offensive end for GW to be successful in 2010. Bezerra garnered the most experience of the trio last season, fi nishing with 16 goals and 16 assists in 31 games as a rookie. Sopho-more Manuel Iglesias joins the Colonials’ attack after sitting out his fi rst year at GW following a scholastic playing career at heralded Gulliver Prep in southern Florida. Backing up Illes in goal will be sophomore Sean Joyce, who posted 12 saves in 11 quarters played in 2009. Reed will rely heavily on this season’s freshmen, stating that will be the foundation for the Colonials’ success. Leading the class are National Letter of Intent signees Paul Deasey, Nate Little, Dan-iel Tyner and Jason Veris. Deasey, who totaled a school record 329 goals during his scholastic career at The Haverford School in eastern Pennsylvania, will help bolster the attack, while Veris will team with Thomas at center. Little and Tyner, a pair of First Team All-CIF South performers, will share time at utility. Rounding out the list of rookies are attackers Luke Carrino and Gregg Knapp.

Johns Hopkins UniversityThe 2010 season will be one of rebuilding for the Johns Hopkins’ University squad. The Blue Jays graduated one of the most decorat-ed classes in school history which consisted of eight talented seniors that included fi ve starters and two-time All-America pick Kyle Ger-tridge. The 2010 Jays have some big shoes to fi ll. The 2009 seniors led Hopkins to three Division III Eastern Championship titles, 65 wins and a No. 1 ranking in 2008, which they held for eight straight weeks. The Jays’ fouth place fi nish at the CWPA Eastern Champion-ship was a program best in 2009 and JHU will look to build on that. To help in doing this two starters return in All-America goalie Jer-emy Selbst and Southern Rookie of the Year and fellow All-America honoree Alex Whittam. Selbst started all but two games in goal for Johns Hopkins this season and fi nished the season ranked fourth in the nation, among all divisions, in saves with 289. Whittam had a breakout season in his rookie campaign with the Blue Jays, scoring 52 goals and adding 25 assists for 77 points. Seniors John Barrett, Michael DeLyon along with Selbst will captain this year’s squad. A former Rookie of the Year, junior Mark Strickland should aid with the offensive chores. Sophomores Ross Schofi eld and Kielan Crow should also contribute to the Blue Jay effort. Incoming freshmen Steven Kingery, Wes Heeter, Thomas DeLyon and Chance Fowler should add important minutes to each game. The young Blue Jays hope to develop enough chemistry to appear in a program-record fi fth straight Eastern Championship.

Princeton UniversityPrinceton University enters 2010 looking to build off one of the best seasons in program history as the Tigers won their second CWPA Eastern Championship title and advanced to the NCAA Champion-ship for the third time in program history. Serving as host for the NCAA Championship, Princeton won the team’s fi rst-ever NCAA tournament game, taking the third-place contest from Loyola Mary-mount University. As 11 players return from that squad, including honorable mention All-America selection Matt Hale and former All-Southern and All-Eastern goalkeeper Mike Merlone, Princeton will have to replace a good portion of its scoring in 2010. The Tigers lost six of their top eight scorers to graduation and rising sophomore Tim Wenzlau led all returning players with 22 goals scored a season ago. Princeton’s defense looks to be solid with Merlone, owner of two of the program’s top fi ve single season save totals, and Hale playing cen-ter defense with a team-high 36 steals and six fi eld blocks last season.

United States Naval AcademyFollowing a 2009 season in which the United States Naval Academy water polo team won 22 games and advanced to the program’s fi fth straight CWPA Eastern Championship title game, head coach Mike Schofi eld is looking for more, specifi cally a return trip to the NCAA Tournament. But a challenging game schedule fi lled with the most-balanced CWPA season in recent memory awaits the Midshipmen. If Navy’s young players continue their improvement and the upper-classmen take control with their leadership, Navy will be in the hunt for its 10th Eastern title once again. The Mids return three starters from last year’s team, including senior All-America selection Luke Baldwin (28 goals, 23 assists) and the team’s second-leading scorer in Stevie Ray (53 goals, 20 assists). The Mids must fi nd a replacement for graduated All-America goalkeeper Brett Rajchel (199 saves in 2009). If Schofi eld can fi nd some additional scoring from a strong sophomore class, the Mids could return to the NCAA Tournament for the 15th time in school history.

SOUTHERN DIVISION, WESTERN REGION

Gannon UniversityGannon University concluded its third consecutive winning season with a 13-12 record in 2009. The Golden Knights fi nished sixth at the CWPA Southern Division Championship, defeating rival Mer-cyhurst 16-8 to reach the fi fth-place match. Gannon will need to replace top scorer John Krakowski, who found the back of the net 49 times last season. Senior Greg Naranjo, who scored 45 goals a year ago, is the team’s top returning scorer. Protecting the net again this year will be sophomore Neal Zoellick, who in 25 matches last season recorded 186 saves and already ranks fourth all-time in career stops. Senior Stephen Espinet returns after posting 42 assists during 2009, the fi fth most in single-season history. New faces in the pool for Gannon will be Daisuke Takagi and Gio Martino, who could both make an immediate impact.

Mercyhurst CollegeThe Mercyhurst College men’s water polo team enters the 2010 sea-son with hopes of repeating the success it has experienced over the past several seasons. Since 2006, head coach Curtis Robinette has guided the Lakers to four straight winning seasons, three consecutive region titles and three Division II Eastern Championship crowns. As the majority of the roster returns from a team that posted a 13-6 mark in 2009, the 2010 rendition of the Lakers plans to continue that success. Robinette will look to his All-America picks to lead the team, with Alex Moggridge, Kane Ashton and Andy Sekulski all returning for their senior seasons. Moggridge has played a key role in the offense since arriving in Erie three years ago, ranking in the top-three in both goals and points. Ashton emerged as a playmaker for Robinette last season, scoring 40 goals and dishing out 30 assists.

Sekulski, meanwhile, has anchored the defense since being named the starting goalkeeper as a freshman, posting 150-plus saves each season. Second-year players Ian Tasman and William Page return af-ter having breakout rookie campaigns. Tasman led the team in steals, taking the ball away 69 times, while Page posted the fourth most points on the team, tallying 57 for the year. In addition to the vet-erans, Robinette will have a talented freshmen class at his disposal. 14 players will make their debuts for the team this season, including newcomers Danilo Svorcan and Raul Ariza.

Pennsylvania State University-Erie, Th e Behrend CollegePenn State-Behrend College returns three top goal scorers from last season along with the addition of nine newcomers. The Lions are coming off a fourth-place fi nish at the Division III Eastern Cham-pionship and look to keep their competitive edge this season with a diverse group of men from fi ve different states. Ali Khan, Colin McGarry and Nick Loukides combined for 116 goals out of 171 scored in 2009. Khan, who played in every game, led the team with 54 goals while adding 35 drawn kickouts and 31 steals. McGarry returns after earning All-America honorable mention and Division III Eastern Championship All-Tournament Team accolades as a freshman. He made his mark last season with 39 goals and 28 as-sists. McGarry also led the squad with 41 steals, while playing in 22 contests Loukides ranked third on the team with 23 goals, but was fi rst in assists with 35. He was one of three players to compete in every game. This season, the sophomore will join lone senior Chris Dunleavy in the leadership role as captain. Dunleavy contributed eight goals and seven assists last year. At the utility spot, freshman Sam Hyrne comes to Behrend after a successful high school career. The three-time high school All-League and Most Valuable Player will have a defi nite impact this season and contend for playing time right away. The same applies to newcomer Brian Shapter. The fi rst-year goalie will replace Jacob Bernstein in between the pipes. Shap-ter was an All-State selection and captain at McDowell High School. Two newcomers on the squad are no strangers to Behrend but are fresh faces on the water polo team. Jake DesRoches and Eric Pierce are members of the Lions swimming and diving team. The two add depth and experience to the roster, as well as returning sophomore Andrew Opalewiski. Opalewski tallied seven goals on 15 shots in his fi rst year of collegiate competition. Head coach Joe Tristan will also rely on the talents of freshmen Nick Pabich, Brandon Horsch and Max Hrbal.

Salem International UniversitySalem International University looks forward to the 2010 season as the Tigers hope to move up the Southern Division rankings and earn a spot in the Eastern Championship.

Washington & Jeff erson CollegeCoach Greg Jones will guide the Washington & Jefferson College men’s program for the fi rst time this fall. Jones was hired in Decem-ber 2009 and guided the Presidents’ women to 10 victories. Jones inherits a squad which has seven returners from the 2009 squad, including junior Andy Rish who served as one of the team’s lead-ing scorers. Senior Bill Krause and sophomore Joey Weiland will also add punch to the Presidents’ offense which must replace the 51 goals scored a year ago by Steve Hilty who graduated. Sophomores Cameron Chaves and Mike Johnson are also talented scorers who will be asked to increase their production in 2010. John Todd served as the team’s starting goalie for the past three seasons and ranked among the nation’s save leaders; however, the Presidents will see a battle in the between freshmen Dan Francisco and Carlos Padron to start in between the pipes.

Duke UniversityThe 2010 Duke Blue Devils are among the youngest squads in recent memory. Despite losing seniors Charlie Neiman and Alex Fankuchen, the team plans to work hard toward another successful campaign this season. In doing so, Duke will rely on the leadership of a co-captain trio that includes juniors Vinayak Nikam and Brad Lightcap, and senior Zach Sheinman. The team will also look to veteran goalie Felipe Mejia for support in the cage. The Blue Devils will base their strength around speed and aggressive defense. Trent Going and Jack Archer should both fi t this style well, providing a strong defensive edge and a constant offensive threat. In addition, expect Jonathan Ho, Mike Fritz, Tim Carlon and Garret Ruhland to contribute on both ends of the pool.

