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. 2015 Men’s Guide Table of Contents About the CWPA..................................................................Pages 2-3 CWPA Timeline.........................................................................

WATER POLO

Fouls

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

CWPA Sportsmanship Statement

2

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


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 (CWPA) 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 Collegiate Water Polo Association 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 National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) 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 attend the championship and are seeded by the division coaches.

Sport Club Class

Teams are divided into divisions based on geography, travel concerns and other conference affiliations of some programs (i.e., the Big Ten Division). The top team from each division championship qualifies for either the Division III National Collegiate Club Championship or the 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 seeding alternating between regions.

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.

Colonial Division

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

Florida Division

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.

Great Lakes Division

Teams are divided into brackets based on finish last season. The top team(s) from the bottom bracket move into the top group for the championship and the remaining teams play round robin among themselves to determine final places.

Heartland 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.

Mid-Atlantic Division

Teams are divided into two brackets based on ability, each with their own championship. The best team from the bottom bracket has the option of moving into the top bracket for the “A� championship if desired.

Missouri Valley 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.

6


New England Division

Texas Division

New York Division

Tie Breaker System - All Situations

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. Teams play four games within their region, followed by a crossover event where they compete against four 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 seven 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.

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

Tie Breaker System - Two Teams

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

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

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.

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.

Sierra Pacific Division

(for advancement w/in championships)

Northwest Division

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

Pacific Coast 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.

Rocky Mountain 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.

Southeast 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.

Southwest 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.

7

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.

CWPA VARSITY

Harvard University

NORTHERN DIVISION Brown University

Brown University will face a difficult challenge in repeating its championship performance from last season as the Bears enjoyed one of their most successful seasons in decades. In 2014, the Bears won their first Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) title since 1985 and earned the program’s first appearance at the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Championship since 1990. Brown graduated a pair of all-conference performers in Nick Deaver and Henry Fox, who finished his career as the program’s all-time points leader. Ninth-year head coach Felix Mercado will turn to seniors Will Klein and Matty Gallas for veteran leadership on this year’s team. Klein earned Association of Collegiate Water Polo Coaches (ACWPC) Honorable Mention All-America honors a season ago while leading the team with 122 ejections drawn. The Bears return several other sophomores and juniors who gained experience with last year’s team including junior goalkeeper Luke Weiser. Brown also welcomes four newcomers to the team in freshmen Travis Bouscaren, Spencer Carroll, Santiago Nunez and Will Renken.

Connecticut College

Entering the program’s 15th season as a varsity sport, the Camels of Connecticut College begin 2015 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 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

TEAM PROFILES

The Fordham University Rams will be looking to improve upon last year’s Fourth Place final standing in the Northern Division, but will have to do so without three-time All-Division selection and 2014 Honorable Mention All-America goalkeeper Noah LeBeau. Perhaps the biggest preseason question is which of the Rams’ three goalkeepers will win the job to start the season; will it be senior Patrick Harrigan, who played the most backup minutes last season, or one of two sophomores - Bryce Charles or Adam Jahns. Senior drivers and team captains, David DeFontes and Bobby Wurtz, will lead a solid, experienced squad that features Second Team All-Northern Division selection R.J. Simmons, who paced the Rams with career-highs of 58 goals, 47 assists and 105 points, plus senior Andrew Gonzalez, whose 36 goals last season ranked second on the team, and graduate student Ethan Hallowell, a transfer from Stanford University who doubles as a National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) and Olympic qualifier in sprint freestyle swimming. Of the underclassmen, big roles are expected for standout sophomore Ethan Vandeventer and freshmen Magnus Sims and J.J. Meador.

The Friends of Harvard Water Polo Head Coach, Ted Minnis, enters his sixth season after coaching the men’s team to one of its most successful seasons ever last year. The Crimson finished with a 22-10 mark and picked up the most wins since 2000. Harvard finished second at the Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) Northern Division Championship for its second consecutive season and went an undefeated 5-0 for the first time in school history on its annual California road trip. Harvard returns a wealth of depth, led by senior co-captain Ben Zepfel, who led the Crimson with 92 goals last season. Zepfel was named to the All-Northern First Team for the second consecutive season. Junior co-captain Joey Colton racked up 121 assists, 58 goals and 47 steals en route to earning CWPA Northern Player of the Year honors and was All-America honorable mention. Colton was the second Harvard player to be named to an All-America in as many years, as Zepfel earned the distinction in 2014. Sophomore Colin Chiapello was an all-around force last season in his rookie campaign. Chiapello posted 34 goals, while assisting on 33 and was second on the team with 40 steals and earned CWPA Rookie of the Year honors. Blake Lee was second on the team with 82 goals and 47 assists and earned a spot on the CWPA All-Northern second team. Colin Woolway also earned a spot on the CWPA All-Northern second team after making 286 stops in net last season.

Iona College

Iona College, under the leadership of Brian Kelly in his 21st year wth the Gales, will look to improve on last year’s 11th place finish at the Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) Championship after receiving an At-Large bid to the 2014 tournament. Thanks to a mix of veteran leadership and a fresh batch of new talent, the Gaels are primed to return to the upper echelon of East Coast water polo.

Massachusetts Institute of Technology

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology will strive to build on its 16-17 record from a year ago under then first-year head coach Dave Andriole. Andriole returns for another go at claiming the program’s inaugural Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) Championship crown as he guided the Engineers to a No. 6 Division III National Ranking, a 11-9 upset win over 2014 CWPA Champion Brown University and closed the regular season by taking the title at the Division III Championship before qualifying for the CWPA Championship at the United States Naval Academy. MIT, which placed 10th at the CWPA Championship following a 9-8 loss to Fordham University in the Ninth Place game, has designs on moving up within both the Northern Division and the entirety of the CWPA as the Engineers will boast a mix of veteran leadership and new faces in 2015.

Saint Francis College Brooklyn

Arguably the most successful water polo program in the Northern Division of the Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) during the 21st century, the Terriers of Saint Francis College Brooklyn experienced something last year for the first time since 2011 - the CWPA Championship title game from the stands rather than the water. The 2005, 2010, 2012 and 2013 CWPA Champion, with runner-up finishes in 2000, 2004 and 2007, Saint Francis Brooklyn

15


once again be a power in both the Northern Division and the entirety of the league structure in 2015. However, the leader of the team changes with the new season as former Olympian Igor Zagoruiko replaces Srdjan Mihaljevic, who resigned from his post at the conclusion of the 2015 campaign, as the program’s coach. Zagoruiko, a former member of the Kazakhstan National Team, played in the 2000 and 2004 Summer Olympics for his native country and brings a wealth of knowledge taking home gold medals in the 1994 and 1998 Asian Games with a bronze at the 1995 World Military Games. A key to the team’s success will be integrating six freshmen into the program as nearly half of the Terriers’ 13-man roster will be making their intercollegiate debuts this season.

SOUTHERN DIVISION, EASTERN REGION Bucknell University

Bucknell University is coming off a strong 17-9 campaign that featured it advancing to the Southern Championships title game for the fourth time in five years and posting its 11th consecutive top-five showing at the Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) Championship. Five starters, including the leading point scorer and both players at the all-important center position, return as Bucknell aims to improve on last year’s record, which was at least eight games over .500 for the first time since the program’s last National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) berth in 1985. “Last year was OK,” commented Bison fifth-year head coach John McBride. “We went to California and had a lot of success, but we were a little overconfident going into the CWPA Championship and that hurt us.” Bucknell’s mid-season trip to California featured an unblemished 5-0 record and marked the first time a Bison squad had returned from the west coast without a loss. Bucknell, which climbed as high as No. 12 in the national polls and finished the season at No. 17, defeated four ranked opponents on the trip. “A lot of guys are going to have to step up this year,” said McBride, who helped the Bison equal

