UNDERSTANDING THE GAME OF

WATER POLO Water Polo can be a confusing game for spectators. The 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 Information 1. Each team has six ﬁeld 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. The object of the game is to score by placing the ball completely in the goal. Players may move the ball by swimming 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 oﬀensive team receives a penalty shot. 2012 Men’s Guide Table of Contents About the CWPA .................................................................Pages 2-3 CWPA Timeline.........................................................................

Fouls When an infraction of the rules occurs, the referee will point in the direction of the team taking possession, while blowing his whistle. The ball is put back into play with an action called a free throw. This means the player gets three seconds of free time to throw the ball to another teammate or swim it up the pool. A player cannot shoot a free throw unless outside the ﬁve-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. The penalty for an ordinary foul is a free throw for the opposing team. Major fouls are more severe and are penalized accordingly. 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 ﬁve meters of the goal and the referee believes the player had a high chance of scoring, the opposition shoots a penalty shot. Major fouls can also occur through disrespect to the referee or when a player interferes with an opponent’s free throw. Players may only receive three major fouls before elimination. If all of this has you totally confused, just sit back and enjoy the game. The easiest way to follow the play is by watching the scoreboard. If your team is ahead at the end, great! If not, well consider that you have expanded your horizons. When the game is over, you can at least explain to your friends that the horses never get wet.

Aﬃliate Organizations

There are many organizations affiliated with the sport of water 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 affiliation 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 find state sanctioning organizations, the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), the National Association for Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) and all the collegiate conferences recognized by the NCAA or NAIA. Each individual organization operates independently with its own governing structure.

History of the CWPA

The 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. Officiating 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 NCAA and the NAIA are two organizations that serve The new structure combined all of the varsity teams in the a unique position. They each provide a supervisory role for East, along with the few sport clubs in existence at that time. their member schools.

Tie Breaker System - All Situations

If at any time two teams are tied in record or in goal differentials as you walk through the tie breaker system below, the result of their head-to-head competition breaks the tie.

Tie Breaker System - Two Teams

If the teams each beat one another, the goal differential in their games is used to break the tie. If the goal differential in their contests against one another is the same, the total of goals scored against each other is used. If the total of goals scored between the teams is equal, the differential for all common opponents seeded higher is used. If no common opponents are seeded higher, the goal differential against the highest seeded common opponent is used.

Tie Breaker System - Three or More Teams (for seeding championships)

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

(for advancement w/in championships)

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

Goal DiďŹ&#x20AC;erential

Goal differential is a term used to describe the difference between goals scored against an opponent and the number of goals scored by an opponent against a particular team.

VARSITY TEAM PROFILES NORTHERN DIVISION Brown University

With the return of five starters, Brown University will look to improve on its fourth place finish at the 2011 Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) Eastern Championship. Leading the offense will be All America selections Svetozar Stefanovic and James McNamara. Helping them will be sophomores Nick Deaver and Henry Fox. Defensively, Walker Shockley will anchor the goal for the Bears with senior Michael Hartwick manning the center defense position, backed up by freshman Will Klein. Seniors Cyrus Mojdehi, Dean Serure and Ryan Gladych will fill in as utility players. Brown also expects another solid campaign from junior Grant Villeneuve.

Connecticut College

Entering the program’s 12th season as a varsity sport, the Camels of Connecticut College begin 2012 with six new players who will aim to exceed the contributions that the program’s seven recent graduates made during their tenure. Sophomores Jonathan Stark and Sam Siegel Wallace will be asked to do more as well with a year of collegiate water polo behind them. Their classmates Nick DiLeo and Rob Spencer rarely came out of a game last year and should continue to distress opponents. Juniors Sam Buchman and Jasob Robb have been working out all summer to make the most of their opportunities. In only his second season with the team, senior Chris Pielock will aim to aid the Camels in contending for the Division III Eastern Championship. Team captain and classmate Brian Barasha hopes to end his eight years (high school/college) playing with two-time All America pick Clayton Witter on a high note. Fellow senior Sam Burns will also be a threat at the center position.

Fordham University

The Fordham University water polo team will have a very fresh look to it with 10 new additions to the roster to go with nine returnees. Head coach Bill Harris enters his ninth season at Rose Hill, and success will be found if he can get the new to gel with the old quickly. Among the returnees, senior Daniel Barron and junior Ben Clinkinbeard will serve as the team captains this season, and the Rams will need their leadership with 10 freshmen on the roster. Barron had his best season as a Ram last season, both on offense and defense, recording a career-high 39 points and 20 steals, while Clinkinbeard tied for third on the team in scoring netting 22 goals and 30 assists for 52 points. Other returnees that Fordham will look to for big seasons are junior Nicholas Allen and sophomore goalkeeper Noah LeBeau. Allen was second on the team in scoring with 59 points (34 goals, 25 assists), and has proved to be a solid commodity over his first two seasons at Fordham. LeBeau took over as the Rams’ top goalkeeper by mid-season of his freshman campaign, earning CWPA Rookie of the Week honors once, and finishing with a teamhigh 195 blocks in 78 quarters.

in Max Eliot (44 goals John Holland-McCowan (33 goals) and Max Murphy (28 goals). The team also expects contributions from a seven-man freshman class that includes five attackers. Three of the top four defenders from a year ago also return as Evan Ramsey (55 steals), Will Roller (28 steals) and Holland-McCowan (28 steals) are back to cause fits for opposing offensive players.

Iona College

Iona College reached its fourth Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) Eastern Championship in the last five years in 2011, but this year the team looks to do more than qualify by competing for a conference championship under the guidance of head coach Brian Kelly. Kelly’s 2012 squad, his 18th at Iona, will feature a talented group of veterans that will look to fill the void left by three starters, including seniors Matt Joslyn and Cameron Hudson, the team’s leading scorer a year ago. Leading the offense this season is sophomore Jake Lloyd who is coming off contributing 57 goals, 11 assists and a team high 20 blocks as a freshman. Junior Lee Stiles is the only other returnee this season that placed in the top five in scoring a season ago. In 2011, Stiles finished with 44 points on 33 goals and 11 assists. Senior Kristian Bocage scored a career high 19 goals a season ago and will once again be the team’s lead lefty in the pool. Also helping the Iona offense from the left side are sophomore Kyle Elmore, who scored 15 goals on just 34 shots a season ago, and junior Sean Davis, who has found the net 17 times in his first two seasons with Gaels. Junior Matt Stelnicki had 16 goals a year ago and will factor into the Iona offense from the perimeter. Inside, Iona will look to feed sophomore Ian Thompson, who scored eight goals a season ago. Senior captain Connor Bracken and junior Bryan Driscoll are also capable scorers on the Gaels offense, combining for 22 points a season ago. Seniors Cody Siemeck and Joseph De Leone are a pair of players looking to contribute extra in the pool during their final seasons, as each saw increased minutes late last season. Junior Jonathan Hernould and sophomores Nick Joslyn and Eric Corley add depth to the Iona roster, with Hernould appearing in 18 games a season ago. Newcomers this season include sophomore James Ramaley and freshmen Tommy Keefe and Zach Presto. In net, junior Stefen Hill is the lone Iona returnee at the position. Hill, a two-year starter, appeared in 29 games a season ago, recording 286 saves and posting a .480 save percentage. Adding depth to the position are sophomore Mike Pufunt and freshman Matt McCruden.

Harvard University

The Harvard University Crimson will be looking to build on a seventh-place finish at the Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) Eastern Championships last season. On the offensive end, Harvard returns three of its top four scorers from last season

Massachusetts Institute of Technology

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology Engineers come into the 2012 season with a great balance of young players and returners. A young team with a large freshman class, MIT returns a few experienced players ready to make a mark on the Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) Northern Division and Eastern Championship standings as senior goal keeper Kevin Hsiue and junior attacker Craig Cheney will key the squad. As a freshman, Cheney was the CWPA Northern Division Rookie of the Year and garnered CWPA All-Northern Division First Team honors in 2011. Hsiue and Cheney are joined by three other returning starters in juniors Scott Stephens and Andrew Dorne, along with sophomore Jack Clark.

Saint Francis College

Saint Francis College begins the 2012 season the hunter rather than the hunted, as the 2010 Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) Eastern Champion will seek to claim the program’s third Eastern crown in the eight years. The Eastern Champions in 2005 and 2010, Saint Francis’ quest for another trip to the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Championship will depend upon replacing Association of Collegiate Water Polo Coaches (ACWPC) AllAmerica selections Aleksandar Pantic and Filip Sasic. Leading the way will be fellow ACWPC All-America pick Marko Gencic who will strive to guide the eight-time (2000, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2010, 2011) Northern Division champion Terriers to another division and league crown. An All-North, All-Eastern Tournament and All-NCAA Tournament recipient in the past, Gencic was among the conference leaders in goals, shots, assists and blocks as a junior. If the adage is true that defense wins championship, then St. Francis’ outlook for the program’s another Northern Division will rely on the play of goalie Igor Mladenovic. Look for Marko Dzigurski, Vuk Vujosevic, Bosko Stankovic, Baliant Toth, Luke Raic and Tyler Perkins to factor into the outcome of the division race. Among the newcomers, Florida natives Cole Hamre and Jacob Barashick join Texan Liam Veazey and Californians Matthew Varela and Aleksandar Jakovlevic as the future for one of the league’s dominant teams over the past decade.

SOUTHERN DIVISION, EASTERN REGION Bucknell University

Year Two of the John McBride era at Bucknell University brings high expectations. The Bison lost just one starter to graduation and return their top four scorers from a team that finished the 2011 campaign strong. Senior captains Brian Barron (44 goals, 26 assists) and Matt Napleton (229 saves) will lead the way, although a strong seven-person junior class that features the team’s leading scorer, Alex Nowlin (88 points), and center combination of Jack Else and Mike Kimble will also decide the success of the team. Bucknell has six freshmen on its roster, including two centers (Andrew Roberts, Jedd Thayer) who will contribute in McBride’s center-based offense.

George Washington University

George Washington University returns 90 percent of an offense that scored a school-record 333 goals last season. The Colonials’ attack will be led by juniors Nate Little and Daniel Tyner. Little led GW with 83 goals last season, while Tyner, a Southern Division First Team selection, scored 48. Head coach Scott Reed also a pair of sophomores - Brian Mojica and Ridvan Pehlivan - to step up on the offensive end this season after impressive rookie campaigns. Senior goalkeeper Cameron Illes is a three-year starter who ranks third all-time at GW with 785 career saves, and he will again be the anchor of the Colonials’ defense. In addition, five newcomers join the Colonials in 2012, including graduate student Milos Purkovic, a transfer from nationally ranked Pepperdine University, and freshman Bogdan Petkovic, who has a wealth of international experience playing for his native Serbia.

