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

General Information

1. Each team has six field players and a goalie. 2. Field players can only use one hand to touch the ball, goalies two. 3. Games consist of 7-minute quarters for club divisions, 8-minute quarters for varsity divisions. 4. The object of the game is to score by placing the ball completely in the goal. Players may move the ball by swimming or passing. 5. Teams may substitute after a goal is scored, during a time-out or during the play from the ejection area. 6. Each team receives three time-outs and one 20-second time-out per game. 7. Shots blocked out of bounds by defensive players result in the defensive team receiving possession. If a defender uses two hands to block a shot, the offensive team receives a penalty shot. 2014 Women’s Guide Table of Contents About the CWPA..................................................................Pages 2-3 CWPA Timeline.........................................................................

WATER POLO Fouls

When an infraction of the rules occurs, the referee will point in the direction of the team taking possession, while blowing his whistle. The ball is put back into play with an action called a free throw. This means the player gets three seconds of free time to throw the ball to another teammate or swim it up the pool. A player cannot shoot a free throw unless outside the five-meter line. If the ball is not put into play within three seconds, the other team takes possession. Fouls can be ordinary or major. Ordinary fouls are best understood as minor fouls. For example, a defender may reach over an opponent’s back to get at the ball while facing away from the goal. The penalty for an ordinary foul is a free throw for the opposing team. Major fouls are more severe and are penalized accordingly. For example, when a defender fouls an opponent too aggressively, or from behind when the opponent is facing the goal, the defender is ejected for 20 seconds (players may reenter the game if their team recovers the ball before the ejection time is up, or if the opposing team scores). When the foul occurs within five meters of the goal and the referee believes the player had a high chance of scoring, the opposition shoots a penalty shot. Major fouls can also occur through disrespect to the referee or when a player interferes with an opponent’s free throw. Players may only receive three major fouls before elimination. If all of this has you totally confused, just sit back and enjoy the game. The easiest way to follow the play is by watching the scoreboard. If your team is ahead at the end, great! If not, well consider that you have expanded your horizons. When the game is over, you can at least explain to your friends that the horses never get wet.

Affiliate Organizations

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

History of the CWPA

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Tie Breaker System - All Situations

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

Tie Breaker System - Two Teams

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

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

Pacific Coast Division

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

Sierra Pacific Division

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

Southeast Division

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

Southwest Division

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

Texas Division

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

7

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

(for advancement w/in championships)

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

Goal Differential

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

Leading the way on offense is attacker Kate Woods, as the three-time CWPA Southern Division All-Conference First Team selection ranked second on the squad in scoring for the 2013 season with 59 goals and was the team leader in assists by dishing out 71 helpers. Defensively she had 93 steals, also a team high. Additionally, her 39 ejections drawn put her third on the team to help garner All-America Honorable Mention accolades. Senior Sarah Presant is another impact player to watch following a junior season in which she tallied 48 steals, 25 ejections drawn, 38 goals and 23 assists with five field blocks. Watch for center defenders Rebecca Zak and Chloe Kempf, attacker Emily Klein and utility player Olivia Santiago to add firepower and defensive presence to the Bears’ line-up. The addition of freshmen Shannon Crowley, Marisa Kolokotronis and Hannah Koper strengthen the field player contingent, but in the ultra-competitive Southern Division, the Bears’ title hopes may ride on the play of goalie Sarah Shin as the senior is coming off a season in which she registered 163 saves with a 10.31 goals against average.

Bucknell University

Bucknell University, which is slated to host the Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) Championship this April, is a veteran team with five seniors and three juniors who have all played significant minutes.

Valdes, who ranks 10th in program history with 241 career points, and fellow senior Mackenzie Ferry are coming off a season in which they were named to the All-Southern Division Second Team for guiding Bucknell to fifth place in the division and a seventh place finish at the league’s championship tournament. Overall, the Bison return five starters from last year’s squad, including two-year starting goalkeeper Rena Heim. Heim posted 251 saves last Spring and stands fourth in program history with 661 career stops.