Georgetown UniversityGeorgetown will continue to be one of the teams to beat in the divi-sion this year as the Hoyas will seek to avenge an upset loss in the Atlantic Division championship tournament a year ago. The 2009 Atlantic Division regular season champion, Georgetown suffered a heart-breaking 6-5 defeat at the hands of Virginia Tech in the divi-sion title game to barely miss out on the squad’s fi rst berth to the National Collegiate Club Championship since the 2005 season. This year, the Hoyas are ready to rattle some cages and make a trip to Southern Utah University for a shot at the National Collegiate Club Championship.

James Madison UniversityFollowing the loss of several players to graduation, James Madison is looking for its returning veterans to form the basis of the squad’s core in 2010. Dan Kaun returns to tend the nets once again and will be supported by Chris Ashley, who comes back to anchor the JMU defense. Ashley was selected to the All-Conference team last season and will need to contribute on the offensive end as well if the Dukes are to remain competitive. Primary offensive threats include Chad Eskridge, who comes into the 2010 season for his fi nal year, along with Kurt Clauss and Doug Newton, both of whom have made huge improvements in the last couple years to becomes talented outside shooters. After fi nishing in fi fth place as a result of a tough loss to North Carolina in their fi nal game, the Dukes hope to place among the top three programs in the division. To do so they are going to rely heavily on their experienced juniors and seniors, along with a few very talented younger players.

Loyola University (Md.)Under the direction of returning coach Lauren Brug, Loyola comes into this season on a positive note. Although the squad lost fi ve seniors, Loyola has a strong group of returning players and a slew of new prospects ready to make the mark and advance the program to the National Collegiate Club Championship. As the club contin-ues to grow, and having gained experience last season, the program seeks a competitive season. Led by seniors Josh Barnes, Michele Deitz, Marykate Flaherty and Alex Lavoie, the team brings the quali-ties of hard work, dedication, a competitive nature, excitement and enjoyment of the game to the pool.

ATLANTIC DIVISION

North Carolina State UniversityNorth Carolina State will seek to improve on last year’s seventh place fi nish in the Atlantic Division with a mix of experience and youth. Due to a strong pipeline of talent, the Wolfpack will seek to return to the division title game for the fi rst time since the 2003 season.

Saint Mary’s College (Md.)Saint Mary’s comes into the season looking to expand and improve on the program’s success during the previous years. The return of four seniors will make a signifi cant difference in the team’s depth and ability to overcome the division’s upper-echelon teams. Chris Sakowski, Gabe Grace, Kalvin Day and Matt Cross spent the spring semester abroad to study and play polo in Australia and should bring new skills back with them this fall. In addition, seniors Ben Garbart and Alex Michelson will aid the roster in the squad’s quest for their fi rst berth to the National Collegiate Club Championship. Garbart rose as a leader on the team last year with the absence of his class-mates in Australia, and Michelson should provide additional com-petitiveness. Other contributors include sophomores Ian Sharpe and Darren Leu, along with junior Easton Gallant and sophomore Gabe Weinstein, to give the team added depth.

University of MarylandMaryland seeks to become the sixth program in the history of the Atlantic Division to capture the title and advance to the National Collegiate Club Championship. The Terrapins fi nished eighth in the division a year ago, a mark which the team hopes to improve upon in 2010.

University of North CarolinaNorth Carolina had a strong season in 2009 and looks to improve on the mark in 2010. With additional experience, the core of the team looks to lead UNC to win its fi rst Atlantic Division title since 2004.

Page 22: UNDERSTANDING THE GAME OF UNDERSTANDING THE GAME …

University of VirginiaAfter fi nishing sixth in the Atlantic Division last season with a young squad, Virginia’s maturity and growth will lead to strong results in di-vision play. In the wake of graduating a small number of players, the Wahoos have a solid group of athletes with experience playing to-gether who are ready to take the next step and return to the National Collegiate Club Championship for the fi rst time since the 2003 sea-son. Thanks to a strong infl ux of promising new players, the outlook is bright for the team. Returning goalie Tommy Heckelman dispalyed great potential in a preseason tournament in Tennessee and will be a valuable asset to the program’s title chances. Experienced starters Dan Sunday and Mike DiGruccio provide a strong two-meter threat, while Jacob Stock and Peter Schaadt will aid the offense with active perimeter work and shooting threats. In addition, another key to Virginia’s quest for the division and national crowns is the diversity that Will Fehringer brings to the table as he is capable of playing multiple positions and shutting down other team’s best shooters.

Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State UniversityThe only program in division history to advance to the Atlantic title game four consecutive seasons (2006-09), Virginia Tech comes into the 2010 season with the ultimate goal of returning to Nationals by winning the Atlantic Division Championship for the fourth time in fi ve years. The loss of senior captain Joe Dorsch and two-meter defender Kevin Shaffer will force the Hokies to focus on replacing the leadership and talents the duo provided the squad during the past four seasons. To offset these gaps, a renewed effort on condi-tioning should bring more speed to Virginia Tech’s game and better fourth quarter results. After placing 12th at the 2009 National Col-legiate Club Championship at the University of Florida, the Hokies are putting their focus on having another strong season and hopes of a higher placing on the national stage.

BIG TEN DIVISION

Indiana UniversityIndiana looks to improve upon the program’s sixth place fi nish at the Big Ten Division Championship with the help of Will Rigali and goalie Kevin Smith. Other key returning players are sophomore Mark Ryden and senior Tommy Hollo, both of whom received 2009 All-Conference awards. The Hoosiers will also depend upon se-nior Jake Smither and junior Bobby Rickert to be major contributors on the offensive end at two-meters. Coupled with more speed and depth than they have had in the past, Indiana should be a stronger opponent within the division in 2010.

Michigan State UniversityMichigan State enters the 2010 season after placing fourth at the 2009 Men’s National Collegiate Club Championship hosted by the University of Florida. The Spartans return every key player and look to build upon their fi nish from last year to claim the program’s fourth national title. MSU will be led by senior captain Nick Talaski and junior captain Jake Marsh who seek to help the Spartans claim their third title in the last fi ve years. Key additions for the 2000, 2006 and 2008 National Champions include goalie Robert Spiegal and driver Mike Scarcelli who look to strengthen the defensive and offensive ends, respectively. With a core of veteran upperclassmen, Michigan State is ready to claim the Big Ten Division title once again and return to the National Collegiate Club Championship game.

Northwestern UniversityEntering the institution’s fi rst season in the Collegiate Water Polo Association, Northwestern is seeking to improve on an outstanding showing during their independent schedule last year. Returning all of their starters, the squad expects to gain some fresh talent to add depth to their already deep roster. On the cusp of their second sea-son behind coach Gerrit Adams, the program should surprise some teams in the division.

Purdue UniversityPurdue returns to the season with high hopes after multiple large recruiting classes over the past few years. With six returning starters the team hopes to end their streak of third and fourth place fi n-ishes in the Big Ten with a jump to the title game. The Boilermak-ers are anticipating great things from returning Co-Most Valuable Players Mike Nickels and Nick Manusos, while goalie Jimmy Palac should lock down the defensive end after a dominating year in net. Purdue is a well balanced team with multiple two-meter sets and numerous outside shooters. Returning talent includes Jack Shehan, Danny LeJeune, Nate Todd and Dan O’Connell, all of whom will see considerable playing time during the course of the season. Due to Purdue’s talent and returning experience, the Boileramkers pos-sesses a solid chance to fi nish in the championship game and make a run at the National Collegiate Club Championship.

University of IllinoisThe Fighting Illini’s upcoming season once again appears promising as Illinois will fi eld a talented team that shall seek to improve on last year’s third place fi nish in the Big Ten Division.

University of IowaIowa enters the 2010 season with new life and hope as the Hawk-eyes open a brand new, state of the art facility. This season of-fers one of the best recruiting classes in recent history adding high school All-Conference players Chris Workman and Michael McPartlin along with Sam Cleary. Goalie Max Malec will serve as the last line of defense, while sophomores Matt Johnson and Robbie LeBeau are expected to be two of the team’s top scor-ers and the key to Iowa’s Big Ten Division title hopes. The addi-tion of the incoming freshmen and the program’s returning talent will undoubtedly improve the team’s chances of placing higher than last season’s seventh place mark in the Big Ten Division.

University of MichiganComing off a second straight runner-up fi nish in the Big Ten Divi-sion, Michigan is looking to make a run at Nationals in 2010. The Wolverines return fi ve starters from the 2009 squad that fi nished the season ranked No. 13 in the nation and will be led by their captains, senior Nick Mansfi eld, who led the team in scoring with 50 goals in 2009, and junior Levi Barry. Junior Matt Woelfel, and fi rst-year graduate student Chris Buck should also factor as contributors for the squad, as the team looks to increase their offensive output in 2010. Under new head coach Ron Marsh, the Blue and Gold will put an emphasis on creating defensive turnovers and converting 6-on-5 opportunities into goals. Aided by sophomore goalie Ray Vi-viano and playmaking junior Kenichi Osawa, Michigan should have no problem playing Marsh’s brand of water polo in their quest for their fi rst Big Ten title since 2004. With a strong bench and a large, talented incoming freshman class, the Wolverines boast one of the deepest teams in the Big Ten and the one of the institution’s most promising squads in years. University of WisconsinFollowing sixth and fi fth place fi nishes in the Big Ten the past two years, Wisconsin will use the 2010 season to continue the Badgers’ march to the top of the division standings and a potential berth at the National Collegiate Club Championship.

FLORIDA DIVISION

Florida International UniversityFlorida International is coming off the best season in program history as the team went undefeated in the Florida Division and advanced to the National Collegiate Club title game at the Univer-sity of Florida. The Golden Panthers, who fell to the University of California-Los Angeles in the National Championship game by two goals, are seeking a return to the title tilt in 2010. For FIU to repeat the program’s breakout season, the squad will need to fi ll the signifi -cant offensive gap left by the loss of leading scorer Chris Arias, who garnered All-America, division Most Valuable Player and National Collegiate Club All-Tournament honors. However, although Arias will not be in the water, his presence and knowledge of the game will assist the Golden Panthers as he joins team’s coaching staff. Three-time Florida Division Player of the Week and All-Conference First Team selection Alex Lipin, who led the team in assists and steals a year ago, is expected to pick up the offensive slack. Fellow All-Con-ference selections Chase Vaughan, Mario Mora, Andy Alvarez and Theo Jenetopolous will also play critical roles in the team’s quest for another division crown. Other key returning players include JD Garcia, Alex Sergov and Victor Gonzalez. New talent expected to contribute includes Blake Johnson and Kevin Newcomb.

