UNDERSTANDING THE GAME OF 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. 2013 Men’s Guide Table of Contents About the CWPA..................................................................Pages 2-3 CWPA Timeline.........................................................................

WATER POLO 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 one 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 in the 1970’s. Its founding membership included teams from Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and New York. The conference relied on volunteer coaches until 1990, when it hired a commissioner to perform basic scheduling for the 15 member teams. Officiating assignments at the time were performed by an independent organization called the Eastern Water Polo Referees Association (EWPRA). The next major milepost occurred in 1993, when the Southern and New England Conferences merged into the Mid Atlantic. The new structure combined all of the varsity teams in the East, along with the few sport clubs in existence at that time.

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

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

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

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

In addition to the NCAA and NAIA there are conferences that operate for the purpose of arranging competition for their member institutions. Some conferences, like the Big East, Mountain West or Atlantic Coast Conferences, handle several sports, while others like the CWPA handle a single sport. With respect to water polo, all collegiate clubs that are eligible for the National Collegiate Club Championship are members of the CWPA. To understand the difference between the league and the NCAA or NAIA, think of the conference on a smaller scale performing similar functions for its member institutions. The conference works with the national governing bodies (NCAA and NAIA) to help provide competitive opportunities and services, yet remains an independent organization with its own governing system and budget.

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

Non-scholastic organizations include all other entities that provide the opportunity for people to be involved in the sport outside of an educational institution. These include YMCAs, Boys & Girls Clubs, parks & recreation programs, privately organized clubs, township/city programs and independent organizations like American Water Polo. United States Water Polo fits under this category as well, serving as the National Governing Body for the sport. They are also responsible for Today the conference fields over 280 teams nationwide, with supporting and training Olympic teams for men and women. four full-time staff members, as well as interns in sports photography, multimedia, sports information, marketing and event For more information about any specific organization, con- management. tact the CWPA office at 610-277-6787.

Tie Breaker System - All Situations

If at any time two teams are tied in regular season record or goal differential in the tie breaker system below, the result of their head-to-head competition breaks the tie.

Tie Breaker System - Two 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 Differential

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.

Southeast Division

Teams play a single round robin schedule over two weekends

CWPA

VARSITY TEAM PROFILES

NORTHERN DIVISION Brown University

The Bears of Brown University aim to improve upon last year’s 29-4 record, fifth-place finish at the Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) Championship and year-end No. 14 national ranking. A glance down Brown’s schedule reveals the CWPA Championship on November 22-24, which the Bears will host this season. Despite a grueling conference schedule wedged between the season opener and November’s championship, Mercado and the Bears have visions of hoisting the CWPA Championship plaque in their home pool. The Bears will miss the on-command scoring of four-time AllAmerica selection Svetozar Stefanovic, who graduated in 2012 after his fourth-straight CWPA Northern Division Player of the Year nod. This year’s roster is stocked with suitable heirs to the title of Brown’s top offensive threat and Mercado notes that many players have adjusted to new roles for the greater good of the team. Junior Henry Fox is the team’s top returning scorer after sinking 67 goals and landing on the Northern Division First Team in 2012. Senior James McNamara, also a First Team All-Northern Division pick, dished out more assists (71) and snagged more steals (63) than anyone on last year’s squad, while junior Nick Deaver eclipsed the 40goal and 40-assist mark in 2012. Mercado claims Fox will expand his role defensively and McNamara will be called upon to score more goals in 2013. Senior goalie Walker Shockley, who Mercado calls the most consistent goalie he’s ever coached, is primed to protect the net again after making 159 saves and stopping 59 percent of opposing shots during last year’s campaign.

Connecticut College

Entering the program’s 13th season as a varsity sport, the Camels of Connecticut College begin 2013 with high expectations of becoming the first school in league history to capture the Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) Division III titles in both men’s and women’s competition. Connecticut will have a tough road ahead to perennial powers Johns Hopkins University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for the program’s inaugural men’s Division III crown, while also attempting to make a run at finishing among the Top Three teams at the Northern Division Championship to clinch a berth to the CWPA Championship at Brown University.

Fordham University

Following a campaign last season which saw the Rams finish 7-20 with a sixth place mark at the Northern Division Championship to miss out on qualifying for the then eight-team Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) Championship, Fordham University will aim to make another run at the program’s first league title in 2013. Due to the tournament expanding to 12-teams in 2013, the Rams road to Providence, R.I. and the 2013 CWPA Championship hosted by Brown University is no easier than last year, if not more difficult in the ultra-competitive Northern Division. Only three teams from the Northern Division are guaranteed automatic berths in the field, a decrease from last year’s championship field that gave the Top Four team in both the Southern and Northern Divisions slots in the eightteam field. However, even if the Rams do not finish among the Top Three squads at the Northern Championship, the team can still qualify

for the field, as four teams will be selected by the CWPA’s Varsity Governance Council for At-Large berths. Due to the At-Large possibilities, Fordham’s meetings against the Southern Division schools carry additional weight if the Rams are destined for a title run at the CWPA Championship. For 10th year head coach Bill Harris, the key to making another trip to the postseason will rely on his program’s ability to gel veteran leadership and youthful promise. Among the returning starters, Nicholas Allen is coming off a 2012 season in which he led the team with 48 goals and 64 points, while recording 22 steals and six field blocks on the defensive end of the tank. In cage, 2012 CWPA All-Northern Division Second Team selection Noah LeBeau is coming off a junior season in which he appeared in 25 of 27 games, making a career-high 199 saves over the year for the sixth-highest mark in program history. In addition to Allen and LeBeau, watch for Ben Clinkinbeard, Dan Kearney, Patrick Reyes, Davis DeFontes and freshman RJ Simmons, among others, to be components of Fordham’s quest for the league championship.