Under the direction of 15th-year head coach Scott Reed, George Washington University returns nearly 75 percent of an offense which scored a program-record 318 goals in 2013, including three 50-goal scorers. An All-Southern Division First Team selection a year ago after eclipsing the single-season school records for assists (61) and points (111), Rachael Bentley enters her senior season as GW’s all-time leader in assists (141) and points (272), and with 131 career goals she is within striking distance of that all-time mark (170) as well. Senior Megan Brolley earned All-South Second Team honors last season after scoring 50 goals and leading GW in steals (41) and ejections drawn (43). Despite missing the final five games of the season to injury, sophomore Hannah Cox led the Colonials with 56 goals. In addition, senior Katherine Berry is GW’s singleseason and career leader in field blocks. Finally, junior goalkeeper Chandler Vilander is poised to build on her sophomore campaign in which she posted a career-high 201 saves.

The Crimson returns nine members of the 2013 squad, including second team All-Southern Division performers Yoshi Andersen and Ariel Dukes. Andersen (61 goals, 42 assists, 54 steals) along with senior co-captain Shayna Price (76 goals, 33 assists, 39 steals) and rising sophomore Charlotte Hendrix (71 goals, 42 assists, 57 steals) will help pace the offense.

Princeton University

A three-time Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) Champion with titles in 2004, 2006 and 2007, Hartwick College went 29-13 last season and came in fourth at the CWPA Championship.

Indiana University

Coming off consecutive National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Championship appearances, the Princeton University women’s water polo team will look to reach new milestones in 2014. The Tigers are the two-time reigning Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) and Southern Division champions and will look to defend their crown for a third straight season. In the history of the league, only two teams have claimed three-consecutive league crowns as Slippery Rock University (1988-to-1996) and the University of Michigan (2008-to-2010) previously achieved the feat. Princeton

Indiana University reached new milestones in 2013 as the Hoosier claimed the Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) Western Division title for the first time in school history.

The rookie class combined for 10 All-America citations and 12 All-State accolades during their prep careers.

Penn State Erie, The Behrend College

Penn State Behrend will look to improve upon last season as the Lions are coming off a seventh place finish at the Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) Division III Championship. The loss of four-time All-America pick MaryEllen Spooner, who led Penn State Behrend in goals (40), drawn kick-outs (30) and field blocks (12) last season, will provide an opportunity for the younger players to step-up and lead the Lions to the next level. Look for captain Paula Rusca to take over on the offensive end of the tank. She is joined by returning players Lauren Rosato, Hannah Kelly, Alex Issacson and Mary Therese Causgrove.

University of California-Los Angeles

The Bruins of the University of California-Los Angeles team will work to end a nine-year championship reign by California Polytechnic State University in the Pacific Coast Division. Unlike previous seasons, only the champion from the division will advance to the National Collegiate Club Championship, putting added pressure on UCLA to claim an automatic berth to the club championship. A seven-time division runner-up (2002, 2004, 2007-2011) and 2001 champion, UCLA will need to rely on the play of a deep roster that will provide the Bruins with the speed, finesse and power to stifle its Southern California rivals.

University of California-San Diego

The Tritons of the University of California-San Diego have remained among the top of the competition in the Pacific Coast Division in recent history, placing third (2009, 2010, 2012), fourth (2013) and fifth (2011) over the past five seasons. One of two active teams in the division with two or more seasons of past experience to never qualify for the title tilt, joining the University of California-Irvine, UC-San Diego will aim to become the first San Diego based institution to win the crown and snap a string of 15 championships claimed by their Northern rivals (California Polytechnic State University, University of Southern California, University of CaliforniaLos Angeles) dating back to the Pacific Coast Division’s formation in 1999. UC-San Diego is approaching this season with the enthusiasm befitting a young and energetic team. UC-San Diego is focusing on knocking off the rest of the division and claiming a trip to the National Collegiate Club Championship. The challenge for UCSD this year will be communication, especially when facing more experienced teams. The players will rely heavily on the guidance of utility players Joelle Maag (junior, captain) and Megan Lane (graduate student) and goalie Brittany Fitzgerald (senior, captain). The team’s offense is looking to heat-up with the addition of freshmen Natalie Popescu and Macey Rafter, and the return of seniors Anya Polovina and Zaida Muñoz.