their most wins since 2008 last fall. “We didn’t lose a lot in terms of numbers, but we will see some players stepping into new roles. We have good leadership and will build upon lessons from last year.” The team also has a strong advantage going into the season because they had the opportunity to take a training trip to Serbia and Greece this past May. McBride thinks the trip, which featured a handful of games against talented club programs, mainly helped the younger players on the team as well as the development of centers Jeff Hagen and Nate Hunter. The three seniors on the roster — Stefan Aleksic, Jedd Thayer and Max Wilder — are team captains. Aleksic, a two-time Honorable Mention All-America, will lead the way in the pool. The Belgrade, Serbia, native has been one of the best players in the Collegiate Water Polo Association since his rookie campaign. He led the Bison with 89 points (53g, 36a) last fall and has scored at least 40 goals each season. He enters his final year with 146 goals and 122 assists in his career, both team-high figures. “Stefan is going to have to be a leader in the pool,” noted McBride, who has led Bucknell to a 63-46 mark over his first four years on the Kinney Natatorium pool deck. “I look to him to keep things calm and organized. If he is healthy, then we have a chance to be good because the defense has to guard him, which leaves everybody else open.” McBride praises the other two captains for the fact they have accepted and embraced their roles. The duo of Thayer and Wilder has combined for 14 goals and 17 assists in 80 career appearances. “Jedd and Max are great leaders,” said McBride. “They always work hard at practice and are always ready to answer the call. Their teammates have a lot of respect for them.” A strong center position is a hallmark of McBride-led teams and this year will be no exception. Hagen, a sophomore, started the second half of the year and ranked third on the team with 40 goals. His 38 ejections drawn were second on the squad to Hunter, a junior who drew 58 to go along with his 10 goals. “We have a solid one-two punch at center,” mentioned McBride. “Even experienced centers start off slow, but we plan on making sure they are up to speed and feeling confident at championship time of year. Both guys had great performances in Serbia this summer and I expect them to be the focus of our offense.” Junior Sean Daley was one of only two Bison to start all 26 games last year and he ranked fourth on the team with 28 goals. His 44 assists led the squad. “Sean is an impact player who is going to have to step up and play like a veteran,” said McBride. “He is going to have to be really good defensively and make smart decisions.” Juniors R.J. Moore and Ratimir Babic along with sophomore Tommy Stupp will also see increased roles in 2015 after being secondary focuses last year. Moore has played in 50 games (32 starts) over the last two seasons and has netted 27 goals and dished out 16 assists. “R.J. is big. He has packed on some muscle,” noted McBride. “He is motivated and has learned a lot. It took him a couple years to grow into the center defender position, but we now expect him to be the anchor of our defense.” Babic is a veteran of 48 games (23 starts) and has totaled 32 goals and 17 assists in his first two campaigns. “Ratimir is a very important tool who has matured a lot with his game,” praised McBride. “It took him a little while to get used to our philosophies, but he has really bought in. He is a great shooter from the outside and a fast swimmer.” Stupp, whose older brother Johnny played at Bucknell from 2006-09, was a key reserve last year, but will challenge for a starting position this year. He totaled four goals and two assists in 24 outings last fall. “Tommy is a smart player who is really fast,” commented McBride. “He trained in Serbia all summer, which shows his commitment to the sport of water polo and to our team. He played some important minutes last year and is going to get a lot more this season.” With the graduation of two-year starter Keegan Williams, there will be a new face in goal this season. Junior Patrick McKenzie and sophomore Charlie Niehaus enter preseason practice

battling for the position. McKenzie has played in seven games over the last two seasons and has a .528 save percentage. Niehaus started in two of his three appearances last year and posted 14 saves against just 10 goals allowed. Junior Matt Bresnahan saw action in 21 games last year and the team’s lone lefty will try to increase his playing time this season, as will sophomore Jordan White, who appeared in 12 contests as a rookie. McBride expects the freshman class to be key contributors this year. There are four newcomers - Borna Bolanca, Johnathan Coleman, Marko Djordjevic and Danny Farmer - and all four have a chance at pushing the veterans and breaking into the lineup. While some new faces will be in the pool this year, McBride does not expect to change much else up this season. “We will not do anything different. We don’t need to change,” said McBride when asked about some differences Bison fans might see this fall. “We just need to get better at the fundamentals. Our offensive and defensive philosophies do not change.”

George Washington University

With a new head coach and the addition of eight talented freshmen, the George Washington University men’s water polo team will have a new look in 2015. First-year head coach Adam Foley, who was promoted in the spring after serving as assistant coach last season, and new assistant coach David Carson have spent the preseason trying to change the culture of the program into one that strives for championships. “Our goals for the season are to instill a new culture of competition and championship habits,” said Coach Foley. “Those are our focuses. Whether we’re in first place or last place in our conference, if we haven’t done those things and changed the culture and practiced championship habits then we haven’t achieved our goals for the year.” Coach Foley has been pleased with what he has seen from his team in terms of energy level in the preseason and buying into his vision. “The practice environment that we’ve been able to maintain this preseason, in my opinion, is completely different than anything I’ve ever experienced, both as a head coach and as an assistant coach,” he said. “The energy is unparalleled right now. They’re all very excited and supportive. They’ve all understood what we’re trying to achieve and they’re pushing each other on a daily basis.” Eight freshmen join a roster that also includes six returning sophomores among 20 total players. Coach Foley said he is excited about the vitality that his young team will bring but also knows it won’t come without its growing pains. “We’re going to have youth on our side, but that means on the flip side, our weakness will be our youth and inexperience,” he said. “I’m excited about what we can do this year. I’m excited about building a nice foundation that will leave a legacy with this program.” The freshman class in particular brings a lot of versatility with three utility players and a goalkeeper-turned-center defender. “We have some good utility players that can do a little bit of everything and play both sides of the pool,” said Coach Foley. “We have a lot of pieces that can do different things. Versatility is going to be huge for us in general this year, but in that class versatility is very important as we start to figure out who we are and what roles people can contribute in.” The starting lineup will look quite different from the 2014 version, as the Colonials will be without their three leading scorers from a year ago. Brian Mojica, the program’s all-time leader in assists, and Ridvan Pehlivan both graduated; the duo combined for 115 goals and 68 assists last season. In addition, three-time honorable mention All-America Bogdan Petkovic will redshirt this season. Coach Foley believes he has a number of players capable of making up for the lost offensive production. Sophomore Pierce Deamer was impressive during his rookie campaign, ranking fourth on the team in scoring (48 goals, 13 assists) and leading the Colonials with 65 ejections drawn. Senior Jonah Dowd has played nearly every game during his first three seasons,

totaling 48 goals and 45 assists in his career, and will look to end his career on a high note. Freshman James McLean out of New Zealand should step into the starting center position vacated by Pehlivan. Coach Foley expects sophomore Duke Becker to get more playing time this year after scoring 19 goals in his inaugural season, and he said Noah McKinnie Braun is a sleeper in the sophomore class after seeing limited action in 2014. “I think a sophomore to keep an eye on would be Noah Braun,” the coach said. “Noah put in all the work in the offseason, did everything (strength and conditioning coach) Matt Johnson asked of him in the weight room, he put on a lot of strength, he worked on his perimeter shot, and became a better team defender. I expect that he will play a lot more minutes this year.” While Petkovic led GW in scoring last season, Coach Foley said his absence will be felt more on the defensive end of the pool, where the center defender was a force, setting the program record for career field blocks in just three seasons and ranking second all-time in steals. “Bogdan was such a cornerstone to the defense that in some ways it allowed other people to not focus because he’s such a great defender that he cleans up other people’s mistakes,” said Coach Foley. “We’ve spent a lot of time this preseason focusing on team defense. I think in a way his absence will force us all to be better team defenders. We’re not going to be able to replace someone like Bogdan with one person, so we have to focus on the team concept of defense.” In doing so, the Colonials will rely on their versatility as a number of players take on new positions. “Everyone is going to be in a new role this year, everyone gets the opportunity to change who they were,” said Coach Foley. “We’re going to have a lot of people playing minutes in different areas than they ever have before.” Sophomore Quentin Montgomery, who appeared in 26 games last season as Pehlivan’s backup at center, will shift to center defense this year. At 6-foot-4, Montgomery is long and strong. Freshman Austin Pyrch, a goalkeeper by trade, will also see time at center defense. “He’s a great athlete,” Coach Foley said of the 6-foot-4 Pyrch, who is also a member of GW’s swimming and diving team. “He’s got the skill set -- he’s really fast, really long, very strong. It’s just getting the game reps in there. I believe he could be a fantastic center defender, but he’s just got to get the experience.” For the first time since 2009, GW’s roster includes more than two goalkeepers, and Coach Foley said it will be an open competition for the starting job. Senior Connor Dillon is a two-year starter who posted a career-best .488 save percentage in 2014 while nearing 200 saves for the second year in a row. Junior Sander Profaci saw increased playing time last season, recording a 9.62 goals-against average and .507 save percentage in 42 quarters. Both will be pushed by freshman Matt Taylor, another New Zealand product who has impressed during preseason, and Coach Foley expects Pyrch to see some time in the cage at some point during the season as well.