Florida State UniversityThe Seminoles of Florida State will be without three players from the 2009 squad as the team lost a starter, in addition to Brian Gr-ube and Wiley Geren going down with shoulder injuries. Grube will offset some of the loss by coaching the squad this year as FSU re-turns 14 seniors and juniors. A strong freshman class will bolster an already potent lineup of speed and fi nesse. The group may be the among the fastest the Seminoles have fi elded in recent memory, with four players capable of swimming the 50 Freestyle in less than 23 seconds. Due to the program’s depth, experience and speed, watch for the Seminoles to have a chance to improve on last year’s fourth place mark in the division and make a run at the Florida Division title.

University of Central FloridaThe 2010 season looks to be a promising year for Central Florida on the heels of a third place fi nish at the 2009 Florida Division Cham-pionship tournament. A young team which could challenge for the division’s title, the Knights continue to bring in talent with their eyes on establishing winning as a tradition at UCF.

University of Florida “A”Florida comes into the season in a rebuilding mode after hosting the 2009 National Collegiate Club Championship and fi nishing 13th at the championship. The runner-up in the Florida Division behind Florida International University and a fi ve-time division champion (2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2008), the Gators lost several key players to graduation. However, the Orange and Blue’s title hopes will not dim in the new year as returning players Justin Oakes, Eisa Al Nashmi, James Madison, Jason Mammino, Steven Brown, Kunal Patel and Matt Sheehan will make up the difference and look to lead the team to the program’s sixth division crown. The talents of Eric Ho, a Florida State University transfer, along with All-America goalie Tra-vis Catron will also be needed for the team to reach the postseason. Leading the squad from the bench will be fi rst-year head coach Eisa Al Nashmi.

University of Florida “B”Profi le not available

University of Miami (Fla.)The Miami Hurricanes are looking forward to building upon last year’s strong class of freshmen including Juan Lopez and now club president Anthony Kanelidis. The duo are joined by a bevy of vet-eran players, such as seniors Ian Dixon, Ryan Freedman, and junior Jose Mora who are ready to power the Hurricanes to the top of the division. This year’s team can be characterized by many nations coming together to play as American, Cuban, Uruguayan, Colom-bian, Venezuelan, Australian and many nationalities mesh to create a team with one goal: the Florida Division title. Experienced and new players are expected to step up and fi ll spots in the Canes’ line-up, while Coach Jimena Lopez will oversee Miami’s hunt for the division title in only the program’s fi fth year in the league.

GREAT LAKES DIVISION

Ball State UniversityFollowing a 4-7 mark in three tournaments last year as the program placed sixth in the Great Lakes Division, Ball State returns with a strong group of new and experienced players prepared to do what it takes to take the next step in the program’s development.

Grand Valley State UniversityGrand Valley State experienced an event which the Lakers had not gone through before - a loss in the Great Lakes Division title game. Fresh off an 11-8 defeat at the hands of the University of Illinois-Chicago in the 2009 title tilt, the Lakers have two things on their minds coming into 2010: regaining the division crown to earn a berth to the National Collegiate Club Championship and taking the national title for the fi rst time since the 2005 season. No stranger to the national stage as the consistently nationally-ranked Lakers cap-tured the division title from 2002-08, Grand Valley will rely on the experience of Peter Huyser, Josh Ensing, Carlo Chacon, Ryan Kraai and Nathan Kraai, along with head coach Josh Ahrendt to return to the top of the collegiate club ranks.

Loyola University (Ill.)Loyola will seek to shock the world and capture the Great Lakes Division title in the program’s fi rst year in the Collegiate Water Polo Association.

Ohio UniversityOhio University looks to have a strong season this year. Although top scorer Steve Leow left via graduation, returning All-Conference players Peter Zien and Brandon Crawford will lead the program to new heights. Led by Tim Jennings, Zien and Mark Poskarbiewicz, the Bobcats’ defense is as strong as ever and will be crucial in aid-ing the team to improve on last year’s third place fi nish in the Great Lakes Division. On offense, Aaron Wheatley will key the scoring attack along with help from new starters John Ubbing, Kyle Ryan and Johnny Maykut. The recruiting class, led by Clay Matthew and Sertec Ozerca, will also have a signifi cant impact on the success of the team.

University of DaytonDayton is optimistic about the 2010 season and with good reason. Big men Brandon Salas and Evan Rugiero return to dominate the center position, while veterans Matt O’Brien, Dave Allison and Joey Martin should be able to use their experience to add stability to this young team. Coach Brendan Blume hopes to fi nish in the top three in the Great Lakes Division and will rely in part on the shooting skills of Ben Beachler and the speed of Aaron Zaggy to round out the key players. The Flyers are expected to play a fast tempo style and should be strong contenders within the division. University of Illinois-ChicagoIllinois-Chicago returns all but one player from last year’s strong crew giving the team an edge over previous seasons. Following a record-setting 2009 season in which the Flames earned a berth to the National Collegiate Club Championship by snapping a seven-year division title run by Grand Valley State University, the program will rededicate itself to place higher at the close of the season and improve on last year’s 15th place mark at Nationals. Relying on its wealth of experience to contend in the conference and a solid group of newcomers to bolster a deep lineup, Illinois-Chicago is prepared to defend its’ division title and take another shot at taking the Na-tional Championship.

University of Notre DameNotre Dame will start the season with a strong team as nine of the Fighting Irish’s top 12 players from a year ago return. Little depth was lost from the bench, as the program’s incoming freshmen should only strenghten an already powerful roster. The graduation of Luke DePasquale, Alex Wheeler and Billy Bauman could hinder the Irish offense. The gaps left by this trio will be fi lled by junior captain Dan Geisman, the primary two-meter set, and senior Matt Fordonski, a team captain and powerful shooter. Look for sopho-mores Chris Jennis and Jon Hancher to see more playing time in the fi eld. Sophomore captain and goalie Tate Kernell will also factor in the Gold and Blue’s title hopes as Notre Dame will have a chance to win the division.

GREAT PLAINS DIVISION

Illinois State UniversityIllinois State comes into the 2010 season looking forward to new challenges in its fi rst year in the Great Plains Division. Keyed

by returning starters Mitch Tucker, Brian Nathe, Mike Lipinski, Zack Sejna, David Kuchta and Mike Byron, the Redbirds seek to qualify for the National Collegiate Club Championship for the fi rst time in school history. In order to accomplish this, Illinois State will have to rely on its tremendous depth in the form of returning play-ers Joe Armour, Sam Musser, Ethan Matthews, Ryan Forner, Sean Graw, Kevin Kledzik, Nick Lauf, Andrew Gooding, Mike Black-wood and Gabriel Seda. The Redbirds will also rely on newcomers Kevin Sullivan, Tim Sullivan and Pat Kraulis to provide more talent to an already deep team. Much of ISU’s hopes for success will rest on the shoulders of rookie goaltenders Marty Kennedy and Ben Schaufele.

Iowa State UniversityIowa State comes into this season in a rebuilding mode due to the loss of several senior players. However, the Cyclones’ short-range future appears extremely promising thanks to the recruitment of multiple fresh and experienced players. Strong performances from team leaders Jake Gazlay, Kennard Lai, Chad Holy and Scott Caroll will be needed to help guide ISU to success. Newly acquired lefty Patrick Finley, Nick Eddy and Sean Murphy appear ready to take the Great Plains Division by storm. The team appears solid at the two-meters position, a defi nite plus in the wake of losing senior goalie Christopher Moss. A much stronger, larger and experienced bench will be counted on to keep Iowa State competitive this season.

Kansas State UniversityAmong a slate of third-year programs in the Collegiate Water Polo Association, Kansas State intends to shock the division and make a run at the title.

University of KansasOn the heels of a sixth place fi nish in the Great Plains Division during the 2009 season, Kansas will strive to move into the upper echelon of the division’s teams.

University of MinnesotaThe “Drive for Five” will be in full-force this year as Minnesota comes into the season looking to continue its strong run in Great Plains Division play and win the program’s fi fth championship in a row. In light of losing All-Conference selections Cyrus Jamnejad and goalkeeper Matthew Dahlberg, the Gophers will look toward returning All-Conference players Drew Wojack, Jake Wollensak and David Brajkovic for leadership and to repeat their 2009 perfor-mances. Along with the returning players, the freshman class should chip in additional depth and speed to an already explosive roster.

University of NebraskaNebraska returned to the Collegiate Water Polo Association after a brief absence from competition last year and made an immediate impact. Following a second place mark in the division a year ago, the Cornhuskers are excited for the 2010 season. Former player Drew Trembly returns to coach the team in an effort to help the ‘Husk-ers end the University of Minnesota’s four-year grip on the division title. To take the title, Trembly will rely on returning players to step up on offense and cover the loss of several players to graduation. Expected to carry the load will be Eric Wright at two-meters, with Sam Shamburek and Stephanie Weisbecker anchoring the team from the outside. Goalie Jeff Lopez provides stability to the defense as Nebraska will be in the hunt once again this season.

HEARTLAND DIVISION

Augustana CollegeAugustana enters its fi rst season of play in the Collegiate Water Polo Association with hopes of fi nishing among the division’s top teams and initiating a legacy of water polo success at the college.

Carleton CollegeCarleton is back in force this season, eager to improve upon the Knights’ fi fth place fi nish last fall. Senior captains Brendan Cassidy and Hannah Nerenhausen return to offer their leadership and skill in the water while splitting time at goalie. Sophomore Ben Southgate will bolster the offense following a standout fi rst season. Look out for a strong debut from crafty junior Ben Cerjan, as well as support from the Carleton women’s team to strengthen an already mature roster.