University of California-Santa Barbara

This is the fourth season for the women’s club water polo team at the University of California-Santa Barbara. Senior captains Shelby Cleland and Alyson Huber have high hopes for their team after returning from the Gauchos first appearance and a 13th place finish at the National Collegiate Club Championship last season for finishing second in the Pacific Coast Division. However, the Pacific Coast Division will have only one bid to the championship in 2014, as UC-Santa Barbara will need to win the group’s title to make the postseason. Dan Loman returns for his second year coaching the Gauchos, along with sophomore players Faith Aguirre, Katie Owens, Amy Wolf and Heather Borek-Klempfner. Returning juniors Tahnia Mark, Frankie Puerzer and Molly Connolly join a handful of new players as the Gauchos will work to make this year a season to remember.

University of Southern California

The University of Southern California is excited for the upcoming season after placing third (2013), fifth (2009), seventh (2012) and eighth (2010, 2011) over the past five seasons. Welcoming several new players to the team this year the Ladies of Troy will need to rely on youth against the rest of the division’s experience. Five starters graduated, and three other seniors, graduated after last season, but USC has faith the freshmen have the potential to fill their shoes. Sophomore Katie Murphy will see substantial playing time at goalie again this year, while senior Jen Marshall will be a key part of the offense.

SIERRA PACIFIC DIVISION California State University-Chico

California State University-Chico is geared for another competitive campaign with head coach Greg Ahtye and assistant coach Amy Crawford. The young squad has both new and returning talent that is promising. Despite the loss of key scorer Kaitlyn Tolin, returning starter Katie Dresenga and lefty Jamie Elliott will lead the team on offense. Two-meter players Adrienne Beaudreau and Kelly Whitey will continue to keep the Wildcats’ offense strong. Returning starters and defensive two-meter guards Tori Loomis and Rachel Brearley will be utilized around the tank, while goalie Tayma Ueltzen is relied upon in net. Incoming talents include transfer Nicole Morelos and speedy freshman Kelly Carson. The team hopes to return to the National Collegiate Club Championship for the third time in six years in the 2014 season after finishing as the Sierra Pacific Division runner-up in both 2008 and 2009.

California State University-Fresno

The Bulldogs of California State University-Fresno are looking forward to a new season. Continuing players Marissa Muro, Courtney Dewitt, Taylor McGrath, Kayla Gilmore, Elizabeth Brown, Nicole Greene and Cassie Niino are ready to come back with a stronger season after finishing sixth in the Sierra Pacific Division in 2013. The 2007 Sierra Pacific and National Collegiate Club Champions, the Bulldogs will also rely on newcomers Caitlyn Cardoza, Mikayla Mangrum, Maddy Chavez, Jazmin Alcazar, Syndy Banker, Lauren Rodrigues and freshman goalie Marissa Leal.

Saint Mary’s College (Calif.)

After acquiring a coach during the offseason, Saint Mary’s College will continue its climb to the top of the Sierra Pacific Division standings after placing seventh last year. The Gaels’ will hope to strengthen the team and build upon the squad’s knowledge and experience as polo players.