Johns Hopkins University

The Johns Hopkins University Blue Jays earned 14 wins a year ago, including the 400th win in program history. Hopkins returns a host of experience under head coach Ted Bresnahan as the team seeks its 16th Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) Division III Championship and the program’s first-ever CWPA title. Seniors Kevin Yee and Langdon Froomer will serve as captains for the Blue Jays this season. Yee ranks in the top 15 in school history with 139 career points and the top 10 in assists (75). Last season, he was second on the team in ejections drawn (30) and fourth in assists (19) and blocks (six). Froomer had a breakout season in 2014 and earned All-America honors after totaling 77 points (43 goals, 34 assists). He led the team in assists, while ranking second in points and third in goals. Henrikson led the team in saves (171) and steals (59), while also handing out 14 assists in 73 quarters played in the cage.

17


Overall, the Blue Jays are anchored by five seniors that have guided the Blue Jays to 60 wins in their first three years. Joining Yee and Froomer are classmates Blake Range, Garrett Davidson and goalie Eric Henrikson. These seniors will provide three years of collegiate experience together to help the Blue Jays reach their goals this season. Range totaled 16 points a year ago, while also grabbing 14 steals. Davidson was a key part of a Blue Jay defense that allowed 10 goals per game last season. He also put up 20 goals and handed out 14 helpers to go with 38 steals. All-America selection/ junior Matt Fraser will add his two years of starting experience to give JHU one of the most experienced line-ups in schools history. Froomer and Henrikson, both All-America picks, will provide leadership both on the offensive and defensive sides of the pool. Last year’s CWPA Division III Freshman of the Year, Jono Gillette will add Hopkins international experience to this year’s campaign. Hopkins graduated a pair of First Team All-America honorees in Johnny Beal and Wes Hopkins. Beal led the Blue Jays in goals (53) and points (86) while ranking second in assists (33) and steals (39) in 2014. He finished his career ranked third in school history in career assists (146), fourth in points (308), ninth in steals (117) and 12th in goals (162). Hopkins led the team in blocks (15) while ranking second in goals (46) and third in points (65) in 2014. He concluded his career ranked third in school history in career points (334), fourth in assists (138), seventh in steals (150) and 10th in goals (196). He also holds school single-game records for points (14), goals (nine) and assists (seven). Hopkins will add six freshmen to this year’s squad that will include three California/Hawaiian All-Americans in Giorgio Cico, Andreas Katsis and Spencer Witte. Henrikson returns for his final season in the cage and is joined by sophomore John Wilson and Witte. Henrikson ranks third in school history with 476 career saves and ranks sixth in career steals (158). Wilson saw action in 36 quarters as a rookie and turned aside 109 shots to go with 12 steals. Witte comes to Hopkins after earning league goalie of the year honors..

Princeton University

Princeton University posted a 23-4 overall record and 7-1 mark in Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) Southern Division play a year ago. Capturing the program’s eighth Southern title with a 1210 victory over Bucknell University, Princeton dispatched Johns Hopkins (18-5 W) and Navy (6-3 W) in the first two rounds of the CWPA Championship to advance to it second-consecutive CWPA title game. However, the Tigers dropped a hard-fought decision to Brown University, 7-6, to finish as the league runner-up. Thomas Nelson and Jamie Kuprenas headline the Tigers’ senior class that will look to help Princeton return to the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Championship as the team’s co-captains. An honorable mention Association of Collegiate Water Polo Coaches (ACWPC) All-America selection and CWPA Southern Division First Team honoree last season, Nelson finished third on the squad in goals (40), while also amassing 29 steals, 13 assists, 15 drawn ejections and nine blocks. Scoring a goal in each of his first eight appearances, Nelson had 11 multi-goal games and was twice named the CWPA Southern Player of the Week. Starting 25 of his 27 appearances, Kuprenas led the team with 31 assists, while also collecting in 19 goals, 34 steals, 26 drawn ejections and nine blocks. In three seasons in Orange & Black, Kuprenas has appeared in 80 games, recording 53 goals and 67 assists. Bradley Wachtell rounds out the Tigers’ senior class, tallying three goals, four assists and seven blocks in 27 appearances a year ago. Jovan Jeremic, Bret Hinrichs and Curtis Fink make up Princeton’s solid junior class. Building on a successful rookie campaign that saw him claim CWPA Southern Rookie of the Year honors, Jeremic appeared in all 27 contests a year ago, making

10 starts. Finding the back of the opposing net 33 times, he also registered 22 assists and 16 steals while drawing eight ejections. Fink netted 17 goals in 2014 to go along with 11 assists, 30 drawn ejections and four blocks. Over the course of his first two seasons, Fink has appeared in 55 matches, collecting 37 goals, 22 assists and 60 drawn ejections. Hinrichs started two of his 27 appearances last season, notching 12 goals. Also nabbing nine steals, he finished with nine drawn ejections, two blocks and two assists. Vojislav Mitrovic leads Princeton’s sophomore class after enjoying a stellar rookie season that saw him earn honorable mention ACWPC All-America and First Team CWPA All-Southern accolades. Posting an 18-3 overall record, he logged 663:37 minutes in net with a 0.604 save percentage. Also amassing 23 steals and 10 assists, he garnered three Southern Division Defensive Player of the Week selections and registered double-digit saves in 16 of his 22 appearances. Making an immediate impact as a freshman, Jordan Colina started 20 of Princeton’s 27 games, finishing second on the team in goals (50) while nabbing a team-high 45 steals. Also going 73-6 (0.920) on sprints, he scored a goal in all but two appearances and factored into the scoring in all 27 of the team’s contests. Connor McGoldrick started three of his 27 appearances, tallying 18 goals, 17 assists, 21 steals, 27 drawn ejections, and four blocks. Eric Bowen drew 18 ejections and had 11 goals and seven steals in 24 games last season, while Ryan Hammarskjold saw time in 16 matches. Princeton water polo will welcome four new faces to the fold this season. Ryan Melosini gives the Tigers depth at goalkeeper, while Matt Payne, Michael Swart, and Ryan Wilson compete for time in the field.

United States Naval Academy

A veteran-laden roster will lead the United States Naval Academy water polo team into action this season as second-year head coach Mladen Stanicic and the Mids will face a challenging 21-game regular season schedule in hopes of collecting its 10th Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) Championship title and an automatic bid into the 2015 National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Championship tournament. Navy ended its first full season under Stanicic with strong Third Place showings in the Southern Division and CWPA Championship last fall. A one-goal defeat to Bucknell University in the semifinals of the CWPA Southern and low-scoring defensive slugfest loss to Princeton University in the CWPA semifinals look to provide ammunition for the 2015 team and its goals. A talented and proven 12-person senior class will be leaned upon to provide a large bulk of production this season. 2013 All-America selections Carl Dowzicky and Carpenter Warren, 2015 team captain Will Weggeland and center Robert Sutherland will give Navy four scorers with over 100 career points. “I look for a high level achievement from the team this season,” said head coach Mladen Stanicic. “The landscape of collegiate water polo is changing as more and more teams are putting together talented rosters. There will be no pushovers this season and our work will be cut for us, but I have great faith in this team. Our 12-man senior class is one of the deepest and best we have ever had and I look forward to our athletes fulfilling their potential.” Among the attackers, replacing 2014 All-America and senior standout Thomas Patterson (64 goals, 24 assists in 2014) will be one of Navy’s biggest priorities in 2015, but the talented duo of Dowzicky and Warren should be more than up to the task. Dowzicky recorded a stat line of 35 goals, 12 assists and 19 steals as a junior last season, while Warren notched 81 points on 57 goals and 24 assists to go along with 27 steals. “Carl and Carpenter are two very different players, but they work well together and we expect a lot from them,” said Stanicic. “Carpenter is the premier goal scorer on our team and he possesses great offensive skill, but we’d like to see more