Johns Hopkins University

Johns Hopkins University returns almost its entire starting lineup from last year with the graduation of only one senior in Mark Strickland. Among the veterans, three All-America honorees return to the tank for the Blue Jays as Alex Whittam, Ross Schofield and Danny Ovelar form the core of a squad primed to defend its Division III Eastern Championship and make a run at both Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) Eastern and National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Championship berths. Whittam, a three-time All-America selection, scored 72 goals with 55 assists last season. Schofield, a two-time All-America, punched in a career-high 72 goals to go along with 47 assists to net First Team All-America accolades. In cage, Ovelar made 278 saves along with 81 steals to rank in the top five in the nation, among all divisions, in saves. The Blue Jays should have one of the deepest teams they have had with the addition of six freshmen that will all have an immediate impact. Ovelar will get some competition in the cage from high school All-America Eric Henrickson of Laguna Beach, Calif.

Princeton University

Princeton University enters 2012 prepared to defend its Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) Eastern Championship behind a veteran laden squad. Despite the Tigers’ depth, a challenging slate lies ahead with games versus some of the top teams in the nation. In 2011, Princeton went 22-10, 6-2 Southern en route to its third Eastern Championship and a third place finish at the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Championship. The Tigers return 22 players this season, while adding three freshmen to the roster. The mix of experience and talented newcomers will assuredly bolster the Princeton lineup. The three athletes include two field players in Jamie Kuprenas and Bradley Wachtell, who will vie for minutes and garner experience from their veteran teammates.

Goalie Alex Gow rounds out the trio and he will be there to bolster Princeton’s play in the cage. In front of the cage, the Tigers will have the biggest hole to fill at 2-meters with the loss of Jeff Cole and Mike Helou. Rising sophomores Kayj Shannon and Matt Weber and senior Jack Ruth will look to come in and play a bulk of Princeton’s minutes. The most depth will be in the perimeter, as several players will be able to step in and it will be one of the keys to this year. The new players will also be looked upon to dive in and keep the squad’s depth at a high level. The offensive attack will look to again be headlined by sophomore All-America Drew Hoffenberg. The attacker scored a team-high 47 goals, while adding 36 assists on the year. He enters 2012 as one of the Top-10 players in the nation, as per NCAA.com’s Players to Watch List.

SOUTHERN DIVISION, WESTERN REGION Gannon University

Gannon University returns 11 letter winners from last year’s squad that finished 8-17 overall and 5-5 in the Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA). The Golden Knights eventually finished ninth at the 2011 CWPA Southern Division Championship with a 19-6 victory against Penn State Behrend. Tenth-year head coach Don Sherman has 68 percent of his scoring offense from a year ago returning in 2012. Junior Daisuke Takagi is back after leading Gannon in scoring last year with 52 goals.

Josh Rodriguez is back after redshirting in 2011. He scored 38 goals in the 2010 season. This year, the Lakers will only have five seniors, including Owen. Senior William Page missed a portion of last season due to injury, but is expected to regain the form that saw him become one of the team’s top scoring threats in 2009 and 2010. Strong junior and freshman classes are expected to carry much of the load this season. Luehmann, Svorcan and Cote will all be juniors in 2012.

Notre Dame College

Entering their second year as a varsity program, the Notre Dame College Falcons look to continue their winning ways and improve on an 11-9 mark last season.

Pennsylvania State University-Erie, The Behrend College

The Lions of Penn State-Behrend will be looking to turn some heads and cause a few upsets as the season kicks off. Ali Khan and Jake Desroches are the 2012 captains ready to lead the Behrend Lions 11 returning and eight freshmen to a higher finish than a year ago. A two-time Association of Collegiate Water Polo Coaches (ACWPC) All-America Honorable Mention selection (2010, 2011) Khan led the team with 36 goals on 92 shot and recorded 15 steals, eight drawn kickouts and seven field blocks.

Another player to watch is Kody Veit as the 2011 ACWPC All-America Honorable Mention selection finished with 35 goals and 12 assists in his rookie year. He led the team with nine penalty shots and was second with nine field blocks. In cage, 2011 team Most Valuable Player Hunter Backentose returns after posting 229 saves, 58 steals, 10 assists and seven goals.

The Salem International University men’s water polo team hopes to turn the page on a disappointing 2011 campaign and look towards a promising 2012 season in which the squad welcomes five new faces. Under the direction of second-year head coach Robert Bullion, the Fighting Tigers are poised to jump back into the Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) spotlight. Returning captain Ryan Wells is coming off a stellar sophomore season in which he led the Tigers in goals, assists and steals to claim 2011 Team Most Valuable Player and Defensive Player of the Year notice. Team Rookie of the Year Borislav Kovacev will be a key player in the upcoming season as he was selected to the All-Tournament Team at Division II Championship. Wesley Clark will be another leader for the incoming freshmen as he strives to carry over from the success he experienced toward the end of last season. Redshirt freshmen Vincent Lucas and Michael Broome are two newcomers that could make an immediate impact. Further, the Tigers welcome five freshmen with Kameron Schlegel and Paul Strube highlighting a group that will contend for immediate playing time. Strube, a native of Berlin, Germany and a two-time All-Division selection, was selected to the All-East Berlin Team that took fourth place in an international tournament against squads from Poland, the Czech Republic, Israel, Turkey, Great Britain, Switzerland and Georgia. Schlegel, who was a member of the Northeast Zone Boys Water Polo Team from 2009-to-2011 has prior experience in high stakes water polo as he served as co-captain for his 2010 Junior Olympics team and picked up 2012 Speedo Boys All-America Third Team honors.

Washington & Jeﬀerson College

Head coach Jay O’Neil was selected as the CWPA Division III Women’s Coach of the Year during the spring season and gets his first crack with the Washington & Jefferson College men’s program this fall. O’Neil, the Presidents’ third head coach in the past four seasons, looks to bring stability to a program searching for its first winning season since 2004. The Presidents must replace two-time All-America selection Andy Rish, but plenty of talent returns for W&J which has one of its largest rosters in recent years with 23 players, including nine freshmen. Senior Cameron Chaves will lead the scoring attack after netting 33 goals a year ago. Chaves has proved to be a consistent scorer after firing in 32 goals as a sophomore. Classmates Joey Weiland and Alex Shuey are proven veterans who added 16 and 12 goals, respectively, last fall. Weiland sat out his sophomore year with an injury and hopes to surpass his standout freshman season (31 goals, 14 assists). The Presidents’ sophomore duo of Carl Krause and Mike Magdic will also be counted on to provide offensive firepower following 27-goal rookie seasons. Krause was also third on the squad with 16 assists, while Magdic drew the second-highest kickout total on the squad with 26. Junior Dan Francisco has seen a majority of the action in goal for the Presidents the past two years and has accumulated 242 career saves. Sophomore Chris DeNunzio is also back after starting eight matches and producing 80 saves. O’Neil will also rely on senior Mike Johnson, a steady and reliable player the last three years. Johnson compiled seven goals, 13 assists and 17 steals last season after contributing 19 goals and nine assists in 2010. Juniors Brendan Lesniak and Nick Thorneloe and sophomores Conor Crowe, Justin Brier, Sam Taylor and Ben Mancini all provide O’Neil with solid depth.

CLUB TEAM PROFILES North Carolina State University

ATLANTIC DIVISION Duke University

Duke University comes into the season in a rebuilding mode following the graduation of five seniors, many whom formed the bulk of the starting lineup last season. The team will hope to build on the experiences of the graduate students to guide the newer players along. Led by captains Tim Carlon, Trent Going and Yi Hong Poo, the Blue Devils are seeking to improve on a sixth position finish in the Atlantic Division a year ago.

Georgetown University

Georgetown is starting off this season looking to build on last year’s successes and better its most recent previous finishes of second (2009, 2010) and third (2011) in the Atlantic Division. Despite losing seniors Dave Ferrara, Luke Connor and Owen McAleer, as well as Steve Ward, the Hoyas expect to be even stronger as the younger players gain experience. Georgetown will rely on the goaltending of senior Luke Crihfield as well as the offensive play of seniors Paul Connor and James Vandeventer in a quest to claim the program’s first division crown and National Collegiate Club Championship tournament appearance since 2005.

James Madison University

James Madison University returns for another season stronger than ever. Last year, JMU registered a record of 4-8 with nearly half of the team (nine) comprised of freshmen. This year those freshmen are now sophomores with more experience in the sport and a stronger drive to succeed. The loss of veteran player and two-meter defender Christopher Ashley will challenge this young team to find a strong and suitable player to fit such a role. However, the rise of freshman Matthew St. Pierre, a water polo player since the fifth grade, the Dukes’ hopes of a strong defense remain viable. Senior Kurt Clauss will likely lead JMU in points, with junior Paul McGrath and sophomore Chris Crampton also competent scorers. Other key players include sophomore Ryan Williams, seniors Daniel Gallinaro, Blake Richardson and Dale Sager who should all influence the team’s leadership and success in the pool.

The North Carolina State University Wolfpack comes into the 2012 campaign after spending last season in rebuilding mode with less than stellar results in placing ninth in the Atlantic Division. Thanks to a large number of returning players, and increased experience all around, this should be an exciting year for the Wolfpack.

United States Naval Academy

A first-year club program in the Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA), but a longtime member of the league, the Midshipmen of the United States Naval Academy join the Atlantic Division with the intention of improving throughout the season and competing for the National Collegiate Club Championship in the near future. One of the most successful programs in the history of the CWPA in varsity competition, the Midshipmen are poised to capture some championships, too.

University of Maryland

The University of Maryland comes into this season looking to build upon and surpass a frustrating 2011 finish. Following the graduation of seniors Chris Gibeily, Joe Beavers, Matt Kolb and Brendan Desaulniers, the Terrapins will rely heavily on coach Jill Lau and their returning starters to get the team back into top shape. Juniors Dave Roberts and Pat Hagar, sophomore Zeyad Emam and graduate students Jarrod Bonsmann, Andrew Fitch and Mostafa Nouh will figure heavily into the success of the team and will see significant playing time. Despite the graduation of several key members, the team still hosts an abundance of fresh-faced players ready to avenge Maryland’s second place finish in the Atlantic Division from a year ago. Improved communication will further help Maryland’s efforts to become the seventh program in the 13-year history of the Atlantic Division to capture the championship and an automatic berth to the National Collegiate Club Championship.