Grinnell CollegeFollowing a second place fi nish in the Heartland Division, Grinnell enters the regular season excited to make another run at the title and a berth in the Division III National Collegiate Club Championship tournament. Although fi ve of the Wild Turkeys’ starters are not returning in 2010, new talent will fi ll the empty slots. Captains and returning starters Sinan Ozer and Sam Sherwood join Cyrus Mistry as offensive perimeter threats, while Beck Ringdahl-Mayland, Tom Lankiewicz and Chris Hwang are expected to defend the cage on the defensive end of the tank.

Knox CollegeIn the wake of graduating only four seniors last year, Knox enters this season with a strong team and high hopes. An experienced lot, the Prairie Fire possess the potential for improvement throughout the season. Led by Kelley O’Connor and Anne Heberle, the team will work to improve on last year’s performance and will undoubt-edly be strong contenders in the division. Jeff Wickman, Katherine Miller, Alan Ning and Sarah MacDowell provide Knox with skill, intensity and experience, while younger members Tom Clark, Anna Claypool and Alex Jandernoa are expected to make key offensive and defensive contributions.

Macalester CollegeMacalester comes into the season with a large number of players returning from the 2009 roster. Senior captain, All-Conference and All-America selection Jeff Yamashita, a sharpshooter and playmaker over the past several season, is slated to lead the squad in scoring. Several other Macalester seniors including Nathan Young, Bren-nan Panzarella, Louis Baggetto and Vasa Trubetskoy will help form the core of the Scots’ roster. Key undeclassmen expected to lead the counter attack transition for the Scots include Paolo Venneri and Kai Cowger, while junior Jason Pagac will be an asset on both sides of the pool. Thanks to the addition of several new players, the squad can exploit additional speed and depth which should aid them in landing a strong fi nish in the Heartland Division and improve on last season’s fourth place mark. In addition to the division title hunt, the school will host the 2010 Division III National Collegiate Club Championship.

Monmouth CollegeThe Monmouth Fighting Scots, also known by their nickname the Crab People, have a bitter taste in their mouth after losing their only game of last year’s season in the Division III National Collegiate Club Championship game, placing second behind the Jumbos of Tufts University. This year, Monmouth looks to win it all and give the team its third consecutive Heartland Division title plaque. Af-ter losing a strong senior class, the team is still loaded with talent. Coached by Steve Collins, the 2009 Division III Men’s Coach of the Year, the Scots return fi ve of last year’s six starters including All-America and All-Conference goalkeeper Frank Wasielewski. Led by captains Tom Pedersen and Josh Dunn, Monmouth will seek to become the fi rst team in Heartland Division history to claim three-consecutive titles. An All-America second team and All-Conference fi rst team pick, Pedersen is matched only by his fellow captain Dunn who garnered Division III National Collegiate Club Championship All-Tournament and All-Conference second team honors. Lefty starter Jeff Skalon will give defenses a run for their money, sniping shots from the perimeter, while junior starters Andrew Wright and Joseph Testolin will play vital roles as the team’s main utility players. Junior twin brothers Ken and Steve Collins return for another run at a title following a year off due to injuries. Junior Rachel Holm will look to bring her intensity and experience to the team, while sopho-mores Brian Woulfe and James Corbeil provide the program with depth and experience. Monmouth will also bring in a very talented freshman squad with players Gabe Baginski, Brett Dunn, Tony Ma-rino, Chris Falkenrath, Matthew Hopkins, Devin Barcroft and Zach-ary Heilman expected to fi ll in to aid the cause.

Saint John’s University (Minn.)This season, Saint John’s is experiencing major changes as the team’s bench will be graced with a full time coach. Br. Dan Morgan, OSB. With a presence outside of the pool, the team is experiencing a new structure and energy to the practices that will show in the upcom-ing games. Due to the loss of four-year All-America pick Clarence Manuel to graduation, SJU will turn to Mark Solinger, a second team All-Conference recipient, and captain Mike Kelash to lead the team on offense. Goalie Chase Miller plans to shut down the opposition and lead the conference in blocks. In the water, maestro and team captain John Michael Sarabia will guide the Johnnies as the team is looking for a top fi nish in the Heartland Division.

Saint Mary’s University (Minn.)Saint Mary’s begins the new season with greater expectations and higher hopes than ever before in program history. An experienced team, the Cardinals fi nished seventh during the regular season and

improved its fi nal position by knocking off Knox College at the Heartland Division Championship tournament to fi nish the year.

MID-ATLANTIC DIVISION

Bloomsburg UniversityFollowing the loss of several key players to graduation, the Huskies of Bloomsburg will be looking to develop their younger talent and build depth as a team. Returning seniors David Mancinelli, Emily Stiles, Andrew Osipower, Adam Rupert and Shaun Ulmer are ex-pected to make signifi cant contributions on both ends of the pool. The core group will be supported by several experienced teammates with enough talent to surprise some opponents. The Huskies will be hoping to fi nish strong and remain competitive with the other teams in the division.

Carnegie Mellon UniversityAfter splitting with the women’s team following the 2009 campaign, the Carnegie Mellon men look to take their growth to a new level. Last season the Tartans seemed to improve with each tournament. As a number of new freshmen and most of their upperclassmen return, the team hopes to make a real impact in the Mid-Atlantic Division.

Drexel UniversityComing off an impressive third season of league play in which the Dragons placed third in the Mid-Atlantic Division East Region, Drexel is anticipating even better results this fall. The program has experienced a surge in its competitive talent which sets the stage for a dramatic conclusion to the 2010 season.

Franklin & Marshall CollegeAmong a group of second-year programs in the Collegiate Water Polo Association, the Franklin & Marshall water polo team has caught polo fever in the wake of the Diplomats’ fi rst season of intercollegiate competition. Following a seventh place mark in the Mid-Atlantic Division East Region, a slew of veteran players and explosive student-athletes will take to the pool for the Dips with the possibility of qualifying for the National Collegiate Club or Division III National Collegiate Club Championships.

Gettysburg CollegeThe newcomer in the Mid-Atlantic Division, Gettysburg enters its fi rst year of intercollegiate play with no expectations, but high hopes of fi nishing among the division’s elite teams by season’s end. Grove City CollegeAfter placing eighth at the 2009 Division III National Collegiate Club Championship tournament, Grove City hopes to continue to improve after losing only two seniors from last year’s team.

Team captains Dan Wells and Bennett Keefer will work to keep GC’s level of play high. By relying on suffocating defense from se-nior Matt Armstrong and juniors Collin Foster and Clay Beckner, as well as timely scoring by junior Ben Bowser and sophomores Dave Dombrowski and Seth Brooks, Grove City looks to earn a return trip to the DIII National tournament.

La Salle UniversityLa Salle enters its second season of league play following an eighth place fi nish in the Mid-Atlantic East Region. Similar to last year, the Explorers are looking forward to a successful season and continued team improvement. Past experience should help La Salle immensely as the club moves forward in 2010. Despite the graduation of several important players, a strong recruiting drive among the freshman class has seen the team’s roster increase. The team is led by a pair of returning players: leading scorer Ben Fallon and netminder Kyle Manning. Fellow returning con-tributors Zak Bearint, Rich Crean and Max Yamada will step up and form the backbone of the team with Fallon and Manning.

Lehigh UniversityLehigh had a winning season in 2009 and appears to be a strong competitor again this year despite the loss of a number of infl uen-tial players, including former captains Elizabeth Defeo and Michael Fedorka. Junior and rookie captain James Malone will continue the team’s success with the help of two talented sophomores, top goal scorer Carter Lathrop and goalie Keith Morse. Adding experience to the Mountain Hawks are returning veterans juniors Dave Begley, Akshay Gupta, Tim Hilty and Justin Nice, each one a valuable asset at both ends of the pool. With a solid freshman class, Lehigh looks to be a force to be reckoned with this season and hopes to be a top contender in the Mid-Atlantic Division.

Millersville UniversityMillersville hopes to rebound this year on the heels of a fourth place fi nish in the Eastern Region by combining several new players with the experience of veterans. After notching a fi fth place fi nish at the 2009 Mid-Atlantic Division Championship, the Marauders look to improve in the standings this year by moving into the top four. To fi ll the departure of several key seniors, the team is count-ing on young players such as Eddie Kirk, Evan Kocon and August Haeuser to fi ll the gaps. With the expertise of seniors Josh Harter and Fred Darling, the Marauders are hoping that the freshmen can learn quickly and fi t into the lineup. Goalkeeping is going to be one of Millersville’s strong points this season. With sophomore goalie Mike Fisher returning between the pipes, the Marauders are looking to support him with offense to maintain a winning record. Look for more players to see time this year due to greater numbers and an increased level of talent. Under the leadership of captains Kocon and Haeuser, the team should be a threat in the division this season.

Pennsylvania State UniversityThe reigning division champion, Penn State plans to remain the top team in their division and make another appearance at the National Collegiate Club Championship where they fi nished 10th in 2009. Although there are multiple vacancies in the Nittany Lions’ starting line, they return All-America selections Andrew Bauman and Lane Jubb. A large number of underclassman will need to step up and fi ll the remaining starting spots if PSU wants to compete at the highest level and have a shot at the national championship. Depth and speed will be the Lions’ strengths, hoping to overshadow the inexperience of their roster.

Page 27: UNDERSTANDING THE GAME OF UNDERSTANDING THE GAME …

Saint Joseph’s UniversityAs a new team in the Collegiate Water Polo Association, the Hawks enter with great anticipation and high expectations. Last year Saint Joe’s fi nished with a 4-4 record playing an independent schedule, a great start for a developing fi rst-year team. Building on this suc-cess in 2010 should be easier with the entire roster back for an-other go. Key athletes for the Hawks are Mike Kruckenmeyer, Craig Finnerty and Dritan Hodo. Kruckenmeyer, an outstanding sopho-more goalie from Strake Jesuit, will anchor the defense, while the experience and leadership of Finnerty at point and Hodo at two-meters should provide goal scoring and offensive chances. Once a weakness, the overall speed and defense of the team increases with the addition of freshman Michael Thomas out of Southeast Penn-sylvania, and the duo of Thomas and Charlie Schwerin from the wings. Although the upcoming season will test the Hawks, their new and returning talent should help them be competitive this year.