Harvard University

Harvard University, which finished seventh at last year’s Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) Championship tournament, will open the 2013 campaign looking to improve upon a 15-19 overall record and a 4-2 Northern Division mark in 2012. After losing two seniors to graduation, the Crimson returns a strong group of players including Ben Zepfel, who earned the Northern Division Rookie of the Week Award four-times last season and led the Crimson with 78 goals. The offense will also rely upon Blake Lee (62 goals, 57 assists), Noah Harrison (58 goals, 39 assists) and John Holland-McCowan (41 goals, 5 assists). The defense will be anchored by senior goalie Jimmy Field who tallied 166 saves last season and sophomore goalie Colin Woolway who had 172 saves. Head coach Ted Minnis added four freshmen to the roster for the upcoming season as Harvard continues to build towards being a power in the league.

Iona College

After a strong preseason and offseason program, the Iona College men’s water polo team is headed upwards under the direction of 19th year head coach Brian Kelly as the team aims to make waves in the Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA). This season with a renewed focus on communication and defensive strategy, along with a large roster of hardworking players, the Gaels hope to be in the hunt all season for the CWPA Championship. The offense will be led by junior Jake Lloyd who scored 64 goals a season ago to earn CWPA All-Northern Division Second Team honors. He will be helped along the perimeter by junior Kyle Elmore, sophomore Zach Presto and junior Jimmy Ramaley. Elmore found the net 32 times a season ago while Ramaley scored 18 goals and Presto added 17 of his own. Inside, the two-meter offense will be led by junior Ian Thompson, as well as Presto. Adding depth to the position will be senior Lee Stiles. Stiles can play both inside and out, but has shown an ability to pose problems for the opposition with his ability to attack at two-meters. Stiles is coming off a 43 point season on 23 goals and 20 assists in 2012. Senior Bryan Driscoll added 20-plus pounds to his frame from last season and with his ability to score on step-outs, will be tough to defend. Defensively, the Gaels will be led by senior goalkeeper Stefen Hill, entering his fourth season as the Iona starter. with 209 saves a year ago and 654 stops in

15


his career. Behind Hill, the Gaels also have junior Mike Pufunt and sophomore Matt McCruden as potential options in net. At two-meters, the Gaels will look from contributions from Lloyd and senior Matthew Stelnicki. Stelnicki is described by Kelly as “the hardest worker on the team” and will outwork the opposition’s two-meters. Lloyd’s leg strength is as good as anyone’s and will cause problems for the opposition’s front court with his strength. Senior Jonathan Hernould and Presto are center defenders who can play either a physical or quick game at two-meters. Kelly noted that senior Sean Davis and Ramaley have helped to bring a new level of leadership in the water helping everyone get on the same page. Rounding out the squad’s depth will be increased roles for juniors Nicholas Joslyn and Eric Corley, who stood out during training camp with their shooting. Sophomore transfer Gerardo Sanchez Rivera and freshman Elerick Curet are a pair of Puerto Rico National Team players that show promise, along with freshmen Matt Rothman and Hudson Grieve. Rothman is a fast swimmer and lefty shooter, while Grieve is solid on both sides of the ball. Others to watch include Will Diemer, a scorer who plays high in the water, Patrick Dougherty at two-meters, Chris Ellis’ ability as shooter and defender, Dan Fleck, who is expected to be a primary two-meter defender, and Dominick Mirt, who has solid overall skills and is physical on both sides of the ball.

Massachusetts Institute of Technology

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology Engineers come into the 2013 season with a great balance of young players and returners. A young team ready to make a mark on the Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) Northern Division and CWPA Championship standings, the Engineers ended last season with a record of 11-14. The top three goal scorers from last season in Kale Rogers (77 goals), Ory Tasman (64 goals) and Craig Cheney (56 goals) all return to the pool in hopes of leading MIT to the program’s seventh Division III Championship and first CWPA crown. On the bench, a new face takes over the Engineers as former University of Southern California and Johns Hopkins University assistant coach Ivan Ivocic will aim to raise MIT to the level of the reigning National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) and CWPA Division III Champions.

Saint Francis College

2012 was a banner one for the Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) Champion Terriers of St. Francis College Brooklyn as the team defeated the United States Air Force Academy by a 14-8 final score to capture third place at the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) tournament. The first ever win for St. Francis at the NCAA tournament, the third place mark was a start and not the final goal. This season’s squad looks to build on their previous successes as the Terriers return a number of key contributors. One noticeable change from last year’s team is the arrival of new head coach Srdjan Mihaljevic who replaces Igor Samardzija. Mihaljevic graduated from St. Francis in 2001 and has served as the assistant coach for the women’s program at St. Francis since graduation. “As everybody knows, defending the championship is always more difficult than winning it the first time,” said Mihaljevic. “Therefore, we will need effort from the whole team throughout the season in order to repeat last year’s success. Certainly, the team has the potential to accomplish this goal and we are not running away from the role of being a favorite. Despite the change in leadership, Mihaljevic does not anticipate a huge change in strategy and style. “There will not be much change in our style this year versus how we played last year or in the years before for that matter. While we graduated two players, with Marko Gencic being a particularly tough loss, the core of the team stays the same. I am not planning to reinvent the wheel.” Returning in the cage for his senior season will be 2012 Third Team

All-America pick Igor Mladenovic, who has led the Terriers to a pair of NCAA Final Four berths in his first three seasons. Among the returners in the field, Bosko Stankovic returns to lead the offense. The recruiting season proved fruitful as several outstanding talents were added to the roster. Hungarian utility player Andras Kovascz and back-up Serbian goalie Aleksandar Gavric should play a big role. Additionally, during this last spring semester three other players (Lazar Komadinic - transfer; Ilija Djuretic - freshman from Serbia; Nathan Kotylak - transfer from Canada) started attending the school and will see playing time this coming fall.

SOUTHERN DIVISION, EASTERN REGION Bucknell University

Bucknell University lost only two seniors to graduation following the program’s first appearance in the Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) title game since 1993. However, those two seniors were Honorable Mention All-America selection Brian Barron and current professional goalie Matt Napleton. The Bison return plenty of firepower, though, as four players have registered at least 100 career points and another has 98 entering the 2013 campaign. Honorable Mention All-America honoree Jack Else (55 goals in 2012) and Mike Kimble (48 goals in 2012) will once again share time at the center spot. Leading scorer and CWPA Championship Rookie of the Tournament Stefan Aleksic returns for his sophomore season after piling up 101 points as a freshman. Senior lefthander Alex Nowlin enters the campaign nine assists shy of 10th place on Bucknell’s career list. Senior Julian Colina and Nick Hale are also returning members of the starting lineup, while junior Keegan Williams will take over in cage for Napleton following two years as an understudy.