Loyola University Maryland

Among a slew of rising programs in the Collegiate Water Polo Association’s National Collegiate Club ranks, Loyola University Maryland returns this season to make its presence known in the Atlantic Division and beyond. The Greyhounds seek to establish themselves as a team that will be a threat and upset the top teams in the league by projecting a strong defense and being able to keep pace on offense with the division’s best scorers. The team lost goalie Min Hei Wong to graduation, but regained him as coach, where he will guide the team from the deck and offer his knowledge. Senior captains Jordan Evans and Kyle Snow will need to overcome some challenges as the team has several members who are abroad for the semester and will not be available to play. Loyola hopes to use its incoming freshman talent to compensate for these missing players as the team strives to improve on an eighth place finish in the division last year.

University of North Carolina

The defending Atlantic Division champion, the Tarheels of the University of North Carolina are no strangers to the upper-echelon of the division as UNC holds three crowns (2004, 2010, 2011) in five title game appearances (2002, 2003, 2004, 2010, 2011). In possibly one of the tightest divisions in the Collegiate Water Polo Association, the Tarheels will need to possess the character to become the first program in division history to claim three consecutive championships.

University of Virginia

Following a fifth place finish in the Atlantic Division, the University of Virginia enters this season looking for several young players to step up and fill the void left by the multitude of players who graduated last year. Jacob Stock, Jason Herzfeld and Chris Kegelman will be the main offensive weapons, with Geoff Handsfield and Robert Klein adding lethal driving speed. The Cavaliers are anchored by goalie Thomas Heckelman as UVA will work to claim the program’s first division championship since 2003.

Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University

The lone team in division history to advance to the Atlantic Division title game four consecutive seasons (2006-09), Virginia Tech comes into the season with the ultimate goal of returning to the National Collegiate Club Championship by bringing the division championship back to Blacksburg, Va. for the fourth time in seven years (2006, 2007, 2009). The team finished with a 7-1 record but a disappointing early exit in the conference tournament on the way to a fourth place mark in the final standings last season. Due to the graduation of All-Conference and All-America goalie Peter Ollis, the team hopes Taylor Blair can fill in and help the Hokies rebound. Virginia Tech returns almost every starter, including two-meter defender Parker Field and All-Conference senior Matt Sylvester, who is eyeing another trip to the National Collegiate Club Championship. Sophomores Nate Peters and Michael Feihe will need to become more integral parts of the team if the Hokies hope to book a flight to Oregon State later this fall.

BIG TEN DIVISION Indiana University

Indiana University benefited greatly from the acquisition of new head coach Patrick Beemer last season, as he guided the Hoosiers to second (regular season) and a fourth place finish in the Big Ten Division. The squad hopes to continue to improve this year with many returning members. Top scorers Mark Ryden, Will Rigali and Kyle Rickert are back to lead the offense, while Bryce Tobias returns in the cage with support on defense from juniors Kyle Anderson and Luca Pasquesi. Seniors Jack Howenstein and Matt Cooney are also back to lead the way. Top freshman prospects for the Hoosiers include Kyle Kreunen and Parker Wilkie, who are expected to contribute on both sides of the pool.

coach Ron Marsh, the Spartans have a division title on their minds and are seeking to capture their 11th Big Ten championship, including their seventh in the past eight seasons of competition. Michigan State’s depth and experience will continue to be one of its strong points as the program boasts 10 seniors prepared to end their careers with a pair of championship plaques. Although MSU lost AllAmerica Second Team selection Jacob Marsh and Honorable Mention pick Mike Scarcelli, senior captains Evan Reynolds and Jordan Sikkema, along with sophomores Nate Case and Josh Jackson, look to reload rather than rebuild one of the most successful programs in the history of men’s collegiate club water polo.

Northwestern University

After a year hiatus, Northwestern University returns to the Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) this year with high expectations of a strong Big Ten Division finish. With a roster boasting an experienced group of senior players coupled with a crop of talented underclassmen, the Wildcats hope to be contenders for the division championship in the process of equaling the program’s 1993 National Collegiate Club Championship status. Seniors Ben Li, Graham Olson, Matt Escalante, Nate Nemon, Sammie Offsay and Victor Chang are expected to finish their careers by leading their team through a successful rebirth season.

Purdue University

One of the rising teams in the ultra-competitive Big Ten Division, Purdue University has the potential to be among the contenders by the end of the 2012 season. On the heels of a fifth place finish in the division race a year ago, the Boilermakers are out to prove they can compete with the best-of the-best in the division and the country. Although the club lost several athletes to graduation, including twotime team Most Valuable Player Jimmy Palac, Purdue adds a freshman class saturated with experience and potential. The team has realigned its priorities and hopes to contend for the Big Ten crown by the conclusion of the season.

University of Illinois

The Fighting Illini of the University of Illinois are younger and hungrier than ever. Coming off a respectable third place finish in the Big Ten Division in 2011, this spirited team returns with a goal of improving its final place. Along with a large number of returning starters and seniors, Damian Fitzsimons is coming off an impressive summer season with the Arlington Heights Narwhals. Overall, Illinois looks forward to working hard and finally achieving the program’s first Big Ten Championship.

Michigan State University

Coming into the 2012 season, the Michigan State University Spartans look to once again be crowned Big Ten Champions. MSU graduated five starters from its 2011 Big Ten Division runner-up group that fell to the University of Michigan 8-7 in the title game. However, sophomore starter Drew Stoffel and senior captain goalie Robert Spiegel return for the three-time National Collegiate Club Champions (2000, 2006, 2008) and five-time club finalist (2000, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008). In the team’s second season under

University of Iowa

Florida Institute of Technology

The University of Iowa surges back into the Big Ten Division with determination and reinvigoration running through the team’s veins. The Hawkeyes, now under the guidance of dedicated alum and Big Ten legend coach Bob Force, plan to improve on the team’s sixthplace performance at last year’s championship. Goalie Max Malec, Luke Fevold, Matt Johnson and Rob LeBeau return for their final season, intent on another record-setting year. Juniors Chris Workman and Genghis Hallsby, both newly christened captains, swim alongside returning starters Ed Martin and Sam Cleary, all of whom are determined not to be outdone and intend to rack up goals often during the fall campaign. Experience will be a key part of the Hawkeyes’ strengths as sophomores Max Sim, Alex Karwath, Chris Hoover and Eric Pahl have a year under their belts and are poised for breakout seasons. While Iowa will be relying on the leadership of experienced veteran players, a strong recruiting summer for the Hawks has allowed a much larger bench than in previous years. Players like freshman Evan Woodward, Kyle Plotsky and Ben Madden add to the squad’s talent pool as the Hawkeyes are eager to continue their newfound tradition of rising through the Big Ten ranks.

Beginning its first season in the Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA), Florida Institute of Technology is an eclectic team comprised of former international team members from Jamaica, Qatar, Venezuela, Russia, France and Turkey. Led by captains, Travis Hunsucker, Niels Ten Cate and Ollan, the Panthers will strive to bring their international experience to the Florida Division and immediately establish a foothold in the league.

University of Michigan

Florida State University

As defending Big Ten Division champion, the University of Michigan Wolverines enter the 2012 season excited to both repeat their previous success and improve upon it. Fielding a roster which is considerably younger than in years past, the two-time National Champions (1998, 2003) will need to overcome the absence of some departed stars. The loss of 2011 Big Ten Most Valuable Player Matt Woelfel, Ben Hubbard, Kenichi Osawa and Pat Trabert will undoubtedly disadvantage the team in its quest to earn another berth in the National Collegiate Club Championship field. Still, a talented freshman class hopes to fill the voids and assist the older players in achieving their goals. Returning starters Grant Cole, Chris Takahashi, Peter DeJonge, Sam Rosen and Michael Venit will be pivotal to the Wolverines’ success or failure. Similar to last year, Michigan does not have a strong two-meter player and will rely heavily on their swimming speed for goal-scoring drives and rapid counterattacks. Overall, look for the Wolverines to be a strong competitor in the Big Ten Division.

University of Wisconsin

The University of Wisconsin Badgers enter the 2012 season in a rebuilding mode. Following the graduation of Captains Sean Madden and Charlie Krause, the Badgers will be led by senior goalie Ryan Svoboda and a strong junior class, headed by Connor Murphy. Offensively, Wisconsin will look to feed the duo of junior Brad Ferris and sophomore Edgar Lopez, who will provide a consistent twometer scoring threat in front of the cage. Juniors Drew Heidenriech, Colin Terwelp and John Poelking will see an increase in playing time and will be counted on to bolster the Badgers’ offense. Defensively, graduate student Dan Wolak will supply strong two-meter defense. Overall, Wisconsin hopes its veteran leadership and team chemistry will lead to a successful fall.

FLORIDA DIVISION Florida Gulf Coast University

Entering its second season in the Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA), Florida Gulf Coast University is determined to prove it belongs in the ranks of the Florida Division. The team is in a building mode after a sixth place mark in the division last year, with many returning players and an influx of young talented freshman players.

Florida International University

A two-time Florida Division (2007, 2009) and three-time Southeast Division (2004, 2005, 2006) champion, the Golden Panthers of Florida International University return to the Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) this season ready to vie for the title. No stranger to the highest levels of competition, FIU advanced to the 2009 National Collegiate Club Championship game against the University of California-Los Angeles before falling via a 10-8 final score. The last time FIU competed in the CWPA the Golden Panthers finished third in the Florida Division following the program’s seventh consecutive title game berth in 2010.

Florida State University is ramping up for another strong season in the wake of making its first division title game appearance since 2003 with an 8-3 mark in 2011. The placement continued a steady rise to prominence for the Seminoles who finished fourth in the division in 2010, but are now ready to claim the division title and a spot in the National Collegiate Club Championship field.

University of Central Florida

The Knights of the University of Central Florida return this season with a senior-laden team after finishing fourth in the Florida Division last year. At the helm of the offense is Chris Culver, who leads the Knights, along with fellow seniors James Craig, Mohammad Ramadan and Dustin Keyes. The team looks to be a strong force this year with new talents Charles Stewart and Collin Brandt. Former Knights player Joris Montero also returns to help UCF repeat as the Florida Division regular season champion.

University of Florida “A”

The University of Florida is looking to retain its namesake division title and capture the program’s fourth bid to the National Collegiate Club Championship in five years. The 2008 and 2011 Florida Division Champion and host of the 2009 NCCC event, the Gators equaled the team’s all-time best finish of third place at Nationals last season at Georgia Tech, a mark the team is dedicated to bettering this year. As all but three of the members from last year return for another crack at claiming the program and division’s first National Championship, the Gators are an early favorite to contend for the title. Florida plans to make another run by relying on a rock-solid defense anchored by All-Conference goalie Travis Catron and twometer defender Kunal Patel. On offense, senior two-meter man and 2011 Florida Division Most Valuable Player Jason Mammino will once again pose a threat to opposing goalies. Shooters Cody Smith and Matt Sheehan join Mammino in keeping opposing defenses on edge. Newcomers Tony Aguilera and William Johnson are solid additions to an already powerful offense that defeated opponents by an average of nearly seven goals per game during 2011. Senior Matheus Rodrigues, and juniors Brian Montenegro and Christian Kamrath, will see a significant amount of playing time as they help the Gators achieve their goal of first time National Collegiate Club champions.