University of DelawareDelaware is looking forward to having a very strong season based on their returning talent. Coming off a sixth place fi nish in the Mid-At-lantic East Region and the best record in program history, combined with losing only two seniors to graduation, the Blue Hens will fi eld one of their most experienced squads since the program’s inception. A renewed practice regimen with more intensity by coaches Peter Pa and Josh Humberston should produce greater results as well. Goalie Bill Mattern returns to the cage this fall after spending a year in the fi eld and will be supported by key players, including Joe Posch, Lyle de la Rosa, Ben Cooper, Humberston and Pa. Look for Delaware to continue to gain competitively within the division.

University of PennsylvaniaComing off a 7-1 record in the 2009 regular season with ties for fi rst place at the Yale Invitational tournament and in the Mid-At-lantic Division East Region, Penn returns to the Mid-Atlantic Di-vision looking to earn a bid to the 2010 National Collegiate Club Championship. Due to the recent addition of several key players to the squad’s veterans, the Quakers will be a favorite to claim the program’s seventh division crown. Returning players Brady Sieber, Jay Fantone and Pat Buck continue to bring impressive ball handling skills and agility, allowing the team to excel on all fronts. Likewise, Ryan Percy and Blake Winston provide additional speed and fi re-power, while Jonathan Lustgarten, Dan O’Neil and John Voith chip in endurance and experience. New goalie Kerry Kellogg proved to be an integral and strong asset on the defensive end and rounds out a mature and tested group. Boasting high ambitions, captain Mike Czubakowski and coach Antonio Merlo should lead the Quakers into what looks like a promising season.

University of PittsburghEntering its fi fth season as a member of the league, the Panthers of Pittsburgh will seek to improve on last year’s second place fi nish in the Mid-Atlantic Division Western Region and third place mark at the division championship tournament.

Villanova UniversityAfter graduating virtually their entire team following the program’s third runner-up fi nish in the Mid-Atlantic Division during the past four years, the Villanova Wildcats entered the spring in a recruiting phase just so they could fi eld a program in 2010. Since that time the team has gained signifi cant numbers including a host of freshmen. Anchoring the defense will be freshman goalie Ryan French along with captain Ian McDonough at two-meter defender. McDonough

27

is also a capable driver and will be aided by the experience of Nick Cipiti, Matt Brawley and Jeff Bell. Two-meters will be shared by several athletes including Mike McCardle, Bryan Robinson and freshmen Dan Quigley and Ben Mix. Another player that will have a primary role on the team will be Jamie Padula as he comes from the successful Greenwich High School program with great experience and excellent skills.

MISSOURI VALLEY DIVISION

Lindenwood University “A”This marks Lindenwood’s eighth season in the Collegiate Water Polo Association and the Lions will be shooting for another mark after winning the program’s fourth Missouri Valley title in the past fi ve years. The Lions, who placed fi fth in the fi nal standings at the 2009 National Collegiate Club Championship hosted by the University of Florida, will fi eld one of the strongest teams in their history this year. In addition to every starter from the 2009 squad returning for another run at the national title, Lindenwood added several key players to an already talented group of athletes. A pair of Junior College transfers from Santa Ana, California join the roster, while incoming fi rsty-year Tony Storic of Dubrovnic, Croatia will add key experience and depth. Athletes to watch include 2009 division Most Valuable Player and goalie Aaron Saule along with 2007 and 2008 division Most Valuable Player Sharn Appel, Justin Bowers and Ali Campbell among others.

Lindenwood University “B”2010 marks the seventh consecutive year that Lindenwood will fi eld both “A” and “B” teams.

Lindenwood University “C”The fi rst program in league history to fi eld three teams during a competitive season, Lindenwood anticipates the institution’s “C” team to serve as a training ground for the Lions’ new talent.

Miami University (Ohio)In the midst of rebuilding the program following a Missouri Valley Division championship performance in 2007, Miami came within a single goal of returning to the division title tilt in 2009. Following an 8-7 loss to Saint Louis University in the semifi nals, the RedHawks downed Illinois State University 10-9 to secure Miami’s second consecutive third place fi nish in the Missouri Valley Division. This year, the RedHawks have their eyes set on winning the division and clinching another National Collegiate Club berth.

Saint Louis UniversityAfter playing in the Missouri Valley Division conference title game last year, Saint Louis returns this year hungry for another successfulseason. The keys to the Billikens’ success will rest in the hands of seniors Pete Cosentino, Jim Heafner, Ray Kreienkamp and Greg Keogh. Juniors Michael Kubik and Kevin Arnold are expected to contribute as well, along with sophomores Craig Borkovec, John Heafner and Michael O’Neill who plan to build upon their standout freshman years. Saint Louis is bolstered by a strong class of fresh-men, which includes Jack Buelter, Dan Goeddel, netminder Brian Johnston, Tim Keogh and Daniel Pike. How far the team advances will depend on their ability to mold their many talented parts into a cohesive unit.

Page 28: UNDERSTANDING THE GAME OF UNDERSTANDING THE GAME …

University of MissouriMissouri is looking at the end of a long rebuilding period following a fi fth place fi nish in the Missouri Valley a year ago. Thanks to a strong base of new players, Mizzou continues to build momentum in the division with a goal of reaching at least the division semifi nals this year.

Washington University in St. Louis (Mo.)The Washington men’s water polo team is optimistic about the up-coming season. Last year, the club placed fourth at the Division III National Collegiate Club Championship at Bowdoin College and sixth in the Missouri Valley Division. Thanks to a strong core of returning players and a group of newcomers, the Bears will look to move up in the division race and improve their performance at D3 Nationals. Although the team suffers from the loss of goalie Adam Webb, several new netminders will fi ll the position. Led by captain Sterling Jawitz, Washington looks to top players Dan Connor, Adam Spies and Adam Gremp to pave the way back to the Division III National Championship fi eld.

Western Illinois UniversityWestern Illinois will seek to improve on its ninth place fi nishes in the Missouri Valley Division during the 2008 and 2009 seasons.

NEW ENGLAND DIVISION

Boston UniversityBoston University entered 2009 hoping to play a different style of water polo than previous seasons, but ended the season like past years with a slew of injured players and a disappointing fi nish at the conference tournament. In 2010, the Terriers will look to change that history by establishing a style of play that forces their opponents into a game that favors BU’s talent. The Terriers will again hang their hats on tough team defense, anchored by Jon Freedman (83 Saves, 16 steals and 14 assists in 2009). Team leaders include team captain David Saxon (34 goals, 9 assists, 16 steals), Andrew Matsas (10 goals, 8 assists, 14 steals, 9 drawn ejections), and Kyle Schluns (16 goals, 8 assists, 10 steals). Jeremy Butz and Mark Kermath will also see ac-tion and will serve as team captains as well.

Dartmouth CollegeDespite the loss of fi ve of its six starting fi eld players, Dartmouth hopes to continue the success it has enjoyed during the last few sea-sons. Led by captains Ali Titiz and Dan Hochmam, the Big Green’s young team will need to make huge improvements to fi ll the gaps in experience left by graduation. Look for the knowledge of head coach Randy Budner to make a key difference as Dartmouth pulls together in an effort to defend its New England Division title.

Middlebury CollegeMiddlebury comes into the season expecting to improve on last year’s fourth place fi nish in the division standings. The Panthers will look to the senior leadership of Jay Li and Mario Guevara out of the water and for solid two-way play in the pool. With a strong group of returning players, Middlebury will play an up-tempo style on offense and an aggressive defense. Ben Weinberg takes over the starting po-sition in goal after sharing the net last year. He brings quick refl exes and a long reach to the netminder position. The key to the season will be the improvement level of the underclassmen if the Panthers are to be successful.

28

Wesleyan UniversityWesleyan has high hopes for the upcoming season after placing third at the 2009 New England Championship tournament. Although the team exhibited a loss of heavy hitters due to graduation, the fresh-man class is strong, motivated and ready to compete. The returners are also excited to see how the season will turn out. Senior and co-captain Michael Bailey has recovered from a shoulder injury, which impacted his performance last season. Sophomores Brendan Fortin and Wesley Fantini are prepared and expected to score. Co-captain Momo Saleh is ready to showcase the team’s strength on defense. The team is excited for the upcoming season and will compete with honor, integrity, strength and sportsmanship.

Williams CollegeAfter losing a strong senior class, Williams’ water polo is in a re-building period. Captains Rob Hannigan, Justin Marsh and Ben Wampler lead an Ephs’ team which also includes Greg Mcelroy and Sam Rashin. A focus for the 2010 season will be to introduce more athletes to the sport of water polo and add to Williams’ roster.

Yale UniversityThe defending New England Division champion, Yale’s 2010 team looks to come back even stronger than last season. Returning All-Conference selections David Skophammer and Paul Orland, along with All-Conference goalie Dan Kelly, the Bulldogs will be solid at both ends of the pool. Add in division Most Valuable Player Thomas Lazzarini and captain Andy Gordon, and Yale should be one of the institution’s favored to win the division and return to the National Collegiate Club Championship tournament. The Bulldogs expect their rising sophomores, graduate students and new recruits to round out one of the fastest lineups in recent years to build on last year’s ninth place mark at Nationals.

NEW YORK DIVISION

Binghamton UniversityOn the heels of a sixth place fi nish in the New York Division, Binghamton’s lineup has remained mostly intact with the Bearcats graduating only three players from their 2009 roster. The strength of the squad’s offense remains as seniors James Stavdal and Kyle Seeley come back for another shot at the fi rst division title in school history. Their play, combined with the rise of juniors Anthony Fiore, Jeremiah Deboever and Vladimir Gudovich, is a point of optimism for the team. As in past years however, the fate of the team will rest in the able hands of junior goalkeeper Russell Drake. His solid play should allow the Bearcats to reach new heights in the New York division.