University of California-Berkeley

After making their first appearance at the National Collegiate Club Championship hosted by the University of Minnesota last season by finishing as the runner-up in the Sierra Pacific Division, the Lady Bears are anticipating another banner year. Cal enters the 2014 season after losing no starters from last year and will be led once again by All-Conference First Team selection/co-captain Marisa Purcell and All-Conference second team picks/co-captain Corinne Schafle and Stephanie Curran. This year Cal picked up some new weapons to bolster an already staunch defense and strong counterattack with the additions of Lamorinda product/freshman Laurie Simon and former Harvard-Westlake standout/sophomore Bella Gonzalez. Panna Felsen and Remy Wallace will once again be the cornerstones of the California defense as they both return to split time in the cage. The Lady Bears are driven towards winning the Sierra Pacific Division and claiming a return trip to the National Collegiate Club Championship. But as coaches Rudy Ramirez and Robert McIntyre emphasize, they will focus on one game at a time as California is part of one of the toughest divisions in the Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA).

University of California-Davis “A”

History could be made in 2014 as the two-time defending National Champion Aggies of the University of California-Davis will work to join seven-time champion California Polytechnic State University

26


and three-time victor Michigan State University as the only teams to win three or more Women’s National Collegiate Club titles. Last year, the Aggies battled it out against the University of Central Florida at the University of Minnesota to pick up a 6-5 win and claim the program’s second national title in as many years. Courtesy the win, UC-Davis joined Cal Poly (2003-2005, 2008-2011) and Michigan State (2001-2002) as the only teams to notch back-to-back National Championships. In 2012, the Aggies made history by capturing the program’s first National Collegiate Club Championship title at Florida State University in an exciting rematch of the 2011 championship game against Cal Poly. Just the second team in league history to win a National Championship without entering the tournament as a division champion, the 2012 Sierra Pacific Division runner-up Aggies downed the Mustangs by a 2-1 final score in the lowest scoring title game in the record books for all levels of collegiate water polo (varsity/club). This year, UC-Davis will once again look to dominate on the division and national stages due to the depth and experience brought about by the past two title runs. Captains Sarah Skinker and Chelsie Bryan will establish key offensive leadership, while fellow seniors Juliana Bremer and Danica Fascella contribute unfailing speed and a sturdy defensive foundation. The dominating junior class, represented by the exceptional defensive consistency of Liz Mock and the overall offensive skills of Kaylin Claypool and Tyler Brown, also boasts two commanding left-handers in Denise Hager and Rebecca Cullinan. Sophomores Aleya Spielman and Michaela Tillinghast will contribute unique abilities to lead a talented, versatile group of underclassmen. Impressive newcomers Amanda Lilliedoll, Casey Adams and George Washington University transfer/former varsity player Erin Donoghue are projected to provide solid offensive threats. Junior/goalie Veronika Mach will guide the Aggies on the defensive end. Led by seasoned coach Jonny Gullone, UC-Davis is determined to continue its legacy of success that is driven by the goal of capturing their next Collegiate Club Championship in 2014.

University of California-Davis “B”

The University of California-Davis “B” team hopes to surprise the league with their talent. The squad will provide additional playing chances for the Aggies’ younger players to gain experience for future National Collegiate Club Championship runs.

University of California-Santa Cruz

The Banana Slugs of the University of California-Santa Cruz enter their fifth season with the Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) in hopes of claiming another division championship after grabbing the 2010 and 2012 Sierra Pacific Division plaques. Returning senior captains Maya Zelcer and Kelsey Anderson will help UCSanta Cruz make another run at the title and a return trip to the National Collegiate Club Championship. Leading scorer Anderson has continued to make the Slugs a strong opponent on the offensive end of the pool, while goalie Zoe Agapinan has proven to be a significant defensive asset. Many new players, including freshmen

Emma Formato, Ana Blanco and Olivia Mesches, have the potential to improve the program in the years to come.

SOUTHEAST DIVISION Emory University “A”

The 2014 season has plenty in store for the Emory University Eagles “A” team. With another year comes more growth, and the team fielded this year is one of the strongest in recent memory.