George Washington University

George Washington University scored over 300 goals for the second straight season in 2012, and 86 percent of that offense is back, including the Colonials’ top six scorers from a year ago. GW’s 13 returning letter-winners - led by nine upperclassmen - have combined to score 689 goals in their careers, and 15th-year head coach Scott Reed hopes that this is the year that his squad puts it all together. Leading the attack will be seniors Daniel Tyner and Nate Little, who have consistently found the back of the net in their first three seasons in the Buff and Blue. Sophomore Bogdan Petkovic had a big rookie campaign last fall, shattering the program’s single-season steals record with 96 en route to Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) Southern Division Rookie of the Year and All-America honorable mention accolades. Four-year starting goalkeeper Cameron Illes graduated in May, but sophomore Connor Dillon is ready to step into the starting role.

Johns Hopkins University

Johns Hopkins University will be a team in transition after the graduation of the most successful class in school history and three AllAmerica selections. Kielan Crow, Ross Schofield and Alex Whittam led Johns Hopkins to 76 wins and three Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) Division III Championships in their career. The Blue Jays will look to continue the program’s tradition of success with 14 talented underclassmen and five experienced upperclassmen from last year’s squad that went 25-9. JHU will need to fill some big shoes on offense as last year’s senior class combined for 709 goals and 426 assists during their tenure at Homewood. The Blue Jays will be led by senior captains Steven Kingery and Thomas de Lyon in their quest to qualify for the CWPA Championship in November

16


at Brown University. Kingery scored 21 goals with a career-best 31 assists to go along with 30 steals last season, while de Lyon scored 29 goals and added 16 assists. Junior Wes Hopkins is the leading returning scorer for the Jays after scoring 54 goals and handing out 30 assists last season. Sophomore Blake Range led all freshmen a year ago with 33 goals, while classmate Kevin Yee dished 30 helpers. Defensively, Hopkins leads all returners with 43 steals, just three more than junior goalie Danny Ovelar. Freshmen Matthew Frazier, Conner Johnson and Giovanni Cragnotti should provide valuable minutes to this year’s campaign. Ovelar, a 2011 All-America selection, will anchor the defense with help from former high school AllAmerica pick Erik Henrikson. Ovelar posted a .533 save percentage last season, while also swiping 40 steals. Henrikson saw action in 38 quarters as a rookie with a .520 save percentage and 30 steals.

Princeton University

an offensive-minded defender who tied for the team lead in points among freshmen in 2012 with 15 (1 goal, 14 assists). He will be counted on as one of the younger players ready to take the next step this season. “Lucas MacLellan will probably be our No. 1 center defender,” said Schofield. “Steve Emde can play there as well.” At 6-7, the sophomore Emde provides a large frame as he continues to develop at the position. “Jared Griffin, a senior, is also available at the center position; he can get in there and give us a boost,” said Schofield. Sophomore Kyle Koenig and freshman Brendan Metcalf will provide depth defensively. Second-year players Robert Sutherland (12 goals, 8 assists) and Weggeland (14 goals, 10 assists) were the only plebes to score at least 20 points in 2012 and are expected to make an impact at center, along with freshmen David Huber and Evan Staresinic. In cage, a total of seven Mids will vie for the job. “We’re trying to solidify the starting position. Garrett Sabesky has performed well lately and Beau Bayless and Tyler Barker have also been in the mix,” said Schofield. Bayless, who is also a sophomore, saw action in five contests in 2012, yielding three goals on 13 shots. Barker is a junior and has the most experience of any returning goalkeeper as he appeared in 18 games, with a career goals-against average just below .500. Senior Eugene Chang and junior Vikram Kanth both saw action in six games last year, while Sophomores Caleb Lintz and Joseph Rodgers will also compete for playing time.

Princeton University returns to action reenergized with a veteran lineup and three skilled newcomers. After falling short of making the Southern Division and Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) Championship title games last year in placing third at both tournaments, the Tigers will aim to win their fourth conference crown and earn the program’s fifth bid to the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Championship in program history in 2013. Princeton will be led by co-captains senior Kurt Buchbinder SOUTHERN DIVISION, WESTERN REGION and junior All-America Drew Hoffenberg. Hoffenberg will again be looked to headline the attack, building off his team-leading 65 steals and 63 goals performance in 2012. The lineup will be bolstered by the return of All-America sophomore Thomas Nelson, who missed Gannon University last season. In goal, Princeton will be able to rely on the experienced Gannon University returns nine letter-winners from last year’s squad that finished 8-11 overall and 7-3 in the Collegiate Water Polo Astandem of Ben Dearborn and Alex Gow. sociation (CWPA) Southern Division-Western Region.

Monmouth College

Head coach Josh Dunn and his men’s water polo team remain anxious to open a new chapter in Monmouth College sports history. Expectations are high after Monmouth’s club team won the Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) Division III National Collegiate Club Championship last fall. Dunn returns the majority of that squad, including himself, although this season instead of being a player-coach, he’ll be prowling the pool deck and learning the ropes as a varsity coach. Dunn’s experienced roster includes five of the seven starters and eight of the 13 members from last year’s club championship team. The Scots should be solid in goal where both “great” goalkeepers from last year – junior Marshall Palfenier and sophomore Alex Hernandez – return. The Scots are bolstered in the pool by seniors Gabe Baginski, Tony Marino and Chris Falkenrath. Monmouth’s other returners with club championship team experience are juniors Matt Smith – who didn’t take up the sport until enrolling at Monmouth – and sophomores Neal Hosper and Raheem Brown, last year’s Division III Club Tournament Most Valuable Player. Not only does Dunn have national tournament experience on the roster, he’s also done the recruiting legwork to bring in a crop of freshmen with national experience. Freshmen Kyle Bradberry, Ian Salveson, Kameron Simmons-Gill and Matt Engebretsen are all products of the Olympic Development Program (ODP).

Notre Dame College

The Falcons of Notre Dame College enter their second National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) season with just three seniors and a total of eight returning players. Anchored by senior leadership, Notre Dame looks to continue to make a mark on the Southern Division with the addition of a strong recruiting class. Senior captain Vanja Kopilas plans to follow up his previous AllAmerica season and continue to lead the Falcons into uncharted territory as they take on one of the tougher schedules in their four years as a program. With the help on the offensive end from senior Milan Burkus and sophomore Jonathan Cubillos, the Falcons will have a balanced offensive attack. On the defensive end, senior goalie Istvan Cseh will continue to be a mainstay in the cage serving as the foundation of the team’s strong defense. The Falcons are looking forward to what the 2013 season has in store for them and are eager to show what they can do in the Southern Division.

Pennsylvania State University-Erie, The Behrend College

joins Wells for his second season as captain. A two-time Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) Division II All-Tournament Team selection, Kovacev has scored 30 goals in each of his two seasons for the squad. Jorge Flores scored 60 goals in his freshman season and was selected twice as the Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) Southern Division Rookie of the Week, while Kristopher Arnold returns to defend the net for the Tigers after registering 200 saves in the 2012 season. Newcomers for the 2013 season include Michal Izdinsky, Paul Irving and Michael Ebenkamp. A lefthander, Izdinskyis spent time with the French National Team and has played in the FINA World League, the European Championships and the World University Games in 2011.

Under the leadership of Jay O’Neil last season, the Washington & Jefferson College Presidents earned their most victories (nine) since 2009. The squad hopes to inch closer to the program’s first Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) Division III Championship this fall after placing second in 2007, 2009 and 2011. W&J played its way to a fourth-place finish last year and with a group of 17 returners mixed with seven newcomers, the Presidents are poised for a run at the title. With a fairly young squad, O’Neil will rely on seniors Dan Francisco, Brendan Lesniak and Nick Thorneloe to provide leadership. Mike Magdic returns for his junior campaign after leading the team with 71 goals. He earned selections to the Capital One College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) Academic AllDistrict squad, the Association of Collegiate Water Polo Coaches (ACWPC ) Division III All-America team and was a member of the Division III Championship All-Tournament First Team squad. A player who has created scoring chances during his first two seasons, Magdic is two goals shy of 100 for his career. The Presidents will have plenty of offensive punch around Magdic with three of their top-five scorers returning. Sophomore Kevin Dunigan made a splash in his rookie season, ranking second on the team in goals (44) and setting a school record with 86 drawn ejections. Classmate Ben McGrath finished among the top five in goals (25) and assists (11). Another part of the offense, junior Carl Krause, also returns to the pool. Krause produced a number of scoring opportunities for W&J last season, notching 31 goals and a team-best 26 assists. The goalkeeping duties will be split by Francisco and junior Chris DeNunzio. Francisco logged the most minutes, but O’Neil established a system that worked last season, sharing time between the two netminders as Francisco totaled 159 saves, while DeNunzio produced 93.

The Lions of Penn State-Behrend are looking to cause a few upsets as the season kicks off. The loss of three-time All-America selection Ali Khan, who led the Lions in goals (67) and drawn kickouts (40) last season, takes away a large portion of the Behrend Lions’ offensive firepower. However, with only two juniors on a 12-man roster, youth and promise will be the calling cards for Penn State Behrend in 2013.

Players from last year that look to see an increased role this year include senior Kevin Rollinson, juniors Alex Madison, Clark McCloud and Michael Dickey, as well as sophomore Josh Horner. The last slots for playing time on the Pack’s roster will be filled after an open competition between several returning and newly arrived players.

United States Naval Academy

The Midshipmen of the United States Naval Academy enter their second season as members of the Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) in a rebuilding mode. After a strong showing in their first season that placed them second in the Atlantic Division, the Mids hope to keep up the trend and possibly contend for a berth to

the National Collegiate Club Championship, despite losing most of their starting line-up. The team will rely heavily upon veteran goalies Bryce Sheldon and Brennen Jaeb to lead the defense and will also look to juniors Sam Fitzmaurice and David Hasegan to power the offense throughout the season. Added depth to the roster should help the Naval Academy be competitive once again in 2013.

University of Maryland

The University of Maryland comes into this season looking to build upon and surpass a frustrating 2012 finish. The Atlantic Division regular season champion and the No. 1 seed for the division championship tournament, a 12-11 defeat at the hands of the United States Naval Academy ended the Terrapins hopes of becoming the seventh program in the 14-year history of the Atlantic Division to capture the championship and an automatic berth to the National Collegiate Club Championship. This year, Maryland will aim to erase the memories of its fifth place finish in the final division standings and claim the division championship which slipped away in 2012.

University of North Carolina

The three-time defending Atlantic Division champion, the Tarheels of the University of North Carolina are no strangers to the upperechelon of the division as UNC holds four crowns (2004, 2010, 2011, 2012) in six title game appearances (2002, 2003, 2004, 2010, 2011, 2012). Despite losing former captain Rob Boland, UNC returns six of seven starting players and looks to win their fourth consecutive Atlantic Conference Championship this year. A prolific offense led by Stefanos Kehagias, Kyle Manger and Andrew Ireland should be able to provide plenty of firepower for the Heels. The defense is anchored by Steve Sinclair in goal, with help from defender Danny Trotier. The Tar Heels will rely heavily on younger players Daniel Wilco, Dylan Blackwell, Drew Findley and Thacher Inglefield to round out the starting six. In addition to a seasoned front line, North Carolina has added many young players who will contribute as they learn the game. Due to Adam Moore adding years of experience at the coaching position and instilling a solid work ethic in practice, the Heels will be a difficult champion for conference opponents to knock off.

BIG TEN DIVISION Indiana University

Indiana University hopes to return to the title game of the Big Ten Division Championship tournament following a runner-up mark in 2012. The Hoosiers will feature many strong new players under the leadership of new head coach, Zach White, and returning seniors Will Rigali, Kyle Anderson, Luca Pasquesi and Bryce Tobias.