Colgate UniversityRecruitment has been strong for the Colgate team this year, with some new but experienced members, along with some just enter-ing the sport. After a disappointing regular season, the Radiers re-covered at the championship to place seventh. Guided by senior captains Greg Reutershan and All-Conference selection Parker Caldwell, veterans will not be in short supply for Colgate. Goalie Will Centner and fi eld players Chip Molten, Mike Schon, Andrew Kim and Mike Chamberlain all return with an expectation of sub-stantial playing time. Newcomers Nicholas Pawlush, Mike Riccione and Elton Steinberg could also see signifi cant time following the loss of two-meter set Kevin Williams and scorer Adam Weisbarth.

Page 29: UNDERSTANDING THE GAME OF UNDERSTANDING THE GAME …

Columbia UniversityIn the aftermatch of an 11th place fi nish at the National Collegiate Club Championship and a near upset of national runner-up Florida International University, Columbia returns to the pool hungry for another shot in 2010. Returning players Will Reid, Abiel Garcia and Kai Golden will lead the offense, while Brice Particelli, Sam Elchert, Daniel Kirel and Eric McAnelly will be counted on as important contributors to the Lions’ defense. Reid’s height advantage and skills make him almost unstoppable at two-meters in man-to-man defense, forcing other teams to adjust their game plans. Look also for Jake Tulipan, Mike Tran, Akhil Mehta and Willie Avendano to provide support as the Lions hope to “three-peat” as New York Division champions.

Cornell UniversityComing off a fourth place fi nish in last year’s New York Division Championship, Cornell returns a strong core of young players ready for a better result in 2010. Seniors Gabe Gershenfeld, Chris Moe, George Yorgakaros and Junguk Choi will anchor the Big Red for what should be their fi nest season yet. Daniil Shalmiyev, Eric Yu and Doug Greer comprise a formidable junior class, and second-year players Nick Schaeffer, Dylan Spitz, Tyler Marrero, Andrew Broenen, Areeb Malik, Alex Correa and Jacob Raskin are expected to build on their impressive rookie debuts. Under the guidance of coach Yuval Grossman and goaltending from Alex Schlichting, Big Red should do well in the upcoming season.

Hamilton CollegeBeginning its second year as a member of the New York Divi-sion, Hamilton enters the 2010 season after placing fi fth last fall. Led by seniors Jake DeConinck, Andrew McDermott and Chris DeConinck, the Continentals will depend on both experience and speed to be successful this year. Most of the club has previous high school experience which will aid their team, including senior Kevin FitzPatrick, juniors Tom Cyran, Jon Fung and Ryan Park, and sophomore Tom Youngblood. Watch for senior Bowie Sievers and junior James Crafa to see more playing time this year. Among the six freshmen joining the team (Fumi Asaga, Graham Boyd, Conor Col-lins, Duo Gong, Daniel Levine and Trey Milam), most are novices at the sport but should learn the game quickly. The Continentals hope to place in the top three this year by relying on their core group of athletes merging with their new talent.

New York UniversityThis will be a rebuilding year for NYU following two division title game appearances in the past fi ve years. Veterans Morgan Alcalay and Zeke Abuhoff will be leaned on heavily for veteran leadership and offensive power.

Rensselaer Polytechnic InstituteRensselaer Polytechnic Institute will rely on the team’s experienced seniors to help their fellow Enginners construct a good season. In light of losing some talented players from last year’s eighth place fi nish in the New York Division, RPI expects to fi ll the depth with several underclassmen. The ultimate success will depend in part on how well the Engineers recruit to complete their bench.

Syracuse UniversitySyracuse will begin the rebuilding process as the Orange are fi elding a depleted roster after losing multiple players to graduation. Syracuse fi nished seventh in the New York Division a year ago, but is looking to rebuild with a new team full of young and talented athletes. Carl

Ward, a graduate student, looks to lead the Orange with experience and character, while Tucker Scherger, a returning junior, also will help Syracuse with his experience and left-handed presence.

United States Military AcademyA four-time New York Division champion (1998, 1999, 2001, 2002), the United States Miliary Academy reached its fourth consecutive New York Division title game last year, but fi nished up as the divi-sion runner-up in as many tries. This year, Army is prepared to do what it takes to return the Black Knights to the top of the division.

NORTH ATLANTIC DIVISION

Amherst CollegeThe Amherst YoHo Penguins look to continue their success in the North Atlantic Division, despite the loss of perennial captain Spen-cer Haught. Possessing signifi cant depth at the goalie position with the likes of Ofori Amponsah, Julia Eichenfi eld, Greg Barrett and Gavin Front between the pipes, defense will be a strength for the team in 2010. Veterans on offense include reigning division Most Valuable Player Alex Fraser, Ethan Balgley, Reid Fitzgerald, Ben Mc-Bratney, Ben Lin, Morgan Toy, Brooke Bennett, Will Mosley and Tim White. Young stars include Sheng Hu, Alex Pearlman, Dan Pal-teil, Jeff Helt, Bobbi Mason, Annie Glancy, Dan Schwab, Maddie Giegold, Vanessa Prill, Will McCartan and Max Gilbert. Amherst’s incoming class is deep, talented and poised to have an immediate impact. Keep your eye out for sleeper picks Jorgen Peterson and Ryan Colby, as their work ethic in practice sessions should pay off in the tournaments.

Bates CollegeBates will seek to improve on a third place fi nish in the division and contend for the program’s fi fth North Atlantic title after capturing the 1999-2002 crowns.

Bowdoin CollegeThe Bowdoin Polar Bears will strive to improve on a fi fth place mark at the 2009 North Atlantic Division tournament.

goalies with his infamous lob shot. Other talent includes sopho-more wings James Hootsmans, Andrew Hedberg and Jacob Marx. New players that will complete the roster include Kayleigh Monahan and Sandy Johnson, along with a batch of incoming freshmen. With several juniors studying abroad this semester, Ryan Fischer’s strong recruiting efforts will be as much a key to the team’s success as his shot.

Tufts UniversityThe 2009 Division III National Collegiate Club Champions, Tufts picked up its second North Atlantic Division title in three years last season.

United States Coast Guard AcademyThe Coast Guard Academy Bears gained a great deal of new tal-ent and are ready to rebuild after losing some talented seniors. Last season the Bears fi nished second in the division after losing an 11-6 game to Tufts University in the North Atlantic championship tilt. The 2010 team will be led by All-America fi rst team selection Mark Tatara, who will provide much of the offensive scoring. Tatara will be aided by seniors Alex Brown, Liam Bell and Mitch Schumacher, along with sophomore Nick Poehler. Goalie George Thomas takes to the cage once again to lead the Bears’ defense. Thanks to a strong roster of returning players and some talented new players, Coast Guard hopes for a second division title game appearance in 2010.

University of MassachusettsThe Massachusetts water polo club is excited to begin its fourth year in the Collegiate Water Polo Association as a club program. This year the Minutemen move to a new division as they switch from the New England to the North Atlantic. The Minutemen are ready to take on their new competition under the club’s fi rst head coach, John Gallagher. Eager to fi eld a strong squad, the team will look to the leadership and experience of its returning players to help the club achieve a division title.

University of VermontDuring the Catamounts rebuilding period in 2009, Vermont tallied the program’s highest number of wins since 2006. While that was good news a year ago it bodes even better for 2010, since the entire starting lineup returns for another campaign. Goalie Jesse Zastrow will serve as the last line of defense once again, while Derek Wolff and Drew Eberts will lead the offense. In addition, team Most Valu-able Player and All-Conference selectiton Cam Hecht will continue to breakdown defenses and keep goalies guessing every time he han-dles the ball. Speedsters Kris Sellstrom and Kelly Donovan will be relied on for swim-offs and counter-attacks. Newcomers Morgan Fog and Matt Mirkine both have high school playing experience and will see a fair amount of playing time for the Catamounts.

Worcester Polytechnic InstituteAmong a number of fi rst-year programs in the league, Worcester Polytechnic Institute will strive to fi nish among the upper half of the North Atlantic Division teams.

NORTHWEST DIVISION

Central Washington UniversityAlthough they lost several starters from last year’s team, Central Washington is looking to have a strong 2010 season. The players are ready to step in and pick right up where they left off with a sixth place fi nish in the Northwest Division a year ago. Look for Taylor Isabell, Sam Clark, Kaelan Nelson and Federico Bettini to be the core of the returning talent that will fi ll the graduation gap.

Oregon State UniversityOregon State looks to bounce back from a disappointing third place fi nish in the division race last year.

Seattle UniversityAmong a crop of fi rst-year programs joining the Collegiate Water Polo Association in 2010, Seattle will use the 2010 season to grow as a team with the eventual goal of earning the division’s bid to the National Collegiate Club Championship.

University of OregonA four-time division champion (2004, 2005, 2007, 2008) in six title game appearances, Oregon will seek to gain some revenge for be-ing knocked off by the University of Washington in the Northwest Division title game last year. The Ducks, who fi nished the regular season with a perfect mark, saw their national championship hopes dashed by the second-seed Huskes in a 9-5 defeat. Oregon hopes to not provide Washington another chance to return to Nationals by going undefeated in league play to once again have a chance at claiming the National Collegiate Club title.

University of Washington (Wash.)Washington is seeking to repeat as Northwest Division Champions in 2010 following the arrival of new head coach Chris Gilroy. In lieu of losing goalie Jonny Muir, the Huskies expect to improve on their eighth place fi nish at the National Collegiate Club Champion-ship based on the return of their entire fi eld contingent, including Sam Sussman and Tom Stowell, along with Phil Roan, Rick Farmer, Tony Raubitschek, Mike Moshofsky, Riley Brazil and Victor Wong. Joe Laird had a standout season in 2009 and should be a big part of the Washington offense once again. The Huskies are also looking forward to the arrival of new goaltender Kevin McKenna and fresh-man Markus Gutierez.

Washington State UniversityWashington State is prepared to do what is necessary to return to the division title game for the fi rst time since the 1998 season. After a fi fth place mark in the Northwest Division a year ago, the Cougars will work to conclude the season among the Top Three teams this year.

Western Washington UniversityWestern Washington has high hopes to place higher than last year’s fourth place fi nish in the Northwest Division.

PACIFIC COAST DIVISION

California Polytechnic State UniversityCalifornia Polytechnic has a lot to prove this year following an un-characteristic season in which the Mustangs fi nished the year fi fth at the 2009 Pacifi c Coast Division Championship. But for Cal Poly, it is a new year with a new outlook as the fi ve-time national cham-pions are ready to make it back to the top. The graduation of 2009 All-America goalie Casey Ryan and team captain Kurtis Wurster, who were both vital to the team’s last championship effort in 2008, hurts. However, the Mustangs have a lot of depth and older play-ers ready to make an impact. Goalies Kevin Gericke and Kyle Loo-mis take over responsibility within the cage as strong defenders and solid shoot blockers. Returning starter Jake Muir will be a force at two-meters and the return of two-time Pacifi c Coast All-Conference selection Aaron Shilling and 2008 All-America pick Brandon Ross put the Mustangs in place to make another run. Beyond the super-stars, look for substantial impact from seniors Justin Geller, Zach-ary Curhan, Dustin Lee, Greg Welch, Josh Combs, Scott London, John Simms and Casey Nakamura, as well as the numerous talented and skilled upcoming players to give Cal Poly an excellent chance to win the Pacifi c Coast Division and National Collegiate Club titles in 2010. California State University-ChicoChico State is looking to better itself from the 2009 season in which the Wildcats fi nished sixth in the Pacifi c Coast Division and ranked seventh in the nation heading into the division tournament. Due to multiple players returning, Chico is looking to have an even better season. Besides the veteran upperclassmen, sophmores will provide much of the depth for the team and will factor signifi cantly in the Wildcats’ title hopes.

California State University-FresnoThe Fresno State Bulldogs will face a few challenges this season, not the least of which will be their practice schedule as the club will be displaced by the construction of their new 50-meter aquatics facility. Helping them overcome these obstacles will be fi rst-time college-level coach Ryan Stiner. Stiner hopes to build a dominant team that will be able to compete with larger inter-league foes, such as California Polytechnic State University - a process that Stiner says will take time and work. Helping to close the gap will be fi ve new freshmen that should contribute greatly to this young and energetic squad. Eyeing the future, the Bulldogs hope to gain experience over the next two years to begin climbing the ladder to the top.

California State University-Maritime AcademyCal Maritime returns on the heels of a fi fth place fi nish at the 2009 Pacifi c Coast Division Northern Region Championship.

Saint Mary’s College (Calif.)Saint Mary’s placed eighth in the Pacifi c Coast Division Northern Region last year and will strive to establish a program best mark in the new season after placing fourth in the overall 2003 division standings.

San Diego State UniversityFollowing a seventh place fi nish at the 2009 Pacifi c Coast Division Southern Region Championship, San Diego State will work to rise up the Pacifi c Coast Division’s regional standings and advance to the overall division championship.

San Jose State UniversitySan Jose State will depend upon the strengths of its underclassmen following the departure of several seniors and players. On the heels of a 10th place fi nish in the Pacifi c Coast Division Northern Region standings, SJSU will look to begin the process of climbing the region standings for an eventual shot at the division title.

Stanford UniversityEntering its fourth year as a member of the league, Stanford seeks to improve on its successful sixth place fi nish in the Pacifi c Coast Division Northern Region from last year. The loss of starter An-drew Trepp and goalie David Pursell leave large shoes to fi ll for the Cardinal, but a strong group of underclassmen is expected to bring their experience and take leadership of this young program.

University of California-BerkeleyThe Northern Divison regular season champion with a perfect 8-0 mark, California saw its hopes of a berth to the National Collegiate Club Championship terminate in the division title game as eventual national champion the University of California-Los Angeles held off the Golden Bears 8-6. Look for them to be a contender this season.

University of California-DavisUC-Davis returns a roster full of talent and experience that will work to put the Aggies into the stratosphere of the Pacifi c Coast Division’s best teams. Last year, the team fi nished third in the North-ern Region and notched an eighth place mark at the overall division championship tournament, both marks the Aggies will look to dra-matically improve upon in 2010 after reaching the title game in 2006 and 2007.

University of California-IrvineThe runner-up in the Pacifi c Coast Division Southern Region last year, UC-Irvine fi nished 2009 in fourth place at the overall division championship tournament.

University of California-Los AngelesFor the fi rst time in program history, the Bruins are now the hunted rather than the hunter as UCLA captured the 2009 Pacifi c Coast Division Southern Region, Pacifi c Coast and National Collegiate Club Championship titles. Gone from the roster is captain and All-America selection Matt Wiener, but the Bruins return a strong core of players that are ready to help UCLA become the second men’s program to win back-to-back national titles since California Polytechnic State University Mustangs achieved the feat in 2001 and 2002. Center Max Scott is joined by utility man Caleb Greig to lead the Bruins’ on offense, with captain Cameron Virjee and stalwart defender Michael “Goose” Olson ready to complement the duo. UCLA has parlayed its national success into personnel as a strong freshmen class will offset the loss of the program’s seniors.

University of California-San DiegoAlthough UC-San Diego fi nished sixth in the Pacifi c Coast Divi-sion Southern Region last season, the Tritons hope to have a more impressive campaign in 2010. Returning star Eric Schwarberg looks to help fi ll the void left by a handful of departing playmakers. He will get assistance from standout Matt Bogott, while the strength and skill of Alexis Shakas will serve as a formidable force against the division’s defenses. Defense will prove to be the Tritons greatest strength anchored by the brilliant play of returning netminder Chris Huffman. Huffman was a wall in goal last season, a pattern which should continue this fall.

Page 32: UNDERSTANDING THE GAME OF UNDERSTANDING THE GAME …

University of California-Santa BarbaraUC-Santa Barbara is coming off third place fi nishes at both the Southern Region and Pacifi c Coast Division Championships a year ago. Although losses from last season’s squad include experience and goaltending, prolifi c outside shooters Colin Gerber, Frank Hurd and Paul Nagle return to anchor the Gauchos and will be key ingre-dients in the team’s success. Rounding out the depth on the squad are quick drivers Mike Zamolo and Sean Ison.

University of Santa CruzFollowing a fourth place fi nish in the Northern Region to earn a spot in the Pacifi c Coast Division Championship tournament, UC-Santa Cruz fi nished the year seventh in the division.

University of San DiegoIn just three years after joining the organization, San Diego has made great strides in league play. The club graduated two players last season and expects to pick up six incoming players for the fall of 2010. Although still a new program, the club expects to continue to improve and move up in the Collegiate Water Polo Association Pacifi c Coast Division standings.

University of Southern CaliforniaThe Trojans of USC are coming out of a rebuilding year with a slew of new players. Approximately thirty incoming freshmen have signed on to join the twenty-eight man roster from 2009 to rank USC as one of the largest programs in the nation. Outside shooter Kane Kuo will be a key offensive threat alongside varsity transfer Connor Plaga. Colin Dwyer will provide great team leadership for the Trojans. A major factor is the number of ex-varsity players com-ing to join the club team. Two-meter set Tom Avery will be hitting the offense, in addition to Max Bricklin, Miles Deamer, Pat Talbott and Will Agramonte. This talented group will be a formidable roster against the division’s competition.

ROCKY MOUNTAIN DIVISION

Colorado State UniversityColorado State is looking strong with several returning players ready to lead the Rams to the division title. How far the club advances in the conference standings will be due largely to how well CSU’s incoming freshmen can integrate with the returning veterans. Look for the Rams to be competitive within the division with a shot at earning a berth to the National Collegiate Club Championship.

Southern Utah UniversityNot since the league was founded has a fi rst-year program earned the distinction of hosting a National Collegiate Club Championship with a guaranteed shot at the national championship. But Southern Utah will get a chance to do both this year as the Thunderbirds are slated to host the championship fi eld and are ensured of holding at least the No. 16 seed in the bracket. Led by coach Blair Bentley, the team comprised of players from all over Utah is excited to kick off a competitive fi rst year and take on the league’s best.

University of Colorado “A”The Buffaloes of Colorado are primed to regain their division title after fi nishing second to the University of Utah last year. A three-time champion, Colorado previously won the 2008 Rocky Mountain and 1998 and 2001 Southwest Division crowns.

University of Colorado “B”Colorado “B” team will attempt to move up the standings after a sixth place fi nish in the Rocky Mountain Division.

University of DenverDenver comes into the season with a winning attitude. Following a 3-5 record during the 2009 season, the Pioneers hope to increase the offensive pressure with former Rocky Mountain Division Player of the Week Teddy Bonus leading the way. Due to the loss of starting goalie Paul Davis to graduation, Denver must work hard to keep its defense strong against the high-scoring offenses of division oppo-nents. Expect great things from these Pioneers who aim to exceed a fourth place fi nish set last year.

University of UtahUtah continues to build and gain strength as it returns this year un-der second year head coach Tom Taylor. After taking the division title and placing seventh at the 2009 National Collegiate Club Cham-pionship at the University of Florida, the Utes are primed to reach heights never previously achieved by a Utah water polo team. Key to the program’s title hopes is fi lling the loss of three starters with new talent and returning players. Look for Tyler Pool, Danny Brad-ley, Todd Bradley, Christian Hayes, Vig Mikulis, Sam Thomas, Brent Weldon and others to have a signifi cant impact on offense and de-fense. All-America second team and Rocky Mountain Division Most Valuable Palyer Thomas may have to battle one of his teammates for the division prize this year as All-America honorable mention selec-tion Pool could be the breakout star of the entire Collegiate Water Polo Association. Expect great things from this team, as they eye goals of winning the Rocky Mountain Division title and fi nishing among the top teams in the nation after achieving both goals during the 2007 and 2009 seasons.

Weber State UniversityA fi rst year program, Weber State hopes to enjoy the season and begin the process of growing its team to rate among the Rocky Mountain’s best clubs within the next few seasons.