University of Chicago

University of Florida “B”

The only “B” squad in the division, the University of Florida “B” Gators look forward to making it a fun and productive year with new coach Bret Larson leading the way. Florida “B” looks forward to making it an All-Gator division title game.

University of Miami (Fla.)

After winning the division in 2010, the Hurricanes fell to a fifth place finish in the Florida Division last year. University of Miami is hoping to once again rank as a contender with the potential to remain among the nation’s best teams into the foreseeable future.

GREAT LAKES DIVISION Grand Valley State University

The Lakers of Grand Valley State University are primed to return to the pedestal as the most successful team in the history of the Great Lakes Division. An eight-time champion (2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2010), GVSU will work to regain its grip as the top team in the region through explosive offense and steady defense. Combining veteran leadership and youthful ambition, the Lakers finished fifth in the regular season and second at the division championship tournament a year ago. If Grand Valley can form a cohesive unit and keep pace with the division’s other high-powered offenses, they may be raising its first National Championship plaque since 2005.

Loyola University (Ill.)

In just its third season as a member of the Collegiate Water Polo Association, Loyola University will seek to become only the sixth team in the history of the Great Lakes Division title to clasp a title plaque.

Miami University (Ohio)

Miami University (Ohio) welcomes back starters Trevor Johnson, Adam Morrisey, Curtis Schaefer, Charles Schaw, Price Norman and Matt Gandlmayr to a squad entering its second season in the Great Lakes Division. Starting goalie Samuel Simmons is coming off an impressive year and looks to continue his dominance in the cage. With a promising class of freshmen and returning players, Miami is seeking to reignite a tradition of success and capture the program’s first crown since 2007 (Missouri Valley Division).

Ohio University

Ohio University comes into the season led by a corps of graduate students. The Bobcats, who are coming off a seventh place finish in the division a year ago, will need to find consistent scoring to contend for a spot in the National Collegiate Club Championship field.

The Ohio State University

The Ohio State University returns all of its players from the Buckeyes’ 2011 Great Lakes Division fifth place season, with the exception of last year’s starting goalie. OSU looks forward to the continuation of its high powered offense, led by two-meter set players Matt D’Errico and Ben McClurg. The duo will complement the speed of Porter Ritchie, Andy Turner and David Albert. On the defensive end, D. Ford Hannum will continue to be relied upon to stall the other team’s offense from the two-meter defender position. Newcomer Jake Wood will be asked to fill the vacancy in goal, while the Buckeyes’ deep bench will keep the offense and defense firing on all cylinders throughout the entirety of each game.

The University of Chicago returns following a several-year absence from the Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) hoping to make a statement with a revived team. Although the majority of the squad’s student-athletes have never played competitive water polo, the Phoenix trained last year and contested several exhibition matches against Chicago-area schools to get ready for their return to the league. Veteran high-school water polo stars Eric Hallman and Giuliano Wrobel, along with graduate student Vicko Glunic of Croatia, have created water polo players out of ex-swimmers, divers and non-athletes. Between the pipes, goalkeeper Derek Davis, who brings skills from his high-school squad in California, is the last line of defense. Co-captain Victor Gutwein, Brian Zimmerman and Marcus Trybula will also factor for the Phoenix. Among a bevy of co-ed programs, Chicago will turn to co-captain Eileen Shiuan and Chloe Wild to aid in the program’s first season back in the league.

University of Dayton

After a rough season last year, the University of Dayton Flyers are soaring high this year with four returning starters. Replacing Matthew Derrico in net this season, Matthew Lechleiter will be commanding the troops from between the pipes with his eight-foot wingspan. Two-meter sets Connor Thelen, Jimmy Nikele-Gomez and Evan Ruggiero return with more than 15 years of combined experience in the position. Former University of Illinois undergraduate Ryan Hays is expected to tear up the pool from the wings with Michael Ward, John O’Malley, Griffin Korner, Ian Kinsella and Peter Wilson.

University of Illinois-Chicago

Defending Great Lakes Division champion, the University of Illinois-Chicago looks to retain the title and return to the National Collegiate Club Championship in 2012. On the heels of a sixth place finish at Nationals last year, the Flames will turn to a new netminder as freshman goalie Jihad Ramadan looks to once again fill the shoes of Shane Krivanec, as both attended Stagg High School. Zach Van Swol, Mateusz Waksumndski, Nick Velasquez and Erik Hernandez share a well rounded offensive attack at two-meters as UIC should boast one of the highest-scoring attacks in the division.

University of Notre Dame

The University Notre Dame will fight to improve upon last year’s fourth place finish in the Great Lakes Division. Second year head coach Scott Clines will guide a program that has a bright future with multiple freshmen showing an interest in competing for the Fighting Irish. Key players to watch include seniors Jon Hancher, James Liu, Chris Jennis, Tate Kernell and Chris Mertens and Rob Ray.

GREAT PLAINS DIVISION Illinois State University

Illinois State University commences the club’s third year in the Great Plains Division with the goal of utilizing the talents of returning players Matthew Temple, Pat Kraulis, Mike Byron, Will Davidson and Cody Corradino in order to qualify for their third consecutive visit to the National Collegiate Club Championship. Illinois State returns four All-Conference players from the 2011 season and will also rely on players Matt Wiegel, Ethan Matthews, Tim Zoellick, Matt Pavlacka and Billy Fuener and a variety of newcomers to get the job done. The future is bright for a revamped Redbirds’ team ready to make an impact on the national scene.

University of Nebraska

The University of Nebraska is looking to its returning players to provide leadership coming into the new season following a fourth place mark in the 2011 Great Plains Division standings. The Cornhuskers will need to overcome perennial powers the University of Minnesota and Illinois State University to make the program’s first appearance on the national stage.

HEARTLAND DIVISION Augustana College

Coming off a third place finish last year, Iowa State University enters the new season with high expectations after losing only two seniors to graduation. Scoring leaders Aaron Elston and Kyle Passini look to again anchor the offensive threat, while defensive specialists Nick Eddy and Patrick Finley are primed to have breakout seasons creating turnovers. The goalie position should also be a strength as Evan Timm returns with another season under his belt. Bryan Passini, Nick Flynn, Noah Bergman and Jake Gazlay all are looking to make big contributions and form the foundation for a solid year.

Determination is the key word for Augustana College this year. In 2011, the Vikings were the underdogs and shocked the Heartland Division to finish with a 9-2 record and third place finish in the final standings. One spot shy of reaching the Division III Collegiate Club Championship at Hamilton College, Augustana will rely on Michael Gerber, a 2011 captain, and Tony Passaro, the 2012 captain, to power the team to the 2012 Division III Championship at Middlebury College. Mark Hillstrom, a former player who takes over as the program’s head coach, is eager to help the Vikings reach Vermont in early November. Fielding a roster of veteran players, including Erik Niemeier and Michael Duy, and anticipating a group of new players, Augustana is ready to take on the Heartland Division with eagerness to go above and beyond their expectations and past results.

Kansas State University

Carleton College

Iowa State University

Following the loss of one senior player, Kansas State University strives to improve upon its fifth place mark in the 2011 Great Plains Division standings with the help of a slew of new recruits. Brent Ware leaves behind a team that is attempting to regain some lost momentum following a year of light recruiting. Under the leadership of head coach Bill Foster, KSU has increased its membership drastically over previous editions of the Wildcats. It will be up to Foster and Eric Balas, the club’s two most experience members, to build a program capable of competing on a National Championship level.

Marquette University

Marquette University returns to the Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) and the Great Plains Division in a rebuilding mode. Comprised predominantly of Chicago natives from Fenwick High School and one player from California, the roster features players with great defensive strength and exceptional shooting ability. Featuring only three seniors, the depth of the Golden Eagles’ team will need to come from its junior class that needs to step up to continue the rise of Marquette.

University of Minnesota

The University of Minnesota men’s water polo team anticipates a dominating season under the direction of new coach Sunni Vang who comes to Minnesota after coaching teams in California. Vang brings experience and passion to a group of men who eagerly want to capture the Great Plains Division crown for the first time since the Gophers claimed the 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009 titles. The 2010 and 2011 division runner-up, the team enters the 2012 season at its most experienced level as Drew Wojack was the lone player lost to graduation. David Brajkovic, Mike Opthof, Tyler Briesath, Micha Koenig and Bret Jackson return to compose a formidable crew in the field. Further, the Gophers possess a solid second line of men that are ready to prove their worth and commitment to the penultimate goal of winning a National Collegiate Club title. In addition, a fresh set of recruits will help broaden Minnesota’s ranks for a strong championship run.

After graduation, Carleton College is down to six returning men this season. However, the program is excited to maintain Carleton’s tradition of playing great water polo while having fun. Fresh from his study abroad last season, senior Ben Southgate is ready to lead the team at two-meters. Carleton has a strong core in its junior class. Jesse Gourevitch, the immovable object to Southgate’s unstoppable force, will dominate at two-meter defense, while starting goalie Adrian Carpenter stops the shots that get by Gourevitch. Lefty Alex Simonides will also be an athlete to watch. First-year senior Julian Wyss, sophomore Andres Valle and incoming freshmen Wilson Josephson and Jonathan Brodie will need to step up and fill in voids for the team to have a chance at advancing to a postseason championship.

Grinnell College

Grinnell College aims to continue its past success and gain a berth in the Division III National Collegiate Club Championship tournament. Following a fourth place finish at the 2011 championship and a second place finish in the Heartland Division the Wild Turkeys are looking cultivate a sizable incoming freshman class. Grinnell lost powerhouses Sam Sherwood, Tom Lankiewicz and Nathan Krishnan to graduation, but retain a group of core players that are ready to make the next step. Manu Spooner returns in the cage, along with field players Austin Cote, Michael Brus, and Second Team All Conference pick Beck Ringdahl-Mayland. Although 2012 will likely be a year of transition from the old to new guards, the Wild Turkeys continue to look forward to winning the Heartland Division and notching a higher placement at Division III Nationals.

Knox College

The Burning Squirrels of Knox College will continue their focus on team spirit and sportsmanship as the squad seeks to improve upon a seventh place finish in the 2011 Heartland Division standings. Thanks to its returning players and a batch of new recruits, Knox looks forward to another season of water polo and camaraderie with the other clubs in the league.