18


consistent output on the defensive end. Carl on the other hand is an excellent defender and has been an asset for the team in that role. However, we’re looking to get an increase in his offensive production; in the past he has shown he is capable of such production.” Senior Thomas Allen and sophomore Matt Skowronski are two players that took large leaps forward in their roles with the team in 2014. Coming into his junior year, Allen had 29 total points before recording a career-high 25 points on 11 goals and 14 assists last season. As a freshman, Skowronski appeared in 28 of Navy’s 31 games and notched 14 points on seven goals and seven assists. “Thomas has given us a very high level of defensive effort and he uses his outstanding speed to aid our transition game,” remarked Stanicic. “Likewise, Matt has shown himself to be a very reliable defender. He possesses one of better outside shots on the team. We will look for improved offensive output from both Thomas and Matt this season.” Senior Richard Thomas and junior Taylor Peterson are two upperclassmen who could find themselves receiving important playing time particularly in certain situations. Juniors Patrick Carmody and Jack Orchard, as well as sophomores Ian Bagent, Gabe Gaspar, J.B. Lee, Tim McCown, Jack Robinson, Shepherd Warren and Tyler Zimmerman are also slated to see time as attackers on Navy’s offense. At center/center defense, Navy should be strong again as seniors Will Weggeland and Robert Sutherland return with 100 combined points between the two during 2014. Weggeland recorded his second straight 50-plus point season last fall with 44 goals and 10 assists. He is seven goals shy of having 100 for his career. Sutherland has had a similar career arc to that of Weggeland as he has found the back of the net in 96 occasions during his time as a Mid. In 2014, Sutherland notched 46 points on 33 goals and 13 assists. “Will is currently nursing an injury so we will leave him on the sidelines for early non-conference play, but we envision him coming back and filling a very important role as a center for us when he’s healthy,” said Stanicic. “In his absence, we have the utmost regard for Robert’s ability. He has impressed us throughout the preseason and is trending upward as the season nears.” David Huber is the leading scorer amongst Navy’s juniors. After recording 13 points as a freshman in 2013, the 6’6 Pennsylvania native, had a breakthrough 2014 season with 34 points on 27 goals and seven assists. Huber was also one of many returning Mids to shine in offseason play this spring. “Since last season, David has really taken a big stride forward,” acknowledged Stanicic. “This year he will be stepping into a much greater role than he has seen in the past.” Sophomore Jared Castillo is also expected to see expanded action at the center position, while Weggeland is

sidelined. In limited play in 2014, Castillo scored four goals and had an assist in 12 games. Navy’s leader as a central defender in 2015 will be senior Steven Emde. An imposing figure at 6’7, Emde registered a career-high 36 points on 15 goals and 21 assists as a junior in 2014. A skilled passer, he had the third-most assists last fall. “Steven has added a new dimension to his game this offseason. We are very excited to see him display it in official competition,” said Stanicic. “He has continually improved during his time at Navy.” Kyle Koenig, a fellow senior, who recorded career-highs in games played, goals and points in 2014 will be counted on to give the center defense position quality depth behind Emde this season. “Kyle has put together the most impressive preseason camp of anyone on our roster,” remarked Stanicic. “He’s shown very consistent play at the two-meter defensive position and will see important minutes for us this season.” Other Midshipmen that Stanicic envisions earning time at the center and center defensive positions, include juniors Brendan Metcalf and Evan Staresinic and sophomore Lunsford Schock. Navy will have the luxury of have a deep and talented crop of goalies in 2015. The Mids return four senior keepers in Beau Bayless, Caleb Lintz, Garrett Sabesky and Joseph Rodgers, who combined to make 229 saves and post a .490 save percentage last season. “All four goalies are quite consistent and have shown very solid skills,” said Stanicic. “Beau has surfaced since last season as a player who will give us a little extra at the position. Garrett will still be called upon to see important minutes and will be used when certain matchups call for his skill set.” Needing to replace nine players off its 2014 roster, the Mids will bring six freshmen players into the fold this season. Navy’s large senior class will allow this year’s crop of newcomers to be slowly immersed into critical minutes. One plebe that has stepped up in the preseason and should push for playing time immediately is Taylor Bernhardt. An Annapolis native, Bernhardt is familiar with the Navy way of play from coming through the club ranks with the Navy Aquatic Club. A 2013-14 NISCAA Third Team All-America selection, Bernhardt will see early minutes as an attacker. “Taylor has a very similar skill set to that of Thomas Patterson, our leading scorer and All-America from last season,” said Stanicic. “He has impressed us and we foresee him stepping into the role that Thomas had sometime in the future, possibly even this season.” Greg Gruseck, Jordan Hay, Joe Orr, Conor Sullivan and goalie Francis Kim make up the rest of the 2015 freshmen. “We brought in a small, but very solid class of plebes,” remarked Stanicic. “They bring very good size and great potential to our program.”

Jackson Rehmet, Brennan Russell and Otis Tyson join the squad for their first seasons and will provide depth to the roster.

SOUTHERN DIVISION, WESTERN REGION Gannon University

Led by new head coach Sean Morphy, the Golden Knights of Gannon University will look to turn the page and start a new chapter in the program’s long history. Gannon concluded last season with an 8-9 overall mark and 3-2 Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) Southern Division-West Region record. The Golden Knights captured their second consecutive seventh-place finish at the Southern Division Championship and claimed the program’s first-ever Division II Championship.

Mercyhurst University

The Mercyhurst University men’s water polo team enters the 2015 season with plenty of returning firepower but will welcome 11 new faces to a young roster as it looks to improve on its 15-13 showing from a year ago – the program’s ninth consecutive winning season. Head coach Curtis Robinette returns for his 14th as the Lakers’ boss and sports a 159-156 overall record at Mercyhurst. However, that includes just 14 wins over the span of his first four seasons. Over his last nine campaigns, Robinette has guided the Lakers to an average of 16 wins per season including a program-record 23 victories in 2012. Joining Robinette on the coaching staff is former Laker, Justin Deis, who returns to Mercyhurst following a one-year stint as an assistant coach at William Penn Charter. There, Deis helped Penn Charter to just the program’s second Easterns Tournament Championship in its history. A native of Perkasie, Pa., Deis was a four-year member of the Mercyhurst water polo team and scored 29 goals in his collegiate career. Expected to lead the Lakers in 2015 is senior Dave Matulis, who returns after being named a First Team Association of Collegiate Water Polo Coaches (ACWPC) Division II All-America and earning a spot on the All-CWPA Southern Division Second Team a year ago. Matulis put together his finest season as a Laker in 2014, finishing with a team-high 47 goals and ranking third on the team with 52 points. Matulis is just one of three seniors on this year’s squad as Jordan Hodur and Christian Dudley also return for their final seasons. Hodur scored 29 goals and added 15 assists for 44 points a year ago while Dudley chipped in with eight goals and 13 assists for 21 points. Junior Jack Howe also returns after a fine sophomore campaign during which he scored 30 goals and 19 assists for 49 points while also leading the team with 35 steals. In goal, all three keepers from last season return and will compete for playing time. Junior Andrew Too-A-Foo saw the most action in goal last season, appearing in 14 games and posting 119 saves. Sophomores Kevin Doyle (13 games) and Gene Bilbao (10 games) also saw plenty of action last season and performed well during their minutes. Mercyhurst must find a way to replace its two leading scorers from a year ago in Alex Strong (46 goals, 29 assists, 75 points) and Joe Yamamoto (35 goals, 29 assists, 64 points). But, Robinette brought in 11 new faces that should help contribute immediately and provide the team with depth at several positions. Headlining the list of newcomers is Connor Schmitz who is expected to see action at center alongside Matulis. Schmitz joins the Lakers from Arlington Heights, Ill., where he was a First Team All-State selection. Also expected to see significant playing time are Ivan Ariza, Matt Bachler, Alec Diaz, and Philip Jenny. Ariza, a native of Chicago, Ill., was a two-time First Team All-City selection and a two-time Second Team All-Section member. Bachler, also from Chicago, was a Second Team All-State honoree and a two-time First Team All-Section member. Diaz (Orlando, Fla.) and Jenny (Lawrenceville, Georgia) also earned numerous accolades during their high school careers. Additionally, Jonathan Beltran, Ryan Mercando, Noah Ratliff,

Monmouth College

Monmouth College enters its third season as a varsity program with a new coach and a new attitude. Peter Ollis took the reins over the summer and has infused a new attention to detail. The Fighting Scots should have plenty of firepower for Ollis’ “first go around” at the Illinois school. Junior Raheem Brown, who led the Scots in scoring during their inaugural season in 2013, and last year’s scoring leader/sophomore Julius Bradsfield return to lead a now-veteran group. Seniors Jihad Ramadan and Alex Hernandez are locked in a battle in the net. Nine returners and a host of talented freshmen have the Scots optimistic they can have a breakout year in 2015.

Pennsylvania State University-Erie, The Behrend College

The Lions of Penn State-Behrend are looking to cause a few upsets as the season kicks off. Seniors Ty Elder, Hasan Khan and Victor Nguyen will lead a team that is looking to make a break-through in 2015 to compete among the top-tier of the Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA). Seven freshmen dot the Behrend Lions’ roster in 2015 as the future of the program looks bright.

Salem International University

The Salem International University team enters the 2015 campaign with a young core of players and will benefit from a deep incoming class to provide much needed depth over the course of the season. The loss of three-year captain Borislav Kovacev, who joins the SIU coaching staff in 2015, will hurt the squad’s offense, however, the addition of five signees to the team should help the Tigers continue a rebuilding process with the goal of a berth to the Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) Championship on the horizon.

Washington & Jefferson College

For the first time in program history last season, Washington & Jefferson College punched its’ ticket to the Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) Championship after earning an at-large bid from the Varsity Governance Council. While the Presidents were unable to secure the league title and earn the programs first trip to the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Men’s Water Polo Championship, a few close contests against Division I competition energized the team heading into 2015. Gone from the squad are former All-America selections Chris DeNunzio, Kevin Dunigan and Mike Magdic, along with many other contributors. DeNunzio was named to the Academic All-America by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) and was the CWPA Men’s Varsity Scholar-Athlete of the Year. Sophomore Mac Hennessy returns as the most experienced goalkeeper on the roster, appearing in 10 matches last season and making 27 saves. Newcomers Zach Bacchus and Ryan Kierstan will challenge for playing time between the pipes. Junior Nicholas Willison, a 2013 All-America as a freshman, is back as is classmate Patrick Fredrick, as the two returning leading scorers. Willison contributed 50 goals and 18 assists a season ago, while Fredrick posted 53 goals (second on the team) and a team-best 66 assists. Seniors Benjamin McGrath (15 goals, 25 assists), Nicholas Williams and Collin Higgins will be counted on for leadership of the largely inexperienced roster that features 13 freshmen and sophomores of the 19 total student-athletes.

CWPA

CLUB TEAM PROFILES North Carolina State University

ATLANTIC DIVISION Duke University

Duke University enters the 2015 season hoping to improve on its 13th place finish at the 2014 National Collegiate Club Championship. The Blue Devils’ offense is led by Atlantic Division Most Valuable Player John Zipf as well as captains Cameron Walker and Kevin Zipf. Contributions should come from numerous sources, including sophomores Wesley Chan, JD Strickland and Coby Wayne. Several newcomers to the Duke team are also expected to play significant roles on both ends of the pool. In particular, goalies Travis Rhea and Will Graham will anchor an opportunistic Duke defense that should aid the Blue Devils’ pursuit of a second straight Atlantic Division title.

Georgetown University

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

Following a Ninth Place finish at the Atlantic Division last year, James Madison University will seek continue its rise in the group to compete for a berth to the National Collegiate Club Championship tournament berth.

Johns Hopkins University

After their first season in the Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA), Johns Hopkins University looks to achieve a greater level of success in 2015. Ranked at No. 2 in the “B” division last year, and coming off defeats of the United States Naval Academy and the University of Maryland in scrimmages during the Spring, young captains Chris Beckmann and Mario Zampaglione are eager to usher their team into the newly organized and competitive Northern geographical division. JHU will continue to rely on its skilled offensive scorers: Jon Ascencio, Lucas Duffy and Austin Bridges, aided by smart passing players Chris Beckmann, Jeff Goldfish and Aaron Lawrence. Due to the loss of talented defensive player Alec Greenberg, Hopkins will focus on keeping a strong defense with sophomore, Will Shellfish, Mitchell Boyer and goalkeeper Mario Zampaglione. Quickly developing players Sam Jackson, Haley Hanson and Matthew Heacock, will prove to be vital subs for the starting roster. JHU’s high morale will continue to be fueled by the committed and enthusiastic Aravind Krishnan. .

After losing five starters, North Carolina State University is looking towards a rebuilding year in 2015. With a winning record the past two years, the Wolfpack hopes to continue the trend this season in division play. The greatest asset to the team is Nikolas Bravo, an experienced goalie who lead NC State to many wins last season. The leadership and experience of captain Zachary Fredricks should help NC State to once again be a power in the Atlantic Division. Returning players Joshua Horner, Michael Dickey, Zachary Shurow, Harry Schrickx, Anna Rehder and Morgan Sox will also add experience and stability to the team.

United States Naval Academy

Having finished in Second Place in the Atlantic Division three years running, the United States Naval Academy has set its sights on the elusive Atlantic Division Championship and a bid to the National Championship. Although the team has graduated several starters and defensive standouts from the class of 2015, the Midshipmen now sports an even deeper bench than the previous year, thanks to the young talent of the class of 2018 and 2019. Navy will look to junior Will Bloom, sophomore Zach Hudgens and freshman Jarod Dodge to lead the offensive charge at set, bringing size and enough substitutes to keep the position fresh and productive throughout every game. On the other half of the pool, junior Brian Cully and Peter Rockhold will use their experience to guard the position. Veteran goalie Brad Jaeb is mentoring his successors in numbers: newcomer/junior Joel Davis, sophomore Slav Khanas and freshman Andrew Jhu are all looking to improve their skills in the cage throughout the year.

University of Maryland

The University of Maryland begins the season with hopes of earning its way back to the National Collegiate Club Championship after the rough waters that was the Terps’ season last year. The off-season was filled with hard work for the returning team members. Teammates were lost to the “real world”, but this year’s team is just as strong as past seasons. Those on the team who participated in Maryland’s trip to the National Collegiate Club Championship in 2013 at the University of California-San Diego have a burning fire to make it again after missing the cut last season.

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). Last year, however, UNC underwent a rebuilding phase with young and inexperienced players making up the majority of the roster. In 2015, the team looks to rise back to its’ previous success and build on last year’s mistakes. North Carolina returns five of seven starters from 2014, including Dylan Blackwell, Michael Kirchner and leading scorer Dominic Moore. After a year of stellar recruitment, the Tarheels boast what could be the number one recruiting class in the division with multiple freshmen who can make an immediate impact. With the combination of senior leadership, including Club President Axel Walden, and young talent, including Omar Trad, look for the UNC to turn some heads.

22


University of Virginia

The University of Virginia is looking to have its best season in program history. Boasting an all-star squad of fourth year starters, Conor McLaughlin, Michael Morrow, Sean Cassady and Tyler Warnock, Virginia is ready to claim the program’s first division championship since 2003. Having lost the highly skilled, sizable starter, Jan Shi, to the University of Southern California’s program, the Wahoos will have to draw heavily upon third year powerhouses Tommy West, Eric McDonald, Luca Fikre, DJ Khaled and Nathan Silvestri.

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. Strong defense and timely offense should help the Hokies dominate the pool at both ends and get Virginia Tech back to the top of the division for the first time since 2009.

BIG TEN DIVISION

University of Illinois

The Fighting Illini of the University of Illinois are eying another strong season after placing Third (2011, 2012) and Fourth (2013, 2014) in the Big Ten Division over the past four seasons.

University of Iowa

Indiana University

After finishing First and Third over the past two seasons in the Big Ten Division, the Hoosiers of Indiana University will strive to remain in the upper tier of the group and once again earn a spot in the National Collegiate Club Championship.

Michigan State University

Success is the norm, not an exception for the Michigan State University Spartans. The Spartans return as the reigning Big Ten Division Champions and look to improve on a 10th place finish at the 2014 National Collegiate Club Championship. The team lost quite a few seniors but return a strong core of experienced players, including All-America goalie Tom Barton and captains Lucas Wilson and Ian Wilson (not related). The team also returns Big Ten Coach of the Year Matt Latham who hopes to repeat the team’s success 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. The 12-time Big Ten champion Spartans will face tough opposition in the Big Ten, but a combination of experience and young talent should make for a great season.

The University of Iowa Hawkeye Nation reloads for its next season, united and eager to challenge their adversaries within the Big Ten. New coach Matt Swiontek stepped down from his role as a player to keep the team on the tip of the spear. While team captains Evan Woodward, Luke Klinker, Kyle Heneghan and Kyle Plotsky advance the group in and out of the water, goalie Noah Ihde will make major contributions to the defense. Seasoned juniors and seniors Jacob Klinker, Bob Meyer, Dominick Williams, Ben Madden and Jake Boettcher are expected to make immense contributions to the success of this squad. Summer recruitment has added over ten experienced players to the Hawkeyes.

University of Michigan

The 2014 Big Ten Division regular season champion, the Wolverines of the University of Michigan are primed to erase the memory of a 7-6 loss to Michigan State University in the division title game to miss out on another trip to the National Collegiate Club Championship. Losing only two seniors and gaining several promising freshman, the 2011 and 2012 Big Ten Division champion Wolverines will strive to take the program’s third National Championship as the two-time National Champions (1998, 2003) are set for another run at the nation’s best and brightest.

University of Wisconsin

Northwestern University

Northwestern University looks to build on last year’s results with a young group of returning players. After losing only center Max Offsay to graduation, seniors Nick Roy, Brady Edwards and David Russell should compensate for the loss from the outside, while Richie Beaumont looks to add a fourth outstanding year in the goal. The team will rely on a young core of sophomores and juniors to fill in the gap at two-meters and provide support on both offense and defense. In particular, returning starters Harry Pollack and Alex West will prove valuable in providing goals on one end and guarding two-meters on the other. A substantial group of incoming students will complete the team and add depth to the Wildcats. With this combination of new and returning players, Northwestern should compete in the Big Ten this year.

Purdue University

all six starting field players. While Purdue’s more senior players are thrilled to compete for another shot at a Big Ten Division Championship under the leadership of Club President Niklaus Sykes, a mix of old and new Boilermakers should keep the squad among the elite in the division for another year. Talented Lucas Allen will be counted on to astonish goalies with his outside shots and quick fast breaks. When he is not open, senior Zachary Peterson will impose his will at set against defenders brave enough to challenge him. Purdue University’s defense is anchored by senior Kristian Altuve. Altuve possesses lengthy arms, excellent game sense, and strength that should allow him to shut down opposing shooters. With multiple players graduating this year, the Boilermakers plan to make this year count.

Purdue University is coming off a year of mediocrity as the team finished in the middle of the pack with a Fifth Place mark in the 2014 Big Ten Division title race. This year’s team, however, is excited to return

After finishing in Sixth Place at the 2014 Big Ten Division tournament, the University of Wisconsin-Madison men’s water polo team is ready to take control of this season. Looking to capitalize on a returning starting lineup, the Badgers have the proper weapons for a high-octane offense. Team captains Evan Horn, James Ruggiero and Edgar Lopez provide offensive versatility. Johnny Louk and Zachary Deal chip in great perimeter shooting and coupled with Derrick Guillen’s skills on both sides of the ball complete what will be a robust team dynamic. In addition , goalie Gerald Porter anchors the defense. A strong bench will be another hallmark of the Badgers in 2015. Brandon Chic’s defensive prowess, combined with Garret Dow and Nick Calderon’s hustle, provides much needed depth. Kevin Feldscher and Brian Andryk further elevate the team above fatigue with their high energy. Despite saying goodbye to several key contributors, Dan Wolak brings invaluable experience that fills what was an unavoidable void. Thanks to fine-tuned team play and philosophy courtesy new coach Chris Henning, the Wisconsin Badgers are looking to shock the Big Ten in what will hopefully prove to be a very promising season.

COLONIAL DIVISION Amherst College

2014 North Atlantic Division Champion Amherst College, which moves to the newly formed Colonial Division for the 2015 season, will work to add another plaque to the program’s annals. The 2011, 2012 and 2014 North Atlantic Champion, the Yo-Ho Penguins reached the North Atlantic title game for five consecutive seasons (2010-to-2014), a streak the team will gun to continue in its new home for the 2015 season.

United States Coast Guard Academy

The United States Coast Guard Academy Bears finished Seventh in the North Atlantic Division last season, a mark the team would look to improve upon in 2015. A two-time division runner-up since 2009, the Bears are seeking their first division title since 2008.

University of Massachusetts

Entering its ninth year in the Collegiate Water Polo Association as a club program, the University of Massachusetts is gearing up to make their mark on the newly formed Colonial Division with a combination of seasoned veterans and promising newcomers. It will likely be a rebuilding year for the Minutemen, who lost top players Connor Levenson, Bill Fritz and Julia Torabi to graduation. However, the team has been training hard and is confident that their hours in the pool will pay off. UMass looks towards senior captain and top scorer Rob Flanagan to lead the team on offense. Senior captain Mark Cardellino appears solid on defense and will work to shut down opponents with junior captain Danny Todd anchoring the defensive line in goal. Also returning are sophomore Hussein Shafei, whose speed and ball-handling skills make him a valuable asset allaround, and senior Colton Kenney, whose strength and athleticism make him a player to watch this season. Senior Sean McLaughlin and sophomore Collin Timmerman will also see playing time as they transfer their speed and endurance from racing back to the game. Sophomore Gabe Hollander, new to the sport last year, has shown great improvement and will should see minutes. After a successful showing at their first tryout, UMass will have some new players to add to the mix and is excited to see what the newcomers bring to the team dynamic.

Wesleyan University

One of the storied programs in the history of Division III water polo, the Wesleyan University Cardinals are ready to challenge the best in the Colonial Division. The team finished Sixth in the New England Division last season, a placement the squad will work to improve upon in the newly created Colonial Division.

Williams College

Williams College continues to build a stronger team as the team returns in perfect form for a championship run in a new division. The four-time division champion Ephs will aim to capture a second division’s crown in three stops as the former North Atlantic Division members claimed four title plaques (1995, 1997, 2000, 2006) in the New England Division.

Worcester Polytechnic Institute

FLORIDA DIVISION Florida Atlantic University

Florida Atlantic University comes into the season with high hopes. Last year, the team finished Fifth at the Florida Division Championship, a mark the squad will like to improve upon by four places in 2015. A total revamping of the club’s recruiting operations has brought about an influx of new skill and talent. Highly skilled freshmen have easily found their place in the team alongside many returning top players who have only improved since last season. Two-meter player Tyler Costolo, who has dominated these past few years by often scoring over five points in each game, will be playing his last season with FAU and great things are expected. Other returning top players include Hunter Smith, Zev Halikman and Daniel Marquez. Playing year-round together for several seasons, these three have developed great chemistry and possess fantastic offensive and defensive abilities. Returning goalie Richard Cook should frustrate other teams’ offenses as he consistently blocks shots from the perimeter, center and one-on-nobody counter attacks. As if the returning squad was not already stacked, new players show great potential. Adam Weigel and JB Bradley both come from State Champion high school teams and many others have a lifetime of competitive swimming experience to add to Florida Atlantic’s speed.

University of Illinois-Chicago

For the University of Illinois-Chicago, a tough luck 12-11 loss to The Ohio State University in the 2014 Great Lakes Division title game is all the motivation the Flames need entering 2015. A solid core of players will lead the charge into this year’s campaign. The loss of Luca Sfogliano will hurt the team, however, the addition of some experienced exchange students and swimming graduates will help strengthen an already potent lineup. The potential exists for another Ohio State-UIC title clash as the Flames saw their two-year run on top of the Great Lakes Division snuffed out via a 7-5 semifinal loss to the eventual champion Buckeyes in 2013 prior to last year’s title tilt defeat. The 2009, 2011 and 2012 Great Lakes champion Flames will strive to once again torch through their division foes and qualify for the National Collegiate Club Championship.

Key returning players include the goal scoring trio of Dillon Oswald, Mitchell Guist and Jude Krauss who provided a bulk of Xavier’s offensive threat in 2014. Seniors Jacob Enriquez and Zach Vogelpohl come back geared to provide senior leadership in the pool. A large returning junior class looks to add depth in the water and a wealth of freshman should fill the void of a weak sophomore recruiting class. In cage, Jim Knowles will once again guard the iron with eyes locked on a potential shot at earning a spot to the National Collegiate Club Championship at the University of California-Santa Cruz.

Pennsylvania State University “A”

The 2014 Mid-Atlantic Division Champion as Pennsylvania State University downed the University of Pennsylvania by a 14-4 for the group title, the Nittany Lions elected to field two teams in the division for the 2015 season. PSU could make history in 2015 as no Mid-Atlantic Division team has repeated as the group’s champion since Penn achieved the feat 2007 and 2008, a fact the Nittany Lions will aim to erase from the league record book. Locked into reclaiming the division championship and dispatching longtime nemeses Penn, Drexel University and Villanova University, the Nittany Lions will need to overcome the Quakers of Pennsylvania and Wildcats of Villanova as the trio has combined for every Mid-Atlantic Division title since Slippery Rock University took home the crown in 2006. Penn State is primed to take the program’s sixth division championship (1998, 2005, 2009, 2012, 2014) as the squad has previously appeared in 11 title games (1998, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2012, 2013, 2014).

Freshman Paul Goertel and Scott Powell control the game from set, while speed demons Steve Serpico and Joe Gaul give SJU the ability to fast break.

University of Pennsylvania

University of Pittsburgh

The University of Pittsburgh hopes to improve upon last season, in which they placed Eighth at the Mid-Atlantic Division Championships and Third in the Western Division. The Panthers are excited about their experienced new recruits with the prospects of making a run at the division title and a berth to the National Collegiate Club Championship not out of reach.

Villanova University

Villanova University is looking to improve upon its Fifth Place finish at the 2014 Mid-Atlantic Division Championship hosted by West Chester University. To do so, the Wildcats will rely heavily on several players to step up and contribute offensively. Anchoring the offense at two-meters will be Josh Chatfield. Chatfield played goal last season and will still tend the nets on occasion, but should provide excellent scoring ability from the center. Aiding Chatfield will be Shane Gillespie, who will need to become a solid threat this year to balance scoring opportunities. Key outside shooting will come from George Driscoll and Kyle Graham. Driscoll led the Wildcats in scoring in many of their games last season and will need to do the same in 2015. Graham enters his senior year and is displaying much more confidence in his shooting, which will help take some of the burden off Driscoll. Rounding out the starting rotation are several drivers including co-captain Tom Brawley, who returns this season from knee surgery and is one of the fastest swimmers on the team. Matt Flores, Jeremy Rosen, Alex Paparella and co-captain Mike Killian will also factor in Villanova’s title hopes.

Missouri University of Science & Technology

West Chester University

Widener University

The newest member of the largest men’s collegiate club division in the Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA), the Pride of Widener University is back in the water for it’s second season in the league. Due to a change in the division’s scheduling to match teams based on ability rather than geography, Widener’s athletes are looking to be more competitive than last year. Returning captains Tyler Palma and Jeff Hicks, and veteran players Eddie Seyfried, Josh Levis, Andy Madore and Sean Tevis are ready to continue to help facilitate the growth of the team. New to the team are rookies Griffin Walawender, Michael Feeley, Jasmere Schleicher and Alex Hertel, and veterans Sam Smith and Julia Swartz.

The former three-time Division III National Champions (2006, 2007, 2008) are in pursuit to continue their recent run of success for another flawless season.

An eight-time Missouri Valley Division champion (2005, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2012, 2013, 2014) and the reigning Men’s National Collegiate Club Champions, the Lions of Lindenwood University

Missouri University of Science & Technology is excited for its inaugural season in the Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA). The group will be lead by seniors Matt Mecaskey, Hayden Cayse and Joe Pace, all of whom have worked diligently the past year to start the Miners’ team. A strong suit for this team will be their depth including 19 players in just their first season to rival some of the largest club teams in the country. The Miners appear primed to grow in coming years with six incoming freshman joining in to start the program off on the right foot. A well-rounded squad with a good mix of speed, shooters and defensive specialists in front of a strong goalie in the person of senior Stephen Howland.

Washington University in Saint Louis (Mo.)

The defending Division III National Collegiate Club co-Champion with the University of California-Santa Cruz, Washington University in Saint Louis returns this year looking to continue a streak of dominance matched only once in the history of small college water polo. The 2011 and 2014 Division III National Champion, the Bears fell in the 2012 and 2013 title games to Monmouth College and UC-Santa Cruz, respectively, as the team has made the past four title tilts. 2004 and 2005 Division III National Champion Wesleyan University is the only team to reach more consecutive Division III National Championship title games as the Cardinals finished as the runner-up in 2002, 2003 and 2006 for five straight finals berths. The regular season runner-up and Missouri Valley Championship Third Place finisher in 2014, Washington will work to return to the Division III National Collegiate Club Championship or earn the division’s automatic berth to the National Collegiate Club Championship at UC-Santa Cruz.

NEW ENGLAND DIVISION Boston College

A four-time (2007, 2008, 2012, 2013) division runner-up, Boston College achieved its marks last year in finishing 11-0 in the New England Division to claim the title and reach the National Collegiate Club Championship for the first time in nine years. The 2015 team looks to continue making history, despite losing nine graduated players and a significant offensive presence in the pool. This year’s team will rely heavily on speed and counter-attacks from the incoming freshmen, senior captains Bennett Cooper and Dan Kelly, as well

A seven-time division champion, with victories in 1996, 1998, 1999, 2001, 2008, 2012 and 2013, Dartmouth College aims to return to the top of the New England Division and back to the National Collegiate Club Championship. The Big Green, who finished Fourth in 2013 and Sixth in 2012 at the National Championship tournament, will once again be helmed by three-time New England Division Coach of the Year Randy Budner and assistant coach Forrest Pollard. Coming off a Third Place finish at the 2014 New England Championship after finishing as the runner-up during the regular season, the Big Green return starters Keaton Renta, Chris D’Angelo, David Rozenfeld, Eric Thorpe, Ben Wilson and Second Team All-America selection Peter Loomis. In addition, center Colin Fristoe and attacker Andrew Boules come back for another go-around and look to add depth to a young and hungry team. Following the loss of 2013 Honorable Mention All-America pick Fanis Tigkas and captain Adam Tong, the team looks towards new leaders in co-captains Chris D’Angelo and Keaton Renta to lead the team back to the division and National Collegiate Club championships. Dartmouth will need the help of some incoming talent. Key to the team’s title hopes could be Tuck Business School student Zsombor Vincze, a standout All-America selection from the University of California-Santa Barbara known as the “Hungarian Hurricane”, who is expected to provide veteran knowledge and leadership to a team hoping to appear in its seventh New England Division title game in the past eight seasons.

Middlebury College

Middlebury College hopes to build upon on last year’s strong Third place finish at the 2014 Division III National Collegiate Club Championship and continue on its trajectory of improvement. While longtime captains and spiritual leaders Blake Harper and Will Daly have graduated, the Panthers will look to a strong senior class for leadership. Captain Ben Weaver will hold up the defense while fellow captain J Whelan, returning from studying water polo in Eastern Europe, will lead the offense. Captain Brian Rowett will be improving his golf game with longtime coaches Brian Goodwin and Tom McGinn, who see promise in his short game. Meanwhile senior Jacob Epstein and junior Kevin Benscheidt continue to contribute up and down the pool, and sophomore Taylor Moore has added more than a deadly skip shot to his repertoire. The team will also rely on team social chair Ethan Strayer, team nutritionist Rob Shaw and financial engineer Bryan Cheuk. Hailing from Paris, France, Jacques Ravery will continue to add class to an otherwise crass team that finished Fifth in the New England Division last year.

University of Connecticut

The University of Connecticut is excited to play its second season in the Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA). Seniors Derek Litts, Kyle Lemere, Tom O’Hara and Evan Larosa, along with head coach Mike Hanley, will be huge assets to the team.

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. Yale enters the 2015 season with new leadership and a renewed willingness to work hard and make gains. Under the seasoned tutelage of head coach Doug Hausladen and the energetic leadership team of captains Ben Meyer, Calvin Rhodes and Tommy Shi, the Bulldogs look to rebound from a Fifth Place finish in the New England Division last year after losing just two starters to graduation. Meyer was impressive in his first season in goal and will look to continue shooters with his long wingspan and strong legs. In particular, the team looks to be heavily reliant on the two way contributions of both Rhodes and set, Micah Rosales, a dominant force when in shape and healthy. Michael Mattessich, a sophomore, will step into a bigger role on offense this year, looking to distribute the ball from the 4-5 side and get out on the counterattack. Marios Tringides, Nick Radell, Leo Sanchez-Noya, Eduardo Macias, Shi, and newcomers Robert Smith Waters, Mike Leddy, and Can Celebi should provide depth off the bench as the Bulldogs look primed and ready to compete for the New England Division title.

University of California-Merced

The reigning Division III Collegiate Club co-Champions with Washington University in Saint Louis due to a power outage brought on by a snow storm at last year’s championship hosted by Bowdoin College in Brunswick, Maine, the Banana Slugs of the University of California-Santa Cruz are coming off a Fifth Place finish in the Sierra Pacific Division a year ago. UC-Santa Cruz, which captured the 2010 and 2013 Division III Club Championships outright prior to tying with the Bears of Washington University last year, already know they will vacate their title as small college champions by not competing at the 2015 Division III tournament as the Banana Slugs will host the 2015 Men’s National Collegiate Club Championship in mid-November.

SOUTHEAST DIVISION Auburn University

Auburn is looking for a top level finish in 2015 following a Seventh Place mark in the Southeast Division a season ago. The Tigers have undergone a huge rebuilding effort through the Spring and Summer months by securing some new talent.

San Diego State University

The 2012 Southeast Division runner-up to Vanderbilt University, the Yellow Jackets of the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) finished in Third Place over the past two seasons. 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 2015. After graduating three players, the team has maintained most of its talent. New coaches Mohamed Nasr and Jerry Deboever plan to maximize the potential of a large pool of relatively experienced freshmen recruits. As over half of the Georgia Tech roster is comprised of underclassmen, the Yellow Jackets are looking to take advantage of their young bucks’ enthusiasm and stamina.

The reigning Pacific Coast Division Champion and the 2014 National Collegiate Club Championship runner-up, San Diego State University is looking at having its best year since the program’s establishment in 2007. The 2014 season saw the team win its first ever Pacific Coast Division championship and end the season ranked at No. 2 in the nation following a 13-8 loss to Lindenwood University in the National Collegiate Club Championship title game. It marked the second time in as many years the eventual National Champion concluded the Aztecs’ season as SDSU fell to 2013 champion the University of California-Los Angeles via a 10-7 final for that season’s Pacific Coast Division title. Returning Honorable Mention All-America selections Josh Heller (sophomore) and Phil Tran (junior) lead the Aztecs offense, while First Team All-America goalie Tim Huson (junior) commands the defense.

Experienced graduate students Drew Hogan, Mark Artz and Gordon Petersen each averaged over two goals per game in 2014 and are aiming for even better results in 2015. Expect Rio-bound swimmer Cynthia Roberts to contribute to the Vols success, as well, as Tennessee aims to improve on last year’s runner-up finish in the Southeast Division.

Vanderbilt University

The reigning champion following a 9-4 defeat of the University of Tennessee, two-time winner Vanderbilt University (2012, 2014) is seeking to retain possession of the peak position in the Southeast Division for another season.

University of California-Irvine

Following a two-year absence from league competition, the Anteaters of the University of California-Irvine returned to the Pacific Coast Division last season after the club’s reestablishment in 2014.

Head coach Alec Follmer brings structure and focus to UCI’s squad as they aim to climb the rankings. Leading scorers Nick Cecchi and Andrew Shutt return for their junior seasons and are joined by promising rookies Justin Virzi and Brandon Boehme.

University of California-San Diego

The Tritons of the University of California-San Diego join the rest of their former Pacific Coast Division brethren and the select few teams that departed the Rocky Mountain Division in the newly reconfigured Southwest Division. On the heels of Fifth Place finishes in the Pacific Coast Division the past two seasons, UC-San Diego will strive to make its mark in its new home with a championship run in 2015 to reach a division title game for the first time since a 2011 Pacific Coast Division berth.

The University of San Diego will compete in its second season back in the Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) following an entire year off from organized competition. San Diego has three fewer players compared to its 2014 roster, but are just as determined to have a successful season. Team President Jason Frankle replaces former President Darius Tenorio as Tenorio studies abroad during the Fall semester. The loss of Tenorio is one of the larger voids of the team, for both leadership and talent, but San Diego hopes to utilize talent in the upcoming sophomore and junior classes. The team additionally hopes a successful Fall recruiting effort will help the program gain talented new players so the Toreros can achieve a winning season.

TEXAS DIVISION Baylor University

Baylor University will look to make some noise, both this year and in the campaigns to follow, with a revitalized defense and a potent offense in a season following a Fifth Place mark in the Texas Division.

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) before not competing at the 2014 Texas Division Championship tournament. It was a tough 2014 campaign for the LSU water polo team as the teams lack of depth hindered the Tigers in their match ups with the likes of the University of Texas, Texas A&M University and the University of Houston. The 2015 season, however, seems to be filled with promise as the Tigers will attempt to combine a returning nucleus of impact players with an influx of young talent. Four-year starter and team captain Tessa Holmes returns to build off her impressive 2014 season. Also returning is the teams top goal threat and Annapolis, Maryland native James “Ridge” Porter. Porter’s lighting quick release and superior ball skills make him one of the team’s top contributors. Other key players are junior Eric Mog and goalkeeper Evan Jarrell who brings experience between the pipes to the young Tigers. Louisiana State looks to bounce back and finish among the top programs in the Texas Division.

Rice University

After finishing in Sixth Place during the Texas Division regular season in 2014, Rice University will rely on new talent and experienced veterans to compete against the best-of the-best in the Lone Star State. Thanks to a deeper pool of talent and more experience, the Owls of Rice are poised to move up the standings to contend for a spot among the Texas Division’s elite.

Texas A&M University

Texas State University

On the heels of runner-up (2014) and Third Place (2013) finishes in the Texas Division the past two seasons, the Bobcats of Texas State University will once strive to break into the upper echelon of the eight-time Texas Division.

Texas Tech University

Texas Tech University, which finished Fourth in the Texas Division last year, will work to reclaim the division championship for the first time since 2011.

University of Houston

Following consecutive Texas Division Championship title game defeats at the hands of the University of Texas, the Cougars of the University of Houston slipped to Fifth Place in the Texas Division regular season in 2014. Houston returns for another crack at winning the division, advancing to the National Collegiate Club Championship and continuing a recent trend of success following Third (2011) and Second (2012, 2013) place finishes in the final Texas Division standings.

University of Texas

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, 2010) before falling out of title contention. The team, which has been in a rebuilding mode over the past few campaigns, will boast a revitalized roster with multiple new faces joining the program. The Aggies finished in Third Place last year, but will need to supplant back-to-back-to-back and nine-time Texas Division Champion the University of Texas (2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2009, 2010, 2012, 2013, 2014) in order to once against advance to the National Collegiate Club Championship.

The 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2009. 2010, 2012, 2013 and 2014 Texas Division champions, the Longhorns of the University of Texas begin the 2015 season aiming to continue a trend of advancing to the division title game every year since the formation of the grouping in 2001. After a Sixth 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.