SOUTHEAST DIVISION

Auburn UniversityAuburn heads into the fall campaign primed to move up the South-east Division standings after placing sixth last season. The club was founded in 1995 and began with nine members. Soon after its for-mation, the team suffered a tragic loss when one of its founding members, Chris Young, was killed in a car accident in October, 1996. The following spring, the fi rst annual Chris Young Memorial Tour-nament was held in his honor. That same year, the team joined the Southeastern Collegiate Conference (SCC) under coach John Owens and began competing in fall and spring championship tournaments before becoming part of the Collegiate Water Polo Association. The team is now comprised of 15 players and is coached by former Olympian Jim Ferguson.

Clemson UniversityEntering its seventh season as a Collegiate Water Polo Association club team, Clemson has made a habit of recruiting ex-swimmers and turning them into water polo players. On the heels of the most suc-cessful year in the history of the team in which the club placed third in the Southeast Division, the Tigers look forward to the challenge of improving, even with the loss of several key members. A young

team with only two seniors returning. the greatest hurdle the Tigers will have to overcome is at set. With a good portion of their size graduating, the undersized, speedy team will have to out swim their opponents to gain an advantage.

Emory UniversityThe Eagles of Emory have landed back in the Collegiate Water Polo Association as the program returns to the league following a several year absence. Glad to be back among the ranks of competitive wa-ter polo, Emory is working hard to rebuild the program and to be a fi xture in this organization for years to come.

Georgia Institute of TechnologyAfter capturing the Southeast Division and an automatic bid to the National Collegiate Club Championship for a third consecutive year, Georgia Tech plans to improve team dynamics in order to win the Southeast for the sixth time in program history and ramble to the National Collegiate Club Championship. The Yellow Jackets placed 13th at Nationals, a mark the squad wishes to dramatically improve upon in 2010. Under the leadership of coaches Kasi David and Steve Kuehnle, the team will look to build off of last year’s accomplish-ments. Leading scorers Brian Twynham and captain Chris Bauerlein return to solidify the offense for Tech. Goalies Neal Laxpati and Mike O’rourke, along with two-meter defender Andres Arbelaez, are expected to anchor another aggressive defensive effort for the Ramblin’ Wreck. Returning sophomores Nick Thompson, Patrick Slain and Frederick Damen will see substantial playing time as well and should help round out a solid team in 2010.

University of GeorgiaThe Georgia Bulldogs enter the 2010 season as a very different team from a year ago when the year ended with a disappointing fourth place fi nish at the Southeast Division Championship. Now under the leadership of coaches Chris Maurer and Stephen Hagerman, as well as seniors Lawson Floyd and Phong Nguyen, the Bulldogs look to incorporate the talent of a quickly maturing younger cast includ-ing Alan Carroll, Graham Kellams and new starting goalie Drew Duckett. With this blend of skill, speed, and experience, this squad should prove to be a heavy contender for its fi rst title game appear-ance since 2007 in the ever-improving Southeast Division.

University of TennesseeAlthough Tennessee slipped to fi fth in the Southeast Division last year, the Volunteers could be the surprise team of the division. A young and maturing team, Tennessee has the potential to shock the division.

Vanderbilt UniversityVanderbilt set the bar high in its fi rst season in the Collegiate Wa-ter Polo Association in 2009 fi nishing 7-1 during the regular season in conference play. In addition, the Commodores received a brick-house like defensive performance in the Southeast Division title tournament to advance to the title game against the Yellow Jackets of Georgia Tech. Although Vanderbilt fell 8-7 in the title game, the season set a marker by which all other Commodores’ seasons will be measured in the future. Led by seniors Kenny James and Matt Pop-kin, and sophomore Chris Watkins, Vanderbilt boasts a high scoring attack as well as a lock-down defense thanks to the strategy and teaching of coach A.J. Baucum. That combination will yield great results for the team in 2010 and a chance to earn the program’s fi rst-ever bid to the National Club Championship tournament.

SOUTHWEST DIVISION

Arizona State University “A”In only their fi fth season as a team with the ultimate goal of winning a National Collegiate Club title, the Sun Devils of Arizona State have their eyes set on taking back the division. For the seniors, this is the last chance for national glory as returning scoring leader Wes Sjoholm will be surrounded by classmates Sam Grucky, Dave Weid and Cory Peterson in powering the Sun Devils to the top. On de-fense, senior goalkeeper Matt Bloch will be the last line of defense. The Sparks brothers (Joey and David) also come back in 2010, add-ing tremendous leadership, both offensively and defensively. Sopho-mores Jordan Lunetta and Simon Hood will add depth to an already dangerous roster set on Southwest Division domination. Following a stellar season with a disappointing fi nish as Arizona State was up-set by the University of Arizona 10-9 in the division title game, the Sun Devils expect to make a strong run to win the title and earn a bid to the National Collegiate Club Championship once again.

Arizona State University “B”The highest fi nishing “B” team in any of the Collegiate Water Polo Association divisions, Arizona State “B” will seek to improve on its third place fi nish in the Southwest Division from a year ago.

University of Arizona “A”Arizona returns for the 2010 season with many of its players from the program’s third place fi nish at the National Collegiate Club Championship last year. The division title and National Collegiate Club Championship appearance avenged a loss to Arizona State in the 2008 Southwest title tilt to snap a run of National Collegiate Club Championship appearances by the Wildcats, including six straight Final Four appearances. Once again on top of the “Desert Division”, seniors Alex Williams, Taylor Knowles and Brett Krousk-up will provide leadership and experience to a team known for big game victories. Senior Sam Binkow, sophomores Steven Rodriguez and Matt Goodenough and junior Andrew Wolff are all potential stars on offense, while sophomore Dylan Davidson and juniors Rob Muirhead and Carl Hertlein look to continue their relentless defense in front of sophomore goalie Justin Friedenthal. David Blechman, Jamie Clark, Ryan Hodge, Yvan Bovard, Joe Fisher, Taylor Bohach and Tyler Steeb round out a deep Arizona team set to improve upon their third place standing in 2009 to bring a National Championship home to the desert.

33

Page 34: UNDERSTANDING THE GAME OF UNDERSTANDING THE GAME …

University of Arizona “B”The Arizona “B” team is coming off a fourth place fi nish at the 2009 Southwest Division Championship, a mark the team would like to improve upon to set up an All-Arizona Southwest Division title game versus the institution’s “A” team.

University of New MexicoNew Mexico looks to have a tremendously successful season after last year’s diffi cult campaign in which the club placed fi fth in the Southwest Division. Corbin Plugge returns at two-meter set after a one-year hiatus and is joined on offense by junior Bryant Shuey. These two will be aided by international players Hugo Nantel and Guilherme Lapo, who bring tremendous power to the team both at two-meters and around the perimeter. The Lobo’s counter attack will be led by sophomore speedsters Brandon Huffman and Michael Sheppard. Additional contributors include James Besante, Ruben Kimmelman, Robert Trujillo, Ansel Blumenthal and Adam Gutier-rez as outside shooters and drivers. Goaltending for UNM will be handled by a freshman, Jarryd St. John. Look for New Mexico to be a stronger team this season within the division.

TEXAS DIVISION

Baylor UniversityBaylor will work to improve on last year’s eighth place fi nish in the Texas Division.

Rice UniversityReturning 12 of 13 players from their 2009 roster, the Rice Owls will strive to improve upon last year’s seventh place mark in the division. Youth will be the strength of the Owls with a strong sophomore class and a potentially talented incoming freshman class establishing a fu-ture of success for the program. Rice has legitimate leadership and skill in both its upperclassmen and underclassmen-- something un-seen in years past. Freshman Adam Mizes now starts in goal, switch-ing from his previous position of right wing, and both Kevin Schell and Chris Thomas will lead the offense from the two-meter position. Ivan Huang will handle two-meter defense and will be well supported by Brynnan Webster and Craig Labbate, both fast swimmers. A solid bench provides a strong chance for Rice to improve its ranking from last year, and hopefully remain competitive in the Texas Division.

Texas A&M UniversityTexas A&M hopes to continue its recent success during which the Aggies won the Texas Division in back-to-back seasons (2007, 2008) and qualifi ed for three straight division title games (2007, 2008, 2009). The Aggies would like nothing more than a rematch versus archnemesis the University of Texas which knocked off A&M 8-4 in last year’s title game to end the program’s reign on top of the divi-sion standings.

Texas State UniversityWith seven returning players, the club’s founder and coach Craig Mason hopes to see Texas State continue to make improvements. He will have his hands full as the team lost two players to graduation in-cluding their goalie and one of the fastest swimmers in school histo-ry. Stepping into the cage is Corey Parada, who’s great height should be a big advantage. To fi ll the leadership gap, captain Alistair Laing will be relied upon heavily. Offensive production for the squad will come primarily from two-meter sets Nathan Galvan and Peter Neu-mann. Other talent includes Wes Poirier, Jim Locus, Justin Bowling and Ross Kelley. Although Bowling and Kelley are new to the game, they are talented swimmers and should help overall team speed.

Texas Tech UniversityTexas Tech, which recorded a program best third place fi nish in the Texas Division last year following back-to-back fourth place marks, is on the rise. Although club founder Greg Preston graduates, Tech boasts 11 returning players and several talented freshmen. Two note-worthy freshmen include Chad Conlin and Damien Hines. With the experience featured in their roster along with the new talent, Texas Tech could contend for the division title this season.

University of HoustonThe University of Houston enters the new season looking to build on a fourth place fi nish at the Texas Division Championship.

University of TexasThe 2003-06 and 2009 Texas Division champion, the Texas Long-horns enter the 2010 season with two things in mind: to work harder than their competitors and do whatever it takes to return back to the National Collegiate Club Championship tournament. Except for one graduating senior, the Longhorns’ lineup from last year’s cham-pionship season returns for another shot at the division and nation’s best teams. Capitalizing on what promises to be the best water polo team that the university has ever seen and with many young stars, Texas will work to pick up the program’s sixth division title.