Macalester College

Fielding a majority of returning players with a sprinkling of newcomers, the Macalester College Scots are ready to take command of the Heartland Division. The loss of only two seniors leaves the remaining veterans and a group of newcommers looking to surpass last year’s fourth place finish in the division. Senior Kai Cowger and junior Nathan Schachtman lead the offensive charge, with new additions Alex Frank and Oliver Koo also part of a strong scoring attack. Sophomore Simon Sanggaard and first-year Ben Kromash will be the base of the Macalester defense in the cage, with center defender Clark Jacobson taking care of business in the field.

Monmouth College

Monmouth College comes into this season with high expectations after another successful season last year by taking third place at the Division III National Collegiate Club Championships and winning the program’s fourth consecutive Heartland Division Title. Three starters return for the Crab People in All-Conference selection Gabe Baginski, Tony Marino and Josh Dunn. Captain Chris Falkenrath looks to step into the starting lineup and play a larger role. Sophomore Marshall Palfenier will be relied upon as the last line of defense as he takes over in goal, while returning role players James Corbeil, Brian Woulfe, Brett Dunn and Frank Wasielewski all look to provide Monmouth with added depth. After graduating a large senior class, newcomers Raheem Brown, Cameron Weber, Neal Hosper and Alex Hernandez will be asked to fill the gaps and continue the legacy of Monmouth Water Polo.

Saint John’s University (Minn.)

The loss of graduated seniors Mike Kelash, Roseanne Frederick, Andrew Nicklawsky and Chase Milller will cause Saint John’s University to rely on its freshmen to a greater extent than in previous seasons. As All-Conference player JD Quinby is studying off-campus this fall, the squad’s reliance on sophomores Joe Duxbury, Logan Arnold and Brandon Hansen to take on critical roles in the administration and performance of the team is of critical importance. Juniors Katie Verchota and Andrew Hovel are set as captains, with upperclassmen Connor Triggs, Alex Gernes and Wiley Radomski also providing experience to a squad in transition.

Saint Mary’s University (Minn.)

Saint Mary’s University is coming off a rebuilding year in 2011 that should pay dividends in 2012. In the wake of an eighth place finish in the Heartland Division last year, the Cardinals are primed to move up the standings and make some waves.

MID-ATLANTIC DIVISION Bloomsburg University

Thanks to a large group of returning players, Bloomsburg University is primed to improve on last season’s performance. Putting a strong emphasis on teamwork and defense, the Huskies are looking to do big things in the league. A solid freshman class is also expected to contribute to the team’s success.

Bucknell University

Among the newest members of the Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA), the second-year Bison of Bucknell University are gunning to improve on last year’s second place finish in the Western Region and sixth place mark in the final Mid-Atlantic Division standings.

Carnegie Mellon University

After reaching the Division III National Tournament over the past two seasons, Carnegie Mellon University aims to continue its streak of success. Though many members from the previous incarnations of the Tartans have transitioned to alumni, a strong group of juniors will provide experience and leadership for the program. Captain Matthew Reid has shown defensive dexterity during his first two years with the team and returns as a major motivator for CMU’s title hopes. Graduate students Miki Silver and Greg Slovin provide size and strength. Additionally, the Tartans are reinvigorated by experienced newcomers of both freshman and graduate student status.

Drexel University

Following a strong fourth place finish in last year’s Mid-Atlantic Division Championship, Drexel University looks to take the next step and compete for the program’s first division title. Under the leadership of captains Josh Hooruneit, Sean MacLean, Alex Miller, and head coach Jason Salgado, the Dragons return with Alex Luckey, Jason Su, Kyle Van Leer, Chad Schmidt and Mike McGinley comprising the core of the squad. Watch for goalie Alex Chialastri to make a case for All-Conference honors, while rising stars Ed Spangler, Steve Foss, Zach Geesey, Amanda Pegues, Lawrence Tello, Dave deLeon and goalie Dave Lemons also look to make a splash following years of hard work and dedication to the sport. Amid the highly competitive teams of the Mid-Atlantic Division, Drexel is a team to watch this season and into the future.

Franklin & Marshall College

Franklin & Marshall College returns to the pool with a young club ready to work harder than ever to qualify for the postseason. After graduating almost half of the 2011 team, and experiencing a large freshman turnout, the Diplomats seek another successful season on the way to developing a high-caliber program. Co-captains Jack Mahoney and Billy Cappuccio lead a program poised to raise its competitive edge with the possibility of qualifying for the Division III National Collegiate Club Championship and becoming the first Pennsylvania team to capture the prestigious championship.

Grove City College

Among the most successful small college teams in the Mid-Atlantic Division, the Grove City College Wolverines are looking forward to their large number of young players to step up and compete this season. Team captains Drew Archibald and Seth Brooks hope to guide a young GCC team back to Division III National Collegiate Club tournament. Grove City expects big things from senior Dan Henley

and juniors EJ Leuschner, Ken Vinyard and David Bossert. The team is finished off with a strong group of sophomores as the Wolverines hope to improve on their 11th place finish in the Mid-Atlantic Division from last season.

Saint Joseph’s University

Entering into its fourth year in the Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA), the Explorers of La Salle University are headed in a upward direction with new captains and a new coach. New head coach Andre Nyce has plans to strengthen the program in the wake of last season’s 14th place finish in the final Mid-Atlantic Division standings.

After a disappointing 13th place finish in the 2011 standings, Saint Joseph’s University is rebuilding its team following the loss of several significant pieces during the off-season. Several positions opened up, including two-meter defender and goalie, but veteran players Brett Portelli and Brady Werkheiser should help fill the gaps. Several players have expressed an interest to take over in cage as the Hawks’ hope to develop together into a strong team. Core defensive players, Maya Wilson, Madeleine Keogh and Marisa Samuelsen come back for another try at the Mid-Atlantic Division title, while senior TJ Bahr, junior Tim Bergey and senior Twells Teirs should contribute as utility players.

Lehigh University

University of Delaware

La Salle University

Lehigh University enters the 2012 season with a strong team. The majority of its starting team returns to provide exceptional experience for the Mountain Hawks. Although goalie David Begley and driver James Malone were both lost to matriculation, an influx of strong freshmen players should fill the gaps. Co-captain Alec Chin Lee will be a force at two-meters, while his sister Kelly joins the team as a freshman. Driver Fred Mischler brings his pin-point lob shots to the Mountain Hawks’ offense. In the past, speed has been a weakness of the club. To compensate for the previous lack of quickness, Lehigh will aim to ramp up their intensity. Veteran swimmers and drivers Kellyn McCarthy and Mario Schwaller should pick up the slack on both ends of the tank and enforce stronger practice rituals. Two-time All-Conference selection and leading scorer Carter Lathrop returns as captain, while Murphy Zingsheim, Tyler Lareau, Ryan Taglang, Sophie Kravet, Lydia Hunt and Keith Morse also return to strengthen the program.

Millersville University

Millersville University has a promising outlook for the 2012 season after a fifth place finish in the Mid-Atlantic Division-Eastern Region regular season results and a seventh place mark in the final division standings. The Marauders will strive to move into the Top Four during the regular season to once again qualify for the Mid-Atlantic Division’s “A” Championship with a chance at earning a berth in the National Collegiate Club Championship tournament. Under the leadership of senior Kevin Koehn and with the help of other veteran players Maddie LaCesa, Melanie Greaves, Mike Fisher and Johnny Kresler, the team anticipates having a solid season and challenging for the championship. New players such as freshmen Jessica DelMonaco and JD Ricapito will be integral to Millersville’s success now and in the future. Abby Moll, Christine Neville, Scott Espenshade and Jim Kheller all return to solidify the Marauders’ outlook.

Pennsylvania State University

A fun-loving team ready to take the next step in their development to becoming a consistent Mid-Atlantic Division threat and National Collegiate Club Championship contender, the University of Delaware placed third in both the Eastern Region and final division standings a year ago. Due to the intensity of the division’s regular season meetings, combined with difficult practices, the Blue Hens are ready to move into the limelight and become only the fifth different program to claim the Mid-Atlantic crown.

University of Pennsylvania

The Quakers of the University of Pennsylvania return to action after finishing as the 2011 Mid-Atlantic Division runner-ups behind the Wildcats of Villanova University. Led by seniors Mid-Atlantic Division MVP Ryan Percy, Blake Winston, Dan Fallahi and Shane Gillette, Penn is hungry to return to the National Collegiate Club Championship after taking the 2010 division title and placing 10th on the national stage. In goal, junior John Ibrahim rounds out an ambitious group which is looking to claim the program’s eighth division crown. Boasting high ambitions, coach Antonio Merlo should lead the Quakers into what looks like a promising season.

University of Pittsburgh

Short goalie Harrison Fisher and team Most Valuable Player Adrian Shodi, University of Pittsburgh captains Theo Danciu and Scott Schmalzreid will need to find suitable replacements at those two positions for the Panthers to have a chance at capturing the program’s first Mid-Atlantic Division title. Russ Kleuver, a former Pitt divisional swimmer, will be relied on during the counterattack, and dual lefties Theo Danciu and Andy Zanetti will hopefully be strong as well. Pitt’s main strength will be defense as guard Justin Mauro should rate among the best stoppers in the league.

Villanova University

2011 Mid-Atlantic Division Western Region champion Pennsylvania State University comes into the season looking to rebound from a disappointing result at the division championship. PSU, which dropped a 10-9 game to Drexel University to end the Nittany Lions’ division title hopes on the way to a fifth place final standing, will be without some integral players from last year’s 10-1 club. The team lost its starting goalie, two-meter defender and leading scorer to graduation, but brings back four senior starters in Andrew Nagelberg, Cole Hepper, Tommy Miceli and Ben Hengels dedicated to returning PSU to the National Collegiate Club Championship tournament for the first time since 2009. Last year’s freshman class showed great promise in their first year of collegiate water polo and the team will look for them to play a larger role in the 2012 season. Sophomore goalie Peter Lewin takes over between the pipes and replaces four-year starter Bryan Focht.

Villanova University will seek to defend its Mid-Atlantic Division title against a much improved Eastern Region and a reinvigorated Western Region. Facing a daunting task, the Wildcats return most of their starting roster, with a question mark regarding if Dan Quigley, last year’s leading scorer, will return to the team. Two players to watch on offense are left-handers Joe Schaadt and Ben Mix. The pair provided the majority of the offense apart from Quigley and will be relied upon again this season. Ryan French, an All-Conference selection who kept the team in many games in 2011, will lead the defense. French will be assisted by two-meter defender and driver Andrew Hotchkiss. Other players expected to contribute include Matt Brawley and Jamie Padula. A five-time division champion (2000, 2001, 2003, 2004, 2011), Villanova tends to capture titles in pairs as the current Wildcats will attempt to join their predecessors along with the 1995-1997 and 2007-2008 Quakers of the University of Pennsylvania as the only teams to repeat as Mid-Atlantic Division titlists.

