2016 Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Guide

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. 2016 Women’s Guide Table of Contents About the CWPA..................................................................Pages 2-3 CWPA Timeline.........................................................................

WATER POLO

Fouls

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

Affiliate Organizations

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

History of the CWPA

The Collegiate Water Polo Association originally began as the Mid Atlantic Conference, founded by Dick Russell in the 1970â&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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.

Division I & II Varsity Class

Teams play a single round robin format, with everyone attending the championship. The first place team at the CWPA Championship qualifies for the play-in game for the NCAA National Championship.

Division III Varsity Class

Teams play a double round robin format with all teams attending the championship. The team that wins the Division III Championship moves on to the CWPA Championship.

Sport Club Class

Teams are divided into 15-divisions based on geography. The top team from each division championship and the host institution qualifies for the 16-team National Collegiate Club Championship.

Atlantic Division

Teams play a triple round robin format during the regular season with all teams attending the championship. Championship seeding is based on the regular season won/loss records.

Big Ten Division

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

Heartland Division

Teams play four games within their region, followed by a crossover event where they compete in four games against the opposite region. All teams attend the championship tournament, with seeding based on the regular season won/ loss records.

Mid-Atlantic Division

Midwest Division

Teams play four opponents drawn at random during one regional weekend. All teams attend the championship tournament, with seeding based on the regular season won/loss records.

New England Division

New York 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.

North Atlantic Division

Texas Division

Tie Breaker System - All Situations

If two teams are tied using the tie breaker system below and they have played each other, the head-to-head competition is used to determine ranking. Note, in the event that a team forfeited a game during the season, that team is eliminated from tie-breaker consideration and is seeded at the lowest position among the tied teams.

Tie Breaker System - Two Teams

If the won/loss records of two teams are the same, the team that won in their head-to-head competition is the higher seed. If these 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.

Northwest Division

Pacific Coast 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.

Rocky Mountain Division

Teams play a triple round robin format during the regular season with all teams attending the championship. Championship seeding is based on the regular season won/loss records.

Sierra Pacific 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.

Southeast Division

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

If more than two teams are tied in won/loss records, goal differentials among the teams tied serves as the tiebreaker to determine the best team within the group until only two teams remain. The final two teams use their head-to-head results to break the tie. If the top two teams based on goal differentials are tied, the tie is broken with the results of their head-tohead competition. If the goal differential among all teams tied 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.

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

Tie Breaker System - Three or More Teams (for advancement w/in championships)

Southwest Division

Goal Differential

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.

If all tiebreakers remain equal, their original seeding will serve as the tiebreaker. 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 DIVISION I & II Brown University

Brown University will look to build off its Fifth Place finish at last year’s Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) Championship as the Bears have now finished Fifth at the league tournament in each of the past three seasons. The team will aim for its sixth 20-win season under ninth-year head coach Felix Mercado after the Bears went 20-17 in 2015, coming in above .500 for the sixth time in his tenure. Brown returns a pair of Association of Collegiate Water Polo Coaches (ACWPC) Honorable Mention All-America selections in junior Shannon Crowley and sophomore goalkeeper Marisol Dakan. Crowley, a 2015 First Team All-CWPA recipient, led Brown in goals (78), assists (53), steals (85), and field blocks (24) a season ago. Dakan, a Second Team All-CWPA choice as a rookie, set Brown’s single-season saves record with 403 stops in 2015. The Bears’ returning core also includes senior Olivia Santiago (39 goals, 87 ejections drawn in 2015), junior Marisa Kolokotronis (53 goals, 58 steals in 2015) and sophomore Jessica Heilman (33 goals, 56 steals in 2015). Brown graduated five seniors last season, including Liz Rosen and Rebecca Zak, but the program will add seven freshmen and a sophomore transfer into the mix for the 2016 season. The team also welcomes a new assistant coach in Allison Kosich.

TEAM PROFILES

the attack position. Coming out of Foothill High School in Santa Ana, Calif., Konishi was a Third Team All-America in 2014 and a member of the 2013 U.S. Women’s National Cadet Team. From Piedmont, Calif., Sarah Mooney is going to be seeing playing time as a defender at center. Mooney’s toughness in that role will be necessary to help her succeed off the bench. Also, Eliza Romeyn, Chelsea Scuderi and Regina Younger will all be valuable role players on attack. There is plenty of depth on this year’s squad, something the program has not had in a few years. It helps create competition between the players and motivation throughout the season, and McBride is excited by the opportunities it will bring his team. In addition to Sunday, Marrs and Konishi in the starting lineup, sophomore Kendyl Johnson and junior Tegan Stanbach will return as starters. Having more experience is an added plus for McBride, as Stanbach and Johnson tallied 16 goals each in 55 combined starts last season. Likely to fill the final starting spot is Colleen Barron, who played 28 games off the bench as a freshman last year. McBride has seen the improvement Barron has made over the course of a year.

Bucknell University

Bucknell University has improved its overall record each season since 2013, and the squad will be looking to do the same again this year. After finishing 14-14 overall and 3-6 in the Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) last season, the Bison will need to maintain focus to excel in what will be a competitive 2016 campaign. Bucknell had three 40-goal scorers a season ago, two of whom are returning to the team. The team won seven of its final 11 games, giving it momentum heading into 2016 as well. This year, with five returning starters, the opportunity to make a jump in the CWPA is there, and it all starts with the expertise of this year’s captains. Seniors Hannah Sunday and Eleanor Marrs were selected captains after both players gave excellent performances in 2015. Sunday was named to the CWPA All-Conference First Team for the second consecutive season while playing center, and Marrs led the team with 80 points on 48 goals and 32 assists on attack. The duo have shown leadership skills both in and out of the pool that will help push this team throughout the season, and head coach John McBride has high hopes for them. The philosophy of McBride, who is in his fifth season with Bucknell, starts with the senior class and flows to the rest of the team. The seniors are the first class that McBride has recruited and coached for each of their four years, and the effects of his tutelage are coming to the forefront. The other two seniors on this team, Katherine DeRuff and Martine McCarthy, will both see considerable playing time. These two seniors combined to play in 48 games last year en route to 25 points, and both will look to improve upon those numbers this year. Although McBride has gotten accustomed to the older members of this team, overall it is a young group, with 12 of the 19 players being freshmen or sophomores. That doesn’t worry McBride at all as he is confident that this freshman class is going to contribute to the team right away. Among that freshman class is Emily Konishi, who is expected to start at

Her speed and presence on the counter-attack will open her up for many goal-scoring opportunities. Some other key players that will be coming off the bench include sophomore Marta Considine, who will have plenty of offensive opportunities on the outside, sophomore Shyla Lintz, who will backup Sunday at the center position, and junior Julia Ulrich and sophomore Gigi Joudrie, who played in eight and 27 games last season, respectively. It is a competitive atmosphere on the team, which opens up the opportunity for any member to play a prominent role. Goalies Haley Derrod and Manuela Herrera will both see playing time throughout the season after splitting time a year ago. Derrod made 93 saves in 15 starts with a .445 save percentage, while Herrera posted 93 saves in 13 starts and 488 minutes. McBride knows what the strengths are of this squad, and he hopes to exploit those strengths from start to finish. It will be a competitive campaign, and the players will need to stay consistent to improve upon last year. Still, McBride is confident in the outlook for this year’s team despite strong competition, and every member of the team looks to be ready to take the next step.

George Washington University

George Washington University returns 13 letterwinners from the 2015 squad, which finished 14-17 overall and placed eighth at the Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) Championship. Led by second-year head coach Adam Foley, the Colonials will rely on senior Addy Colona and freshman Katherine Moeller between the pipes, while graduate student Mikaela Pyrch and senior Hannah Cox provide leadership in the field. Juniors Allyson Bakos and Brennan Marczewski along wth sophomore Maddie Goodell, Erin McGeoy, Jacqueline Bywater, Scarlett Hallahan and Megan Belliveau solidify GW’s offensive and defensive lines. Freshmen Kelsey Oliver, Ellie Reid and Anya Welch should bolster the Colonials as the team seeks its first league championship title.

Hartwick College

A season after piloting the Hawks of Hartwick College to victories in 12 of the program’s final 16 games of the 2015 season to end up with a 20-19 overall record, head coach Alan Huckins returns for his 13th season at the helm. The finish marked Hartwick’s 14th straight 20-win season in the 15-years of the program as the six-time (2002, 2004, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009) Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) Championship title game participant will aim to return the title tilt. Senior goalie Michaela Davies and driver Britt Tait both return to lead Hartwick’s quest for its first CWPA Championship and National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Championship berth since 2007. Junior Zsofia Polak and Kristy Walker join sophomores Lauren Brennan, Natalie May, Katie McKenty, Nikolina Mihaljovik, Charlotte Cottle and Nikki Brown in comrising a potent offensive attack for Hartwick which finished in Third Place at last year’s CWPA Championship tournament hosted by Princeton University. Freshmen Maria Moya, Sarah Lewis and L.J. Edwards are three newcomers to watch for the Hawks in 2016. In cage, sophomore Josette Santos and freshman Sabrina Hartwell strengthen the Hawks’ defense in conjunction with Davies.

Harvard University

Harvard University is coming off one of its most memorable seasons in recent history, posting a 20-13 record, including a 6-3 mark in Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) play with a Sixth Place finish at the CWPA Championship. The 20-win season marked the first time since 2000 the Crimson reached the 20-win mark and was just the third time in program history. For the performance, The Friends of Water Polo Head Coach Ted Minