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. 2014 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 rreferee or when a player interferes with an opponent’s ffree throw. Players may only receive three major fouls bbefore elimination. IIf all of this has you totally confused, just sit back and eenjoy the game. The easiest way to follow the play is by watching the scoreboard. If your team is ahead at the w eend, great! If not, well consider that you have expanded yyour horizons. When the game is over, you can at least eexplain to your friends that the horses never get wet.

Also, consumption or possession of alcoholic beverages and tobacco products is prohibited.


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, Ivy League or Atlantic Coast Conference, handle multiple sports, while others like the CWPA handle a single sport. With respect to water polo, all clubs that are eligible for the National Collegiate Club Championship are members of the CWPA. To understand the difference between the league and the NCAA or NAIA, think of the conference on a smaller scale performing similar functions for its member institutions.

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

Varsity Class

The top three teams from the Northern Division Championship and the top five teams from the Southern Division Championship earn automatic berths in the 12-team CWPA Championship tournament. The final four positions for the championship are selected on an At-Large basis by the Varsity Governance Council from the teams not earning automatic positions in the field. The first place team at the CWPA Championship qualifies for the NCAA National Championship in December.

Northern Division

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

Southern Division

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

Sport Club Class

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

Atlantic Division

Teams are divided into two brackets according to their finish during the prior season. Each bracket plays double round robin. Every team attends the championship, with the best team from the bottom bracket moving into the sixth seed to compete for First Place. The remaining four teams play round robin for final places. Seeds are based on won/loss records.

Big Ten Division

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

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

New York Division

Teams play four games within their region, followed by a crossover event where they compete against four of the teams from the opposite region. Every team attends the championship, with the top six teams in one bracket competing for First Place and the remaining four playing round robin for final places. Seeds are based on won/loss records.

North Atlantic Division

Teams are divided into two regions, with each region playing a double round robin schedule over two weekends. Every team attends the championship, with the top six teams in one bracket competing for First Place and the remaining four playing round robin for final places. Seeds are based on won/ loss records and they alternate between the regions, with the first seed awarded to the region that won the prior season.

Northwest Division

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

Pacific Coast Division

Teams play eight opponents drawn at random over two weekends. All teams attend the championship tournament, with seeding based on the regular season won/loss records.

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 differential against the highest seeded common opponent is used.

(for advancement w/in championships)

Rocky Mountain Division

The teams play eight games against opponents within the division over two weekends, with one of the weekends emphasizing regional match-ups. Opponents are selected randomly during the cross-regional weekend. All teams attend the championship, with the top six teams in one bracket competing for First Place and the remaining four playing round robin for final places. Seeds are based on won/loss records.

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..

Sierra Pacific Division

Goal Differential

Teams play a single round robin schedule over two weekends. All teams attend the championship tournament, with seeding based on the regular season won/loss records.

7

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.

CWPA

VARSITY TEAM PROFILES Iona College

NORTHERN DIVISION Brown University

On the coattails of a third-straight 20-win season, the Bears of Brown University aim to improve upon last year’s 23-13 record and fifth-place finish at the Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) Championship. 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 for the first time since Brown last captured the title in backtoback-to-back seasons from 1983-to-1985.

Connecticut College

Entering the program’s 14th season as a varsity sport, the Camels of Connecticut College begin 2014 with continuing 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. Led by new head coach Matt Anderson, who guided the University of Michigan women’s team to four CWPA Championships and National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) tournament berths, Connecticut will have a tough road ahead thanks to perennial powers Johns Hopkins University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for the program’s inaugural men’s Division III crown. In addition, the team will attempt to make a run at finishing among the Top Three teams at the Northern Division Championship to clinch a berth to the CWPA Championship for the first time in program history.

Fordham University

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

Harvard University

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

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

Massachusetts Institute of Technology

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

Saint Francis College

2013 was another banner year for the Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) Champion Terriers of St. Francis College Brooklyn as the team defeated the University of California-San Diego in last year’s National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Play-In game by a 6-5 final before falling to Stanford University, 17-2, to place fourth at the championship event. The two-time (2012, 2013) defending league champion, St. Francis will need to replace two vital cogs to join the United States Naval Academy (2006-to-2008; 1986-to-1988), the University of Massachusetts (1993-to-1995), Brown University (1983-to-1985), Bucknell University (1977-to1980) and Yale University (1972-to-1974) as the only programs in CWPA history to “three-peat”. The loss of 2013 Northern Division Player of the Year, Northern Division All-Conference First Team goalie, CWPA Championship Most Valuable Player and two-time All-NCAA Championship Tournament netminder Igor Mladenovic could pose problems for the Terriers’ in the early going of the 2014 season. Add in the fact that fellow 2013 NCAA All-Tournament selection Bosko Stankovic was also lost to graduation, and St. Francis’ chances of repeating appear diminished. However, the presence of Ilija Djuretic, who was third on the team with 46 goals last year, should bolster the Terriers’ in the early going of the new season. “He is probably going to take the brunt of defending [opponent’s] stronger offensive players,” notes second-year head coach Srdjan Mihaljevic. “We won’t be successful if we don’t have some prolific scorers and Ilya is definitely one of them.” The Terriers, who qualified for back-to-back NCAA Final Fours for the first time in the program’s history, have experienced a great deal of change since the close of the 2013 season. “We don’t have Igor and there’s no point in living in the past. We have three goalies on the roster, two of them are coming back, one from a red-shirt, and the back-up goalie from last year, Aleksandar Gavric.” Despite a defense that will no longer have the safety blanket of an Mladenovic, St. Francis will again be an offensive powerhouse, with the return of three of the team’s top four scorers, led by senior Vuk Vujosevic (51 goals, 24 assists). Lazar Komadinic (48 goals, 19 assists), last year’s second leading scorer, who this season will switch to the weak/left-side of the pool, acknowledged that the changes will have an impact, but the goal remains the same: qualifying for the NCAA tournament. Mihaljevic acknowledges that besides his star goalie, there were other significant losses to graduation. “It’s going to be hard to replace Stankovic, who was a significant contributor to our offense. We brought in a new center in Bora Dimitrov and I expect him to slide into that slot.” Dimitrov, who played the last two years at Diablo Valley Junior College outside of San Francisco, grew up in Serbia with many of SFC’s players. Perhaps no player will be under more scrutiny this season than junior driver Liam Veazey. Not only is Veazey St. Francis’ only left-handed player, crucial because he runs the offense from the right-side of the pool, but he will serve as a co-captain with senior David Lonnberg. Veazey is aware of the expectations and is ready to embrace his role. “This year, with 11 field players, we have a much smaller roster than last year [so] everyone has an important role. There’s nobody on the team that won’t be a contributor if we’re going to win the league.

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

George Washington University

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

Johns Hopkins University

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

SOUTHERN DIVISION, EASTERN REGION Bucknell University

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

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

Princeton University

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

United States Naval Academy

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

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

SOUTHERN DIVISION, WESTERN REGION Gannon University

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

Mercyhurst University

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

Monmouth College

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

Salem International University

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

Washington & Jefferson College

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

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

CLUB TEAM PROFILES ATLANTIC DIVISION Duke University

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

Georgetown University

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

James Madison University

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

Johns Hopkins University

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

North Carolina State University

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

United States Naval Academy

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

University of Maryland

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

20


division title. Maryland’s trip to the National Collegiate Club Championship was heavily fueled by the team’s seniors, including All-Conference goalie Harrison Fisher and drivers Pat Hagar and Nate Hukill. The seventh program in the 15-year history of the Atlantic Division to capture the championship, the Terrapins are counting on their four returning starters to replace these valuable players in order to join the University of North Carolina (2010-to-2012), Virginia Tech (2006-to-2007) and Georgetown University (2001-to2002) as the only program’s in Atlantic Division history to repeat as champions and return to the National Collegiate Club Championship in consecutive seasons.

University of North Carolina

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

University of Virginia

Virginia enters the season with an optimistic and experienced group of returning players following a Seventh Place finish at last year’s Atlantic Division Championship. Led by co-captains Wesley Yang and Chris Kegelman, the Cavaliers return a solid core of players. Due to an injury to All-Conference Second Team selection Eric McDonald, the team will need to fill the void with a new player. On offense, juniors Conor McLaughlin and Sean Cassady provide an inside-out tandem. Senior Mike Lau strengthens the offensive attack with his speed and driving presence. On the flip side of the ball, goalie Dan O’Connor continues to stifle opposing players’ shots with his lock down defensive ability. Virginia hopes to improve upon their recent finishes in their division with a balanced attack from both sides of the ball with plans of claiming the institution’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-to-2009), the Virginia Tech men’s water polo team is training hard for an eventful season. Following the loss of several key players, including Matt Sylvester, Conor Reiling and Alex McDonald, the Hokies hopes to focus on improving upon what was missing from last season’s regular season runner-up and Fourth Place squad. Tech will work to develop and tune the offensive talents of junior Ryan Staton and seniors Tim Melhuish, Michael Feihe and Nate Peters. Defensively, Tech hopes to draw from the expertise of Reeder Robinson and Peter Biskaduros to instill discipline and all-around pool awareness. However, the club can not ensure strong competition without the depth added by Trevor Kent, Roman Sarapin and Matthew Woodmancy. As always, continued strong performances by goalie Taylor Blair will help the Hokies dominate the pool from all ends and get Virginia Tech back to the top of the division for the first time since 2009.

BIG TEN DIVISION Indiana University

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

Michigan State University

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

Northwestern University

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

Purdue University

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

University of Illinois

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

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

University of Iowa

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

University of Michigan

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

University of Wisconsin

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

FLORIDA DIVISION Florida Atlantic University

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

Florida Gulf Coast University

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

Florida International University

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

Florida State University “A”

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

University of Florida “A”

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

University of Florida “B”

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

Miami University (Ohio)

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

The Ohio State University

The Ohio State University comes into this season fresh off of their first Great Lakes Division championship. After graduating only two seniors, the Buckeyes appear poised to defend their title and make another run at the National Collegiate Club Championship. Six of seven starters from last season return, including Second-Team University of Miami (Fla.) All-America selections Michael Smith and Orion Swanson.

Although the team may lack experience in the beginning, the Hurricanes will make up for the deficit with dedication to the team and a commitment to becoming the first program to win three consecutive Florida Division titles.

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

University of Chicago

Xavier University

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

University of Dayton

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

University of Illinois-Chicago

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

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

GREAT PLAINS DIVISION Grinnell College

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

Illinois State University

The RedBirds of Illinois State University commence the club’s fifth year in the Great Plains Division looking to continue a four-year run as the group’s champion.

Returning Great Plains Division Most Valuable Player Cody Corradino, along with starters Austin Ihde, Kyle Stablein, Will Davidson and Matt Wiegel, will provide the majority of the offense. In addition to the solid returning core, there are numerous promising freshmen who will battle to make an impact in the RedBirds’ lineup.

David Shriver, Jacob Lenz and Zach Kentner. Shriver has stepped up to be the new goalie, making up for the graduation of Nikolas Bravo.

Marquette University

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

University of Minnesota

The University of Minnesota men’s water polo team looks to build upon a fourth 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, 2012 and 2013 division runner-up, the Gophers are set to regain the Great Plains Division title this year and upend reigning champion Illinois State University.

University of Nebraska

The University of Nebraska is ready for the season with a stronger and more experienced team. Last year, the Cornhuskers ended in Fourth Place at the Great Plains Division Championship. With most of the team returning, Nebraska will work to finish higher in 2014 and contend for the squad’s inaugural division title. The team is under the management of returning players Mitch Matis, Sam Wildman and Brian Cronin, who have worked together over the Spring to improve in places where it had previously fallen short. Since the final horn of the 2013 campaign, the Cornhuskers have brought in several talented and experienced recruits: Lionnel Low, Jessica Fox, Christina Coon and Sean Kelly. The quartet has multiple years of experience on high school and club teams. Additional veteran players to watch include Jonathan Crutchfield,

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

Carleton College

Carleton College will be in the midst of a rebuilding year following the loss of a talented class of seniors. However, the team can still make an impact in the Heartland Division this year as strong offensive and defensive performances from returning starters Stephen Kuenstner, Wilson Josephson and Aaron Sala could place the squad in contention by the season’s end.

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

Saint John’s University (Minn.)

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

25


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

Saint Mary’s University of Minnesota

Saint Mary’s University of Minnesota looks forward to a great improvement after a fifth place finish in the Heartland Division at the conclusion of the 2013 season.

Senior Joe Kotinsly returns as captain with a goal to lead Bloomsburg to its first championship season with the help of fellow senior Cole Underwood.

Bucknell University

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

Carnegie Mellon University

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

Drexel University

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

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

Franklin & Marshall College

The Franklin & Marshall College Diplomats return to the pool with a growing club ready to work harder than ever to qualify for the postseason with the possibility of again making the Division III National Collegiate Club Championship. Last year, the team placed 11th in the Mid-Atlantic Division and ninth at home during the Division III Championship to continue an ascent into consistent contention in both the Keystone State and on the small college scene.

Grove City College

Grove City College comes into the season looking to break last year’s winless streak with a mix of incoming talent and returning seniors. Having the most experience on the team, super-senior EJ Leuchner will be play a key role on both offense and defense for the Wolverines. Returning top scorer Karter Gagliardo will continue his relentless barrage of the goal to keep the team afloat, while senior Jon Bernhardt will use his experience to be a two-way threat. Returning sophomore Hadyn Niehaus should be able to use his intimidating size and strength to his advantage, while returning senior goalie Ben Satre will once again be a force in the goal. Incoming freshmen Brad Mazoch, Mark Newman, Josh Walker and Brett Gwynn will use their swimming background to give Grove City a more competitive edge with hopes of reaching the Division III National Collegiate Club Championship tournament after a five-year absence.

Lehigh University

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

Millersville University

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

Pennsylvania State University

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

26


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

Saint Joseph’s University

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

University of Delaware

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

University of Pittsburgh

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

Villanova University

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

West Chester University

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

Widener University University of Pennsylvania

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

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

MISSOURI VALLEY DIVISION Lindenwood University “A”

A seven-time Missouri Valley Division champion (2005, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2012, 2013), the Lions of Lindenwood University are shooting for the program’s eighth Missouri Valley title in the past 10 years.

Lindenwood is anxious to witness the contributions of freshmen David Alcon and Mario Diaz in goal and field, respectively. Newcomers Andres Rodriguez and Alberto Duran could also contribute right away, while returning players Wes White, Alvaro Campos and Andrew Rabe will also have additional opportunities to make their mark in 2014.

Lindenwood University “B”

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

Saint Louis University

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

Southern Illinois University

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

Southern Illinois University returns this season with a group of experienced players as well as some new talent. The Salukis have six veteran players coming back with senior Eric Engleson, juniors Ashley Booth, Billy McGuire and Peter Schorsch and sophomores Abbi Behrens and Alex Young taking their chances for another try at claiming the Missouri Valley Division title.

The majority of the team’s starters, including Harrison Klemm, Thomas Lyonfields, Austin Menichino and Brian Sableman, come back for another crack at advancing the Bulldogs to the National Collegiate Club Championship tournament. A crop of freshmen join the team which should help fill the gaps left by the loss of several players.

NEW ENGLAND DIVISION Boston College

A four-time (2007, 2008, 2012, 2013) division runner-up, Boston College is hungry for a championship as the Eagles went 12-1 and 11-2 in their last two seasons but failed to advance beyond the New England Division title game. However, with a strong returning class including starters Dan Kelly, Nick Henze, Ricky McEntee, Charlie Manclark, Matt Serratta and goalie Caleb Bower, BC is ready for a Washington University in Saint Louis (Mo.) Washington University in Saint Louis and head coach Nathan Todd change of scenery and a chance to travel to the National Collegiate return this year with unfinished business and a streak to defend as Club Championship. the Bears fell in the Division III Collegiate Club title game for the second consecutive season after claiming the 2011 crown.

Returning

28


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

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

Wesleyan University Dartmouth College

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

Harvard University

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

Middlebury College

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

University of Connecticut

One of two new programs in the New England Division, the University of Connecticut is excited to join the Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA). Entering their first year officially playing against other universities and colleges, the Huskies are set to show

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

Yale University

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

NEW YORK DIVISION Binghamton University

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

Colgate University

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

Columbia University

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

Cornell University

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

Hamilton College

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

New York University

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

Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute

Following a Fourth Place finish in the New York Division a year ago, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute comes into the season looking to continue its climb up the standings in the New York Division. The Engineers are looking to jump even higher up the board with its young team. Returning players Harry Waskow, Tanner Hart and Derek Kennedy, along with new talent from across the nation, are eager to get some experience and playing time. Thanks to this season’s growth in the number of athletes on the roster, RPI looks to increase its offensive presence in the pool while maintaining a solid defensive game with the addition of goalie David Burnett.

Syracuse University

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

United States Merchant Marine Academy

The outstanding sophomore class will have returning starters Frederick Ferrer and Lance Lerum to display leadership. Travis Knight, Devon Tomooka and Michael Hohl will have important roles on the championship assault as the Tritons will need to unseat defending National Champion the University of California-Los Angeles (2009, 2010, 2013) and fellow past champions the University of Southern California (2011, 2012) and California Polytechnic State University (1999, 2001, 2002, 2004, 207) to win the division and make it back to the National Club Championship tournament. In the cage, returning No. 1 goalie Gio Goggia will once again be called upon to provide the backbone of the Tritons’ solid defense. The experience of seniors Garrett Sauls, Claudio Gage, and Danny Kahl will be crucial, and juniors Richard Lund and Shane Calloway will lead with their hard work and dedication. Rookies Rex Shettlesworth and Ankit Vyas will improve and strive to break through into the starting group.

University of California-Santa Barbara “A”

The Gauchos of the University of California-Santa Barbara “A” come back to the water polo scene this year more excited and ready to play than ever before.

So hot in fact, that they had to add an additional team to the league in fielding a “B” team. In addition to new recruits who have been working hard since Day One, the Gauchos are looking to returning players who, due to injuries, had to miss last season. Centers Paul Von Stroke, Saleem Omary and Ian Kistler are primed, healthy and ready to be forces at the set position. New coach and Ventura High School alum Daniel Loman is working with the perimeter shooters so the Gauchos expect to rain an inordinate amount of shots down onto the opposing goalies. On the other end of the tank, goalies Reid Bongard and Taylor Earwood, working under the tutelage of head coach Travis Allian, have pledged to not let any markers into the cage.

The Utes will rely heavily on their stern defense and a high-powered offense. Returning starters include seniors Ian Smith, Christian Hayes and Brandton Ferrin. Newcomers Christian Carlson, Nick Wallman and Nate Peercy should create problems for opposing defenses. The Crevelings, Kiffer and Peter, return as they look for tremendous seasons. Senior Parker Finlinson also comes back after serving a mission with hopes of regaining the form he demonstrated before he left. Utah has a capable bench with Ian Pradhan, Ben Bartholomew, Mike Morgan and Joes Hayes giving head coach Tom Taylor multiple options.

University of Wyoming

SOUTHEAST DIVISION Auburn University

Auburn University comes into the 2014 season with a ton of experienced upperclassmen and some strong freshmen additions. The Tigers finished fifth in the Southeast Division in 2013, but only one of Auburn’s starters graduated and will not return to the water for the team. This leaves a highly experienced team with the motivation to make a splash in the Southeast Division. Auburn’s leading scorer Kyle Johnson returns to the plains looking to improve his already record stats at Auburn. Senior Sean Fiery, a returning starter with good scoring capabilities, and sophomore Kevin Roughgarden, who made an impact as an underclassman, will be relied on to put points on the board. However, one of Auburn’s greatest strengths is on the defensive end, where if healthy for the entire season, goalie Frank Puglisi returns to frustrate shooters and lead the Tigers’ deep into postseason play.

Clemson University

After weathering the graduation of three All-America selections, the Eagles will combine their remaining starters with a large pool of new talent. Despite the loss of All-America goalie Allon Mordel, Emory’s defense will be its greatest strength with senior captain Joey Arlington leading the last line from the guard position. Assisting Arlington is freshman goalie Alex Sweeting, whom the Eagles are eager to see in action. On the offensive end, Emory will be looking for new leadership after the graduation of leading scorers Paul Musille and Ben Mills. In light of this, the Eagles will be turning to a new face in graduate student JR McMillan. McMillan will

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

Georgia Institute of Technology

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

University of Alabama

University of Georgia

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

University of Tennessee

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

Vanderbilt University

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

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

TEXAS DIVISION Baylor University

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

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

Texas State University

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

Texas Tech University

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

University of Houston

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

University of Texas

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

Rice University

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

Texas A&M University

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