MISSOURI VALLEY DIVISION

NEW ENGLAND DIVISION

Lindenwood University “A”

Boston College

A five-time Missouri Valley Division champion (2005, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2010), this marks Lindenwood University’s 10th season in the Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) as the Lions are shooting for the program’s fifth Missouri Valley title in the past seven years. After losing multiple seniors from last year’s Missouri Valley runner-up roster, captain Toni Storic and seniors Justin Bowers and Michael Willar are tasked with leading the team back to the National Collegiate Club Championship. Behind the leadership of the upperclassmen and contributions from freshmen, the team looks to fulfill its goals for the upcoming year. After winning three consecutive Division III National Championships (2006, 2007, 2008), Lindenwood seeks to take over the top position at Nationals under the tutelage of head coach Marko Cubranovic.

Boston University is looking to capitalize on a solid group of freshmen. After a third place finish in last year’s division championship, the Terriers plan on fielding a stronger defense and a reorganized offense to reach a title game for the first-time in program history.

Lindenwood University “B”

Dartmouth College

After finishing third in the Missouri Valley Division last season, the Lindenwood University “B” team will continue to aspire for a berth in the division title game. Seniors Mike Rimkus and Ricardo Rivera will lead the team, with Gojko Milutinovic returning to the net looking record a personal best season. In addition, a large incoming class of freshmen should bolster the Lions’ roster.

Saint Louis University

The third time was the charm for Saint Louis University as the team knocked off the three-time defending champion Lindenwood University Lions to claim the 2011 title. A 2009 and 2010 runner-up in the division, the Billikens bring back the majority of their players from the championship campaign. In addition, look for a group of incoming freshmen to form the basis for Saint Louis’ future title hopes.

Southern Illinois University

Among a group of first-year or returning programs in the league, Southern Illinois University joins the ultra-competitive Missouri Valley Division with hopes of making improvements and staking a position of power in its inaugural season.

Washington University in Saint Louis (Mo.)

The Washington University Bears come out of hibernation with guns-blazing. Four returning starters and two goalies capable of shutting down even the most skillful sharpshooter highlight a Bears’ club seeking to retain the Division III Collegiate Club Championship. First-Team All-Conference selection Chris Lauber is the keystone of the team’s defense. Goalie Andrew Ng and defensive specialist Brian Kaehler have been stonewalls in the past. Young guns Joe Fiala, Keaton Wetzel and Max Silver will use their strength and agility to score goals for Washington. Look for Ryan Halvorsen and Vedad Karahodzic to consistently draw ejections, while Rick Chopp and Kris Sladky provide a powerful one-two punch on the counterattack. Elijah Lowenstein and captains Shay Banton and Tim Greer are responsible for decoding their best opponents’ strategies and exploiting any flaws. A promising incoming freshman class that includes utility player Nick Becker and attacker Sky Walker, adds to an unprecedented level of talent for head coach Nathan Todd.

Western Illinois University

Led by Ryan Wise, Western Illinois University will work to return to the division title game for the first time since capturing the 2004 championship.

The runner-up during the regular season last year, the Eagles of Boston College experienced a tough division championship tournament, finishing fourth in the final standings. Holding a collective goal of winning the New England Division Championship and earning a bid to play at the National Collegiate Club Championship, the team is prepared to claim a division crown for the first time since taking the 2006 North Atlantic Division title.

Boston University

Despite four consecutive New England Division title game appearances, with a victory in 2008 and losses to Yale University in 2009, 2010 and 2011, the Dartmouth College Big Green know that a fifthstraight trip to the championship tilt is not guaranteed. In the aftermath of graduating a number of starters, captains Ali Titiz, Will Derdeyn and Christian Sherrill, along with Ben Reasons, are all back for another great season. Veteran goalie Dan Harnish is ready to step up as the starting netminder. The Big Green is also happy to welcome junior Jack Foley to the pool after a brief hiatus from the game. A number of strong new freshmen join the team and are expected to make a significant impact. Head coach Randy Budner and assistant coach Forrest Pollard are also back as Dartmouth looks to equal a historic mark. A five-time division champion, with victories in 1996, 1998, 1999, 2001 and 2008, Dartmouth can become only the second program in division history to reach the division title game in five consecutive seasons.

Middlebury College

Middlebury College begins the season with a young team, having lost six seniors to graduation, four of whom were regular starters. The outlook is bright however, as the Panthers will rely on a strong freshman class and veteran leadership from its seniors to compete. Middlebury is looking to improve on its seventh place finish at the 2011 Division III National Championship and will need to tally goals from forced turnovers and man-up situations. The team will rely on veterans Austin Bergeron, Ian Lindsay, Jeremy Janson and Patrick Li on offense, while Blake Harper takes over between the pipes. The return of Ricky Chen and Peter Diprinzio from training abroad will certainly help the Panthers improve, but the rest of the program’s turnaround will be up to a flock of underclassmen. Middlebury will greatly miss the overwhelming defensive presence of Paul Gerard and Andy Collins, as well as the selfless play of Andre Keiser on offense, but luck, talent, and good fortune should aid the Panthers in overcoming any difficulties and reaching the podium for the first time since Middlebury’s last championship in 2007.

Wesleyan University

Following a sixth place finish in the New England Division in 2011, the Wesleyan University Cardinals are hoping for a quick rebound. Wesleyan found some traction mid-season with wins over Boston University and Middlebury College, but could not carry the momentum into the final tournament due to injuries. The Cardinals return 17 players and five starters for the 2012 season. Key among the returning group are four-year starters Wesley Fantini and Brendan Fortin.

Fortin has been a leading scorer for Wesleyan every season since he was a freshman as a dangerous lefty. Fantini, a captain and AllAmerica selection in 2010 and 2011, looks to rebound after a season-ending injury. Also returning is co-captain Russell Madison who adds to Wesleyan on both ends of the tank with considerable size and strength. Seniors Thomas Cho and Nicholas Huston add depth as the Cardinals seek to channel their energy with greater conditioning and smarter play to battle for the New England and Division III championships come late October and early November.

Yale University

The three-time defending New England Division champion and the 2011 National Collegiate Club Championship runner-up, Yale University will need to overcome the loss of four talented seniors in Jack Montgomery and Club All-America players Keith Rubin, Paul Orland and David Skophammer to go for four consecutive titles. Due to the loss of the Bulldogs’ quartet, this may be a rebuilding year for Yale, which has big shoes to fill to reassemble the team. Graduate students Derek West, Ross Macdonald and Paul Randt bring experience and wisdom. Senior and player-coach Dom Kwok leads the team into a new quest as the bar has been set high by the Bulldogs’ recent success.

NEW YORK DIVISION Binghamton University

Binghamton University comes into this year looking to build its young talent and stars of the future. After graduating several key players, the Bearcats are still optimistic with a crop of talented young athletes who are looking to make a name for themselves. Look for Alejandro Chavez to make a big splash on the conference and for Seth Wolin to make a statement going into his junior year. Although Binghamton will be missing their biggest asset in goalie Russel Drake, senior field players Natalie Triana and Nick Devlin should keep the team poised to allow the young talent to shine.

Colgate University

After a sixth place finish in the 2011 standings, Colgate University looks to better its record in the New York Division. The team will need to replace Chip Molten and Mike Chamberlain to have a chance at claiming the program’s first division championship since 2005. Captains Brian Sayler and Will Centner are excited to lead a team of juniors and sophomores in a quest for Colgate’s third New York Division title.

Columbia University

Coming off its best season in school history, Columbia University will look to continue to build off its fourth place finish at the 2011 National Collegiate Club Championship. The four-time defending New York Division Champions are back with Kai Golden, Caleb Greig and Silas Wilkinson set to lead the offense. Newly appointed head coach Akhil Mehta will devise carefully calculated defensive tactics to guide a strong unit that includes Jhon Echeverri, Vahe Morkosian and Ido Coren. Columbia is eager to take on the task of pursuing another New York Division Championship and berth to the National Collegiate Club Championship.

Cornell University

Cornell University aspires to build from a productive last season where it finished 7-1 in league play and 12-5 overall. Notable victories included a win over the University of Pennsylvania in the Ivy Championship

tournament and a pair of victories against Army. Graduate student Mario Martone will once again be the focal point of the offense in the two-meter set position. The driver positions are led by the offensive talents of junior Evan Ciecimirski and the defensive skill of senior Tyler Marrero. Senior Captain Dylan Spitz and sophomore Henri Frey provide the Big Red with two strong shooting lefties. On defense, graduate student Sean Lyons will bring the pain to opposing sets. In goal, graduate student Alex Schlichting will defend the pipes for his fourth season with assistance from sophomore Gavin Taves. Look for sophomores Angel Martinez and Lee Brown, junior Jack Robbins and seniors Alex Correa, Andrew Broenen and Areeb Malik to contribute off of the bench. Thanks to a strong incoming freshman class, Cornell seems to have the depth and firepower needed to bolster it to the National Championship tournament in November.

Hamilton College

Hamilton College enters its fourth season looking to make a statement. Last year, the Continentals finished fifth at the Division III Club-National Championship to cement itself as a school to contend with despite its recent entry into the league. Returning players include Captains Tom Youngblood, Dan Levine, Graham Boyd and veteran starters Taylor Hogenkamp, Nick Ruppel and Reuben Dizengoff. Coming off a wild post-season filled with tight games, Hamilton seeks to utilize an aggressive offense. Although Hamilton loses two seniors to graduation in Tom Cyran and James Crafa, the team hopes to fill the gaps with a strong freshman group.

New York University

This will be a rebuilding year for New York University following two division title game appearances in the past seven years (2007, 2005) and one championship (2007). Coming off a fourth place finish in the New York Division, NYU will rely on strong defense and timely offense to once again contend for the title.

Syracuse University

Under new coaching and administration, Syracuse University will need to work hard and to be a contender in this division. Multiple third-year players return to help lead the team, among them Achintya Sankarraman, Billy Wagner, Julian Capriles and Joseph Underberg. Along with some returning freshmen, the Orange hope to gain new players and find ways to integrate everyone within the team.

United States Military Academy

A four-time New York Division champion (1998, 1999, 2001, 2002), the United States Military Academy finished third in the division a year ago and will seek to return to the title game for the first time since four consecutive appearances from 2006-to-2009.

NORTH ATLANTIC DIVISION Amherst College

After a strong showing in 2011, Amherst College comes into the season looking to defend its North Atlantic Conference title with a strong defensive game. Following the graduation of three key contributors, the senior class and co-captain Dan Paltiel will lead the team with the help of an especially large junior class headed by AllAmerica Second Team selection Connor McAuliffe and co-captains Caryln Robertson and Peter Landefeld. The sophomore class looks to build on a freshman year that saw substantial playing time and provided both offensive and defensive play-making abilities.

loss of last season’s senior co-captains, All-America First Team selection Benji Koltai and All-America Honorable Mention pick Alex Strittmatter, the young team will be working toward a division Championship and national attention. Juniors Austin Wood, Inbar Fried and Chris Langbort, along with sophomore Justin Choi, are significant threats on the offensive end. Juniors Kyle Savidge and Steve Lessard, as well as Choi, will see time in goal this season, providing a strong, consistent and deep set of goalies. Wood and Lessard, who both earned All-Conference Second Team honors in 2011, will form the core of the team on both ends of the pool. While the upperclassmen are filling voids after the loss of a strong senior class, the incoming freshmen should contribute to the transition game.

United States Coast Guard Academy

Bates College

Bates College finished fourth in the North Atlantic Division a year ago and continues to rise in the division ranks. Every member of the team is an essential component and plays a huge role in why this club is recognized as a formidable opponent. Hosting at home this year may also help give the squad an edge in the early part of the season.

The United States Coast Guard Academy is proud to have its largest team ever for the 2012 season. Captains Geoy Thomas and Isaak Olson, along with seniors Harrison Carter, Chris Clifton, Dan Graf, and Nicholas Poehler, will lead a team with over 20 returning players.. Juniors include Eric Bonomi, Bear Johannsen, Scotty Kenney, Cameron Lanphere, Marc McAndrew, goalie Ryan Montvydas, Marco Tinari and Charlie Totten.

Bowdoin College

University of Massachusetts

Led by All-America selection and captain Spencer Vespole, a dynamic shooter and defender, Bowdoin College hopes to expand on last season’s North Atlantic Division and Division III National Collegiate Club Championship runner-up finishes. Vespole is joined by a number of talented seniors in Bowdoin’s bid for a second straight D-III Championship bid. All-America goalie Alex Edison is sturdy behind the cage, while co-captain Basyl Stuyvesant’s exquisite speed and defense frustrates his opponents. Co-captain EJ Googins’ blend of size and shooting makes him a nightmare for defenders. Similar to last season, the Polar Bears expect to win via defense with post defenders Colin Kennedy and Danny Byrnes controlling the interior. Rounding out Bowdoin’s roster are returning sprinters Chris Granata and Linc Rhodes, and gifted passer/zone defender, Patty Boyer.

Colby College

The Mules of Colby College are starting this season with a rebuilding mindset. Last year, Colby had a seventh place finish in a competitive North Atlantic Division but only two starters return for another try at the title. Goalie Andrew Hedberg and fellow seniors James Hootsman and Kayleigh Monahan return from abroad hoping to lead a young team in the Mules’ recently redone pool. Sophomores Liam Connell, Olivia Lang, Paul Wennberg and Anne Schechner will see considerable playing time, while professor Kerill O’Neill will be a priceless asset in the water.

The University of Massachusetts water polo club is excited to begin its sixth year in the Collegiate Water Polo Association as a club program. UMass comes into the 2012 season with an almost entirely new starting lineup after placing sixth place in the North Atlantic Division a year ago. As only two starters return, senior Adam Gajkowski and junior Alex Niemeyer will need to lead a young team comprised of mostly sophomores and juniors with hopes of building the Minutemen for future years. Although the team may be young and small, they have a great chemistry and dedication to making this one of UMass’s most successful seasons.

University of Vermont

Following a disappointing ninth place finish in the North Atlantic Division, the University of Vermont will continue to rebuild its program to rank among the upper echelon of teams in the nation. With hard work and tireless recruiting, Vermont hopes to build up its roster for a National Collegiate Club Championship run in the coming years.

Saint Michael’s College

NORTHWEST DIVISION

strong players and administrators to graduation over the past two seasons. To be competitive, Washington will need to fill those vacancies both in and out of the pool with a group of talented, young and enthusiastic players. Due to a strong recruiting effort, the team has added talent capable of helping the Huskies remain competitive far into the future. In the near term, seniors Joe Laird and Peter Zajac anchor the program in the field. Goalie Christopher Lim will also aid Washington in building off its past successes for another try at the Northwest plaque.

Central Washington University

After being unable to participate in the Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) last season, Central Washington University is ready to be a powerhouse in the Northwest Division. Although outside of league competition in 2011, CWU still managed to recruit new players and build its program. The team is excited to see what they can do and accomplish this year in the division.

Oregon State University

Oregon State University is coming off a rough championship tournament where a 9-7 loss to the University of Washington kept the fourth place Beavers from returning to the Northwest Division title game. The 2010 division runner-up, OSU is once again excited about its prospects for success as the team will host the 2012 National Collegiate Club Championship and is guaranteed the program’s first berth to the National Championship field since capturing the 2003 division title.

University of California-Los Angeles University of Oregon

A six-time division champion in eight title game appearances, the University of Oregon Ducks were disappointed with last year’s final result at the National Collegiate Club Championship as the team placed 10th. Although the Ducks lost several key seniors, expectations for an Oregon title run are as lofty as ever. Led by Captain Aaron Bishow and Harrison Tingler, the team’s scoring numbers should not diminish. Jacob Warkov and Mathew Stang key the Ducks on defense as Oregon seeks to again suffocate opponents’ offensive games. Due to the Northwest Division hosting the National Championship tournament, Oregon hopes to capture a good seed and put on a show for its home state fans. One of the most successful programs on a National level over the past decade, the Ducks are out to prove something with a determined mindset to exceed expectations and finally make the top five at Nationals.

University of Washington (Wash.)

The University of Washington Huskies enter the season with an optimistic outlook towards the future of the club after making the 2011 Northwest Division title game. A seven-time division champion (1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2006, 2009), the Huskies lost some

The 2009 and 2010 National Champion UCLA Bruins look to rebuild in the aftermath of a disappointing third place finish in the Pacific Coast Division. One of two-teams in the history of men’s collegiate club play to repeat as National Champions, UCLA will depend on the leadership of senior captains Bill Farmer and Thomas Cornelius in the field. All-America netminder Mike Scott will be the key to the Bruins’ current National Championship hopes as games in the ultra-competitive Pacific Coast Division are often low-scoring affairs. Second-year players Scott Snyder and Ben Hendricks will aid on the offensive end. John Carney and Michael Olson will anchor the Bruins’ defense in front of Scott as UCLA seeks to make its fourth division title game appearance in the past five seasons.

University of California-San Diego

A Pacific Coast Division championship contender last season with the potential to make a more significant mark in the coming season, the University of California-San Diego is looking to build on its recent success.

University of Arizona “A”

Among the most successful programs in collegiate club water polo over the past 16-years, the University of Arizona holds 11 division championships (Southwest - 1996, 1997, 1999, 2000, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2009) and has appeared in 15 title games (Southwest Runner-Up - 1998, 2001, 2008, 2010) as last year marked the first time since the Wildcats founding that the team did not appear in a championship game.

University of Colorado “A”

University of San Diego

In just five years since joining the organization, the University of San Diego has made great strides in league play and the club expects to continue to improve and move up in the Pacific Coast Division standings. Change is rampant in San Diego as the team lost goalie JP Gross and offensive set Matt Becker. Due to the two most crucial positions in the game up for grabs, the team will need to step up and fill the positions. Sophomore Dylan Murphy is anxious to do so as the team’s primary goalie, while utility players Nick Klien, Matt Pim and Will Callas are gearing up to take over at set. On defense, San Diego is rock-solid thanks to the return of two-meter guard Steve Donoghue. Although boasting several veteran players, the team looks forward to the incoming freshmen to add depth for important games.

University of Southern California

The defending Pacific Coast Division and National Collegiate Club Champions after recording an 8-5 victory against Yale University last year at the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech), the Trojans of the University of Southern California begin a quest to repeat their 2011 undefeated season. 2011 Nationals Most Valuable Player Cem Carak highlights a roster that includes 20-players that helped the Trojans claim the program’s first collegiate club championship. Under the tutelage of Will Aggramonte, combined with the depth of its returning talent, the team will have a good shot to do so.

University of Colorado “B”

The University of Colorado “B” team will attempt to move up in the division standings after another strong finish a year ago.

University of Denver

In the wake of a fifth place finish in the Rocky Mountain Division last season, the University of Denver will rebuild as it lost 10 players to graduation and studying abroad. Only two starters return from the 2011 Pioneers. However, Denver is looking to gather a strong group of freshmen and new players to begin the process of building a squad capable of competing against the division’s perennial powers.

University of New Mexico

The University of New Mexico is no longer a small, novice team. The Lobos are looking to prove to the Rocky Mountain Division that good water polo can evolve from any group that has committed members, strong leaders and a drive to excel. Look to New Mexico for a strong 2012 season and a solid foundation for years to come.

ROCKY MOUNTAIN DIVISION Arizona State University

The University of Colorado is gunning for the fifth title in program history as the Buffaloes previously won pairs of Rocky Mountain (2008, 2010) and Southwest (1998, 2001) Division crowns. Colorado’s 30+ members work tirelessly to achieve numerous goals set forth at the beginning of the season, while still maintaining academic integrity. This season goals include winning the division, achieving a Top 10 national ranking and fueling the passion and development of water polo at the university. The club lost its goalie to graduation, but returns its other starting field players to once again rate as a National Championship contender.

Coming in with a completely new look this year, Arizona State University is a team not centered on just one key player. With many new faces and five returning players from the previous team, the Sun Devils will have a deep roster. ASU is looking to repeat as the division champions for the third straight year after capturing the 2010 Southwest and 2011 Rocky Mountain Division titles. The team has taken fifth at the National Collegiate Club Championship the past two years, but will work to become the first current Rocky Mountain Division member institution since the University of Arizona in 1996 to earn a spot in the title game. Captained by Kevin Dunn and Travis Addante, with a supporting cast that includes Travis Dunn, Alan Nguyen and Jordan Lunetta, the Sun Devils are looking to take the next step in the development of their collegiate club program. On defense, watch for new goalie Carlos Luabe to make a case for being the Rocky Mountain’s best goalie.

University of Utah

A six-time division runner-up (Rocky Mountain - 2008, 2010, 2011/ Southwest - 2003, 2004, 2005) and two-time champion (Rocky Mountain - 2007, 2009), the University of Utah would like to continue the tradition of success established by the prior Utes. Key to Utah’s current and future title hopes will be the squad’s ability to stop their opponents’ on the defensive end of the pool.

University of Wyoming

The University of Wyoming returns this season after showing major growth in competing at the level necessary to earn a spot into the National Collegiate Club Championship tournament. The team shows promise this year with All-Conference players Dan Sabirzyanov and William Ratz returning for another try at the division title.

Saint Mary’s College (Calif.)

Saint Mary’s College comes into this year with high hopes for strong league play. Boasting six returning starters, including goalie and cocaptain Ian Parelius, and a strong freshman class of six teammates and three high impact transfer students, the Gaels will be improved over the 2011 team. Strong leadership is provided by co-captains Parelius and utility player Chris McMonagle as the pair of veteran players have taken St. Mary’s on a new trajectory. A newly found commitment to the team has translated into an energetic atmosphere of camaraderie, hard work, dedication and teamwork. The Gaels hope this season will be marked with unprecedented success and mark the start of an ever expanding water polo program as the construction of a new competition water polo facility/pool begins this fall.

San Jose State University

San Jose State University’s success will depend upon the strengths of its underclassmen to begin the process of climbing the standings for an eventual shot at the Sierra Pacific Division title.

Stanford University

Entering the program’s sixth season as a part of the collegiate club ranks, Stanford University is a young and upcoming program consisting of both undergraduate and graduate level students. Established to grant those student-athletes that cannot play varsity water polo the opportunity to play organized and competitive games against local institutions and national powers, the Cardinal club promotes good health and physical fitness while fostering team camaraderie and school spirit. After hiring a new coach following an eighth place finish in the 2011 Sierra Pacific Division title hunt, Stanford hopes to recruit new players and finish in the top three within the division.

University of California-Berkeley

As experience among the team’s roster grows, so does the leadership of players like seniors Alex Robinson, Chris Chamberlin and Brett Kahler, which will help improve their competitiveness.

SIERRA PACIFIC DIVISION California State University-Chico

Last year’s heartbreaking 7-6 loss in the Sierra Pacific Division Championship game has fueled the California State University-Chico for another chance at the division title and automatic berth to the National Collegiate Club Championship tournament. “It was definitely a rough loss,” says coach Clifford Kunkel, “the kind of loss that you can only learn from...We have always loved playing Santa Cruz, but you better believe we are coming for them.” Seniors Cole Payan, Mike Craw and Kallie Wikman lead the team in and out of the pool along with lefty Ricky Niese and goalie Tyler Rettig. The addition of new talent, including a variety of exciting freshmen and a promising group of transfer students, will assist Chico in producing a strong program that will be a force to be reckoned with in the division.

The University of California-Berkeley comes back this year looking strong with 13 players returning from last season’s fourth place finish in the Sierra Pacific Division. The 2011 regular season champion, the Golden Bears are excited to get at it again with starters Noah Orloff, Christian Clark and goalie Jeneya Fertel among those returning for another shot at earning the program’s first berth to the National Collegiate Club Championship. The absence of former team captain and dominant post-player Spencer White will cause some issues, but Cal is changing its offense to a more multifaceted system that will include returning secondary and utility players along with a strong driving emphasis.

University of California-Davis

The University of California-Davis returns a roster full of talent and experience that will work to put the effort necessary to eliminate the memory of the Aggies 11-10 defeat in the 2011 Sierra Pacific Division semifinals to California State University-Chico. Plagued as always by a school year that starts late in the season, the team is excited about getting back into the pool and playing catch up with its competition. Although many players have been lost to graduation or a focus on academics, this diverse group will come into the season ready to work for a league title.

University of California-Santa Cruz California State University-Maritime Academy

California State University-Maritime Academy will once again take to the water as part of the Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) for a shot at glory and to improve on last year’s seventh place in the Sierra Pacific Division.

The University of California-Santa Cruz is returning from a strong 2011 season in which the Banana Slugs upset the University of California and California State University-Chico to take the Sierra Pacific Division title and earn place eighth at the National Collegiate Club Championship hosted by the Georgia Institute of Technology

(Georgia Tech). After becoming a sports club in 2008, UCSC has remained resilient in competition, winning a Division III National title in 2010. Graduating only four seniors, the current 10 Santa Cruz seniors make their last stand for glory with a healthy stock of young players ready to supply a solid foundation for the Slugs’ future title runs. Two-meter standout and captain Kyle Smith, who made the 2011 All-Tournament team at Georgia Tech, and seniors Gunther Gettelfinger (two-meters) and Blair MacDougall (goalie) will act as scoring and defensive catalysts. Seniors Dustin Johnson (utility) and Jacob Mitchell (utility), junior Ethan Pascual (utility) and sophomore Sean Shughrou (utility) will be counted on to step up their games and help their teammates contend for another Sierra Pacific title.

Georgia Institute of Technology

The defending Southeast Division champion, the Yellow Jackets of the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) return all of their starters. Leading the way are senior leaders Steven Winton, Steve Larson, Patrick Slane, Nicholas Thompson and Freddy Damen. In addition to the seniors, strong corps of juniors, sophomores and freshmen will have a significant impact on the team’s title hopes. Goalies Neal Laxpati and Michael O’Rourke both have three-years of experience in the division and are poised for another strong run. The addition of coach Benny Twynham only adds to Georgia Tech’s potential for repeating as the Southeast Division’s best squad.

University of Georgia

The University of Georgia holds the upcoming 2012 season in high regards. With the motto “Finish”; the team is ready to reclaim a division championship which some of the team’s members got a taste of two years ago. The starting six players are not afraid to take a shot from the outside, which will hopefully lead to a strong offensive team. Senior Drew Duckett will hold down the cage on the defensive end as one of the strongest goalies in the division. Strength off the bench will play an important role in the team’s record this year as a group of new players join the team. Leading the ranks is freshman Kevin Hughes, who is taking the initiative to lead his teammates to victory, along side of returning Bulldogs’ Phong Nguyen, Wilson Couture, Chris Mauer, Alex Lembeck and senior Graham Kellams.

University of Tennessee

The University of Tennessee could be the surprise of the division as the Volunteers are a young and maturing team that has the potential to shock the division. Every key player from last year’s team returns for the Vols, while some new blood will help revamp the squad for the future.

Vanderbilt University

SOUTHEAST DIVISION Auburn University

Following a few years of rebuilding, Auburn University is looking forward to the upcoming season after finishing fifth at the 2011 Southeast Division Championship tournament.

Clemson University

Clemson University comes into the season with eyes on rebuilding a strong presence in the league. Although the Tigers graduated four key seniors, they are excited to have a returning core to guide a significant freshman class. Among the returning athletes is graduate student Gunit Bedi; seniors Philip Chesney, Connie Previti, Michael Reitz, and Tyler Leaphart; juniors Megan Doherty, Steven Ireton and Ryan Beliles; and sophomores Brian Peterson, Xander Huynh, and Eric McGuirk. Although they might miss the fish they practiced with last year, they won’t miss the murky wavy waters of Lake Hartwell.

Emory University

In its third year back in the league, Emory University seeks to exceed last year’s second place finish in the division. The Eagles, who earned a spot at the National Collegiate Club Championship due to Southeast Division champion the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) hosting the event, finished in a tie for 15th at Nationals in the program’s first appearance against the Collegiate Water Polo Association division champions.

Vanderbilt University’s continues to seek its first Southeast Division title in their four-year history in the league. Following a trio of top three finishes in the Southeast Division, the squad will rely on its experience, superior depth and defensive play to capture the division championship. Returning 2010 All-Conference Second Team selection and team captain Chris Watkins, 2011 All-Conference Second Team selection Mitch Boynton and seniors Patra Katsigiannis and Katie Kahlbaugh will lead the team. Juniors Luke Walker and Richard Droghini aim to continue their significant contributions on both sides of the pool, while sophomores Scott Feder, Matthew Valliencourt, Kelsey Karas, Kyle Deland and Emma Kelly add depth and youthful exuberance.

TEXAS DIVISION Baylor University

Baylor University returns the core of its 2011 team and looks to build on its past experiences to contend for the title. Replacing twotime All-Texas goalie Brian Sanders will be a priority, but sophomore Richard Hansen appears ready to fill the void. Senior Will Havens and junior Luke Harle will likely carry the load on offense. However, look for key contributions from a talented group of incoming freshmen.

Louisiana State University

The first team from the state of Louisiana in the Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) in several years, Louisiana State University embarks on its inaugural year in the league and third as an organization

at LSU. Returning starters include Ricky Carnicle, Anthony Cane, Chad Lowe, Peter Bernzen, Tony Frey and Joesph Bergmeister. In its first two active years, the club has enjoyed competing in invitationals around the South and is excited to be playing in the conference with a championship on the line. The team has a coaching staff consisting of accomplished former players from Southern Illinois University, The United States Naval Academy, University of California and is welcoming a fourth coach from the University of Richmond. The sport has become more widely recognized in Baton Rouge, thus successful recruitment has allowed the team to maintain an impressive roster. The success of this team having grown strongly in a part of the country where water polo is rare makes this team very notable.

Texas Tech University

Texas Tech University begins the new season with a fresh look, as many of the starting seven from 2011 graduated, including Taylor Whipple, John Cogliandro and Johjanes Griffith. With several other players not returning such as Jake Hines, Damien Hines and Jake Bundy, the Red Raiders will need to rebuild the majority of its roster. The team may not be the same, but the goal is, as Texas Tech strives to remain champions of the Texas Division after the school’s first title in 2012.

University of Houston

The University of Houston enters the season with high hopes of improving on the program’s third-place finish at the 2011 Texas Division Championship and challenging for an opportunity to represent Rice University the Texas Division at the National Collegiate Club Championship in Rice University begins the season with an optimistic outlook.

Texas A&M University hopes to continue its recent success as the Aggies won the Texas Division in back-to-back seasons (2007, 2008) and qualified for four straight division title games (2007, 2008, 2009, 2010). However, the Aggies come into the 2012 season on a rebuilding mission under new coach Chris Budvitis. Following the loss of numerous seniors two years ago, Texas A&M continues to revitalize its roster and administration as a new president and several new faces join the Aggies.

Led by captains Kieran Kapila and Jonathan Berezin, the team will put forth its top players with a strong mindset of competition and skill. Many players have been playing together for over four years with excellent coordination and teamwork. Expect UT players to be in the hunt again for a division title.

Texas State University

Among a group of programs that are growing into their potential as future National Collegiate Club Championship contenders, Texas State University will need to overcome four-time division champion Texas A&M University, seven-time winner the University of Texas and reigning champion Texas Tech University to brand its mark on the Texas Division landscape.