The Spartans will strive to improve upon the previous season’s fourth place finish in the Big Ten Division. A three-time National Collegiate Club Champion (2000, 2006, 2008) and five-time club tournament finalist (2000, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008), the Spartans have a storied history of success at both the division and National Championship levels. New head coach and former All-America player Mike Scarcelli will work to return the program to the level of excellence expected of the Spartans following a two-year division championship drought. Building upon the strong returning core from last year’s team and capitalizing on some key new talent, Michigan State and Scarcelli have a division title on their minds. Paramount to the club claiming its 11th Big Ten championship, including their seventh in the past nine seasons of competition, will be the quality of players in the water. Key returning athletes include Drew Stoffel, Josh Jackson, Austin Daugherty, Nick LeVeque, Tom Meyer and Nate Case. The team will also look to drivers Cam Casher, Greg Koheler and sets Lucas Wilson and Dan Kubeck, as depth and experience will continue to be one of the strong points of their program.

Following a fourth place finish at last year’s Atlantic Division Championship tournament, the Hokies are primed to earn a spot in the National Collegiate Club Championship field. Led by returning starter and Honorable Mention All-America selection Matt Sylvester, Virginia Tech brings a strong starting six players to the field. Juniors Mike Feihe and Nate Peters, along with sophomore Ryan Staton, look to improve on their play and get the Hokies back to the top of the division for the first time since 2009. Standout goalie Taylor Blair looks to improve on his impressive season from

One of the rising teams in the ultra-competitive Big Ten Division, Purdue University is an enigma. As always, the team has a great amount of individual talent, but utilizing that talent to achieve a greater goal has always been a challenge. The biggest obstacle for the team has not been the talent of their starting six, but always the depth of the bench that supports them. For this reason it is always difficult to predict how the Boilermakers will fare at the Big Ten Division Championship tournament. The leaders of the team - Kai Rounds, Tommy Poulos and Kevin Coppel - believe that this season’s team has the deepest bench in the history of the Boilermakers’ program. It is hard to say how well the team will fare come October, but the standards and expectations by which they will be measured are set at an all-time high.

University of Illinois

The Fighting Illini of the University of Illinois are younger and hungrier than ever.

Head Coach Tony Anderson, the 2011 Big Ten Division Coach of the Year, is in his third year with the two-time National Champions (1998, 2003). Overall, look for the Wolverines to be a strong competitor in the Big Ten Division once again.

University of Wisconsin

After losing veteran goalie Ryan Svoboda and finishing eighth in the final 2012 Big Ten Division standings, the University of Wisconsin Badgers return with a chip on their shoulder and fire in their hearts. Team leaders Connor Murphy, John Poelking and Dan Wolak aim to balance the drive of the returning players with the wealth of talent that recently joined the team to create one of the most dynamic water polo teams in program history. Junior Edgar Lopez will build on his All-Conference season as he anchors the offense from two-meters with skill, power and intuition. Outside threats like juniors Brandon Chic and Brian Andryk and drivers like seniors Lucas Bunzel and Justin Dembski will work to even out the offense. On defense, junior Maxx Akel and sophomore Evan Horn will labor to shut down opposing sets. Another year of experience will give younger players like sophomores Garrett Dow, Billy Walsh and Patrick Franken an opportunity to break out this season. The Badgers are coming into the 2013 season with a more veteran squad and a new mentality ready to shock the nation when they enter the pool.

Herzen was a standout high school player in Miami at Belen Jesuit. A state champion, four-time team Most Valuable Player, two-time First Team All-Dade County Recipient and a two-time selection to the USA Water Polo National team selection camp, Herzen’s list of accomplishments should only grow at FIU.

Loyola University Chicago

It has been said that harsh places breed harsh men, an adage that comes readily to mind during any winter visit to Loyola University Chicago. Situated adjacent to Lake Michigan, Loyola is constantly buffeted by icy winds that serve to drop the already low temperatures into the negative digits. It seems fitting then, that this would be the home of the Ramblers as the team returns in 2013 bolstered by a significant influx of new players and ready to take on all competition. While some might say that Loyola’s current pool renovation project puts the Ramblers at a disadvantage, the team believes that with enough hard work and dedication it can overcome this setback 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) looks to continue to build on its success heading into the 2013 season.

Northern Illinois University

A first-year program returning to the CWPA after several years, Northern Illinois University comes in with no expectations other than enjoying their season, as the squad aims to get its footing in the Great Lakes Division.

The Ohio State University

The most successful team in the 12-year history of the Great Lakes Division with eight championships (2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2010) in ten consecutive title game appearances from 2002-to-2011, last year’s Grand Valley State University team finished in the third spot of the division to miss out on battling for the crown for the first time in a decade.

23


James Dauphinee and first-year assistant Ford Hannum. The team went 5-2 in CWPA play last year and finished fourth in the division, well below team expectations. The Buckeyes look to improve on that finish and bring home the team’s first-ever division championship in 2013.

University of Chicago

The University of Chicago comes off a successful rebuilding year, looking to add to its gains. Last year the team rejoined the league and competed fiercely in both division and non-conference action. The team is sad to see leaders Kathleen Qiu, Eileen Shiuan and Victor Gutwein go, but plans to continue the trend they began of hosting tournaments at home. Returning stars include Eric Hallman, Marcus Trybula, Gerrit Adams and goalie Derek Davis. Look out for Brian Ulrich, Josh Herzberg, Jordan Hisel and Chloe Wild. The team is welcoming back an enthusiastic batch of sophomore players and is always looking to recruit new blood. Under the leadership of Lee Kuhn, UChicago anticipates a successful season during which it reestablishes itself as a force to be reckoned with on the Midwest circuit.

University of Dayton

The University of Dayton Flyers are looking to have one of their best seasons in a decade. The team lost three seniors, including Great Lakes Division Second Team pick Evan Ruggerio, but returns 83 percent of its scoring from last season. The 2012 season saw the Flyers improve late in the year as the squad played well in the championship tournament to record a sixth place mark. With the addition of some freshmen and another year to gel, Dayton looks to improve in the Great Lakes’ standings. Seniors Matt Derrico, Connor Thelen, Jimmy Nickele, Chris Waldock, Peter Wilson and Ryan Hays will lead the team. With such an experienced core group and the most improved player from 2012, goalie Matt Lechleiter, watch out for the Flyers when the 2013 division championship rolls around.

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 2013.

Following the loss, UIC is hungry to get back to the big stage and bring the National Championship back to the Great Lakes Division for the first time since 2005. Although most players are returning, National Collegiate Club Championship All-Tournament First-Team honoree Zach VanSwol will be strongly missed. UIC will have its fourth starting goalkeeper in as many years with the departure of Jihad Ramadan. Transfers look to fill in the holes this year with the addition of Matt O’Rourke and Austin Katz.

University of Notre Dame

GREAT PLAINS DIVISION Illinois State University

The RedBirds of Illinois State University commence the club’s fourth year in the Great Plains Division with the goal of utilizing the talents of returning players Matthew Temple, Will Davidson, Ben Reiff, Cody Corradino, Matthew Wiegel and Austin Ihde in order to qualify for their fourth consecutive visit to the National Collegiate Club Championship.

Anticipating an improved squad, Notre Dame is led by seniors Jack Turek, Geno Freeman and Pat Raycroft as the trio of veterans join juniors Chris Catalino, Kevin Balhoff, Dolff Hanke and Nick Sayre in forming a strong core. Returning for his third season, head coach Scott Clines and Notre Dame hopes the Irish season ends at the University of California-San Diego for the 2013 National Collegiate Club Championship.

Iowa State University comes into the season hopeful for another successful year. In 2012, the Cyclones saw a major improvement in its win total even though they finished a disappointing third place at the conference tournament. Many of Iowa State’s key contributors from last year’s team return for another shot at claiming the program’s first Great Plains Division title since 2005. Kyle Passini, Aaron Elston and Evan Timm will lead a team that should possess a good balance of talented underclassmen and experienced upperclassmen. The team knows that to win they will have to improve upon their goaltending and at the defensive end of the pool.

Grinnell College

Kansas State University

After losing a few seniors from last year, Kansas State University’s younger members will be put to the test this year.

University of Minnesota

The University of Minnesota men’s water polo team looks to build upon a third consecutive second place finish in the Great Plains Division to capture the division plaque for the first time since the Gophers claimed the 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009 titles. The 2010, 2011 and 2012 division runner-up, the Gophers look to regain the Great Plains Division title this year led by seniors Tyler Briesath and Mike Opthof. Fellow returning players Bret Jackson, Marc Vacquier, Conor Murphy and Micah Koenig will also be counted on to produce leadership and results on both the deck and in the water. While the team emphasizes developing talent from within, quite a few newcomers will be thrust into roles to help the team succeed and upend reigning champion Illinois State University.

University of Nebraska

The University of Nebraska enters the season with four freshmen and a majority of last season’s starters back for another championship quest. The Cornhuskers hope to make the division title game for the first time since 2009 and earn their inaugural berth to the National Collegiate Club Championship tournament. Zach Fischer, the team’s veteran set player, will be the keystone to victory in 2013. Goalie Nikolas Bravo put in serious hours over the summer and is ready to make a stand in his final season. Jonathan Crutchfield will continue to shut down the division’s best at set, while Sam Wildman and Mitchell Matis hope to increase offensive production from the perimeter.

HEARTLAND DIVISION Augustana College

Coming off of a third place finish, the Augustana College Vikings have high hopes for this upcoming season. Last year saw numerous wins for the Vikings, though the team was hoping to place higher at the division championship tournament. The Vikings’ goals this year include moving up two places in the division standings and replacing departed players Tony Passaro, Michael Gerber and Kyle Miller, all of whom were valuable members to the team. However, Augustana remains confident with the returning talents of Captain Erik Niemeier, Alex Putz, Michael Duy and Ryan McMahon giving the team a marked advantage. A number of talented new individuals join the team for the 2013 season, which should make the Vikings more than ready to take on the Heartland Division in the hopes of reaching the Division III Club Championship.

Carleton College

Led by a corps of five returning men, Carleton College will look to play another season of competitive, fun water polo. Seniors Jesse Gourevitch, a formidable presence at two-meter defense and Adrian Carpenter, an agile goalkeeper, will team up to silence opposing sets. Leading the attack from set is sophomore Wilson Josephson. Juniors Stephen Kuenstner and Andres Valle provide the passes from up top. Carleton is also fortunate to be able to call on a talented pool of women that includes captains Samantha Sharpe and Katherine Christenson, along with sophomores Shanti Penprase and Ilana Crankshaw.

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 in the Heartland Division Championships, the Wild Turkeys are looking to cultivate a sizable incoming freshman class. The Turkeys graduated strong leadership in Beck Ringdahl-Mayland and Manu Spooner, but retain a group of core players that are ready to make the next step. Captains Joe Lytle and Will Elsas return to the field, along with Michael Brus, Ben Wiedeman, and Second-Team All-America selection Tim Sherwood. Moreover, the Turkeys have added three talented Californian recruits to their ranks, including a new goalie to replace Manu Spooner. Grinnell felt the transition from the old guard to the new in 2012, but are primed to make runs at both the Heartland Division and Division III National Collegiate Club Championships while enjoying some exciting competition along the way.

Knox College

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

Macalester College

The 2013 season looks bright for the Scots of Macalester College.

A fivetime National Champion (1999, 2001, 2002, 2004, 2007), the Mustangs toughest competition may be in the Golden State of California as the Pacific Coast Division has won a collegiate club record four consecutive and nine overall championships dating back to 1999. The Mustangs start the season without graduating one player from the previous season. After finishing ranked ninth in the nation and third

Seniors Braden Fisk, Trevor Heglund, Brenden Willms and Hamilton Little will lead a team possessing the talent, skill and drive to reclaim what has been missing from San Luis Obispo since 2007 - the National Collegiate Club Championship - as the Mustangs are determined to earn another trip to Nationals and return home with their sixth title.

California State University-Long Beach

California State University-Long Beach enters a brand new team into the league this year. This squad is stocked with many players who have beyond four years of water polo experience. Its future lies in the hands of these experienced veterans, as well as its internationally renowned coach Bahram Hojreh. By utilizing such vital resources, Long Beach State aspires to become a contending entity in the division.

California State University-Northridge

Another first-year program, California State University-Northridge joins arguably the most competitive division in the ranks of collegiate club water polo as the past four National Champions came out of the Pacific Coast Division. Mixed with veterans and first-time freshmen, the team expects to prove themselves in their first year. Facing some of the nation’s best players each weekend, CSU-Northridge will have their hands full as they work to consistently improve and upset the powerhouses in the division.

San Diego State University

San Diego State University is looking at having its best year since the program’s establishment in 2007. Last year, the team proved itself as the top club in San Diego and now looks to prove itself as among the best in the Pacific Coast Division and the entirety of the collegiate club ranks. All but two players return from the Aztecs’ fifth place finishing squad. Tim Perry, the team’s senior leader, wants to finish his final year at SDSU with a bang and a short trip over to the University of California-San Diego for the National Collegiate Club Championship. Scott Schneringer, David Dallas-Orr and Sam Delaney, among others, will look to make significant impacts in team scoring, leadership and overall performance. With several new recruits and outstanding coaching by Larry Sanders and Keary Schlactus, it looks to be a year for the Aztecs’ record books.

University of California-Los Angeles

The University of California-Los Angeles enters the 2013 as the defending Pacific Division champions. UCLA fell to Sierra Pacific Division champion the University of California in the National Championship tournament second round last season and is looking to rebound after that disappointing loss. Senior captain John Carney leads the Bruins along with fellow veterans Alex Johnson and Alex Fortis. Jed Springer will guide UCLA on the defensive end. Due to the 2013 National Collegiate Club Championship tournament being contested at the University of California-San Diego, UCLA hopes to defend its division title and a third championship after previously taking the 2009 and 2010 titles.

rival California Polytechnic State University as the only host institutions to win the National Championship in their home pool.

University of California-Santa Barbara

Led by head Coach Travis Allain, the Gauchos of the University of California-Santa Barbara look to the 2013 season with high hopes as a large returning group packs the roster, along with many new talented players. Co-captain Jaxon Carter seeks to promote unselfish play and ball movement along the perimeter to create goal scoring opportunities. The Gauchos are relying on new and returning players to make big plays alike, but will especially count on veterans Ryan Long, Dustin Hayashi and David Schmidt to take advantage of their opportunities. To help in the backfield, goalies Evan Woods and Taylor Earwood return to frustrate shooters with the help of a stellar defensive line including Matt Thornton, David Jacobs and Cooper Creese. However, UC-Santa Barbara’s greatest strength lies at set, as the Gauchos plan to capitalize on their seasoned seniors at this position. Ian Kistler, Alex Semplinski and co-captain Sam Hock have their eyes on the goal and look to be the leading scorers in the program as the Gauchos should be contenders for the division championship.

University of Southern California

The defending back-to-back National Collegiate Club Champions, the University of Southern California has a chance to become the first program in men’s collegiate club history to win three consecutive National Championships. Last year, the Pacific Coast Division runner-up Trojans made history courtesy an 11-10 victory over the University of California to become just the second division runnerup to win the National Championship. The No. 1-ranked team at the conclusion of the season and in the preseason balloting, USC will turn the keys to the program over to two-time National Collegiate Club Championship Most Valuable Player Cem Carak who takes on the mantle of head coach in 2013. Star players Phil Bamberg, Matt Schechter and Mike Ray return to a lineup that will also feature several newcomers poised to help the Trojans “Fight On” for their third straight championship.

ROCKY MOUNTAIN DIVISION Arizona State University

Brothers Kevin (senior) and Travis (graduate student) Dunn, Arizona State University looks to get back on the map by making it to the National Collegiate Club Championship after missing out on the 2012 tournament. With fellow captain Ryan Bethel coming back after taking last year off and many returners rejoining the Sun Devils, including Corey Stock, ASU seems to have more experience on their roster. In addition to the squad’s new fountain of leadership, several freshmen will suit up for the first time. Frosh Dom Caputo, Connor Sweeny and Brian Zucker add to the Sun Devils’ depth to give ASU its best bench in years. Other helping hands include Patrick Shields, Nathan Raff, Chris Boschken and Ryan Farrer. On defense,

The Sun Devils have two goals this year - win the Rocky Mountain Division Championship and earn a trip back to the National Collegiate Club Championship tournament for another shot at taking home the plaque.

University of Arizona “A”

Among the most successful programs in collegiate club water polo over the past 17-years, the University of Arizona holds 11 division championships (Southwest - 1996, 1997, 1999, 2000, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2009) and has appeared in 16 title games (Southwest Runner-Up - 1998, 2001, 2008, 2010; Rocky Mountain - 2012).

SIERRA PACIFIC DIVISION California State University-Chico

California State University-Chico is once again striving to earn a trip to the National Championship tournament in 2013. After a lackluster fourth place finish in 2012, fifth-year goalie and Captain Tyler Rettig, along with returning All-Conference two-meter defender Jackson Ballew, will lead the Wildcats in and out of the pool with hopes of achieving their goal of earning a berth in the National Collegiate Club Championship field. Coach Clifford Kunkel enters his seventh season with the club and fourth season as head coach, confident his experience coupled with his team’s talent will put the Wildcats over the top. Freshman Connor Thompson and junior transfer Ryan Sevilla cement Chico’s status as a force to be reckoned with and a definite contender for the Sierra Pacific Division title.

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 membership works tirelessly to achieve numerous goals set forth at the beginning of the season, while still maintaining academic integrity.

California State University-Fresno

University of Colorado “B”

After losing in the Sierra Pacific Division championship game a year ago by an 11-6 score to eventual National Club Championship runner-up the University of California, California State University-Maritime Academy is more determined than ever to get back to the top. Although Maritime lost some of their key players from a year ago, one of the strongest incoming classes in recent memory places the Keelhaulers in a good position to adapt and improve quickly.

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 ninth place finish in the Rocky Mountain Division regular season last season, the University of Denver will continue gathering 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

Following a fifth place finish at the 2012 Rocky Mountain Division Championship, returning stars for the University of New Mexico include Ryan Grady, one of the best goalies in the league, who has now easily become New Mexico’s best goalie coaches in passing along his skills to his rising protegees. Other “Players to Watch” include All-Rocky Mountain Second Team pick Jarryd St. John and center defender Billy Simmons. Outside sharpshooter Ruben Kimmelman and the speedy Brandon Huffman rejoin the Lobos, as the pool of talent from which New Mexico can pull its lineup is the deepest in several seasons. The graduation of Bryant Shuey and Jake Ediger will require some talented replacements, but fortunately there is plenty available. Contenders for their starting line-up positions include Corbin Plugge, Robert Trujillo and brothers Matthew and Tommy Simmons.

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, 2012), 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.

California State University-Fresno returns to the Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) after a prolonged hiatus. The 2004 Pacific Coast Division runner-up, the Bulldogs will vie to make their presence felt in the Sierra Pacific Division.

California State University-Maritime Academy

Saint Mary’s College (Calif.)

Stanford University

Entering the program’s seventh 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. The Cardinal are looking to improve upon last year’s eighth place finish in the division. Key to Stanford’s wishes to ascend the Sierra Pacific Division standings are the return of goalie A.J. Santa Maria and leading goal scorer Paolo McCarty. Starters Haynes Winkler, Scott Swartz, Scanner Cheung and Aaron Zelinger also return to contribute as well.

University of California-Berkeley

The 2012 National Collegiate Club Championship runner-up, the University of California Golden Bears head into the 2013 season with high hopes, despite losing key players and Jackson Sharf, the 2012 Coach of the Tournament. Last year the Golden Bears won the Sierra Pacific Division title to earn their first appearance at the National Club Championship. After defeating Pacific Coast Division Champion the University of California-Los Angeles by a 12-7 final score in the second round, the Golden Bears were eventually edged out by Pacific Coast Division runner-up the University of Southern California by an 11-10 score in the final minute of the championship game. New coach Thomas Gilfillan will lead the new and returning Cal players, including seniors Noah Orloff and Stephen Ambrose, with hopes of another National Championship run.

University of California-Davis

After placing fifth in the Sierra Pacific Division, the University of California-Davis returns a roster full of talent and experience that will work to put in the effort necessary to make a division title game for the first time since placing second in the Pacific Coast Division during the 2006 and 2007 seasons. Plagued 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.

University of California-Santa Cruz

The University of California-Santa Cruz returns from a 2012 season in which the Banana Slugs placed sixth in the final Sierra Pacific Division standings.

SOUTHEAST DIVISION Auburn University

Georgia Institute of Technology

The 2012 Southeast Division runner-up to Vanderbilt University, the Yellow Jackets of the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) are not going to settle for second best in 2013. Head coach Brian Twyhnam and assistant coach Steven Kuenhle are hitting the ground running with emphasis on conditioning and a back to basics approach. Newly elected captain and previous Southeast Division Most Valuable Player Neal Laxpati is fired up and bringing this talented Georgia Tech team together like never before. The Yellow Jackets possess an impressive set of weapons. Fifth-year seniors and All-Conference selections Steve Larson and Patrick Slane, who claimed First and Second Team honors, respectively, highlight potential division MVP candidates. Speed will also be in Georgia Tech’s repertoire as fifth year senior Nicholas Thompson and third year David Shelton are swimmers at heart and will be looking to sprint past defenders on counter-attack chances. In addition to Georgia Tech’s veterans, two recruits stand out from the rest. Cavan Hayes, a freshman out of Atlanta, is showing promise at two-meters, while graduate student Clayton Stout continues to exhibit the skills necessary to be a strong guard with a talent for shutting people down in set. Along with all their weapons, Georgia Tech has a surprisingly deep bench that will provide valuable depth.

University of Georgia

The University of Georgia has high hopes for the 2013 season. With the largest number of experienced and committed players thus far, the team’s depth will not be an issue. Under the guidance of student-athlete and coach Phong Nguyen, the Dawgs will have to refine defensive tactics, as Georgia’s weakness will be in goal. Losing All-Conference goalie Drew Duckett will be tough to replace, but senior Alex Lembeck is ready to turn away shots. Helping compensate will be strong two-meter players like freshman John Roquet, the Georgia High School State Tournament Most Valuable Player, and sophomore Christian Saupe. Meanwhile, watch for fast breaks from starters Wilson Couture and James Jacobi. Georgia’s greatest strength will be the defending Southeast Division Most Valuable Player Kevin Hughes who will be playing set and taking outside shots. With even more talent sitting on the bench, opponents better beware of the Dawgs.

Auburn University is a team looking to move past its recent rebuilding years. Losing only one starter last year and gaining various new experienced players, the upcoming season and future beyond are showing plenty of promise. Goalie Frank Puglisi has shown an uncanny ability to frustrate the best shooters and last year’s team Most Valuable Player Eric Hicks led the team in scoring as only a freshman.

The sport of water polo has become more widely recognized in Baton Rouge, thus successful recruitment has allowed the team to maintain an impressive roster.

Rice University

Rice University comes into the season with a returning core of players, but the Owls’ are missing a few key spots on the roster. Losing a captain and two-meter defender (Ivan Huang) and one half of the team’s twins (Paul Abraham), Rice will need their freshmen to step and fill the holes. Captain Kevin Gravesmill and freshmen Sam Gavenman and Raul Rondon look to anchor a strong defense, while Captain Brett Virgin-Downey, senior Peter Abraham, and lefty Ross Pepper take care of business on offense. After missing a year, the Owls’ return their 6’-5” goalie Tom Gerken, whose wingspan will help a stalwart Rice defense. With a short beginning to the season, Rice goes into the first tournament looking to get everyone playing time and gel as a team, while improving for the Texas Division Championship tournament at the end of the season.

University of Houston

The University of Houston enters the season with high hopes of improving on the program’s runner-up finish at the 2012 Texas Division Championship.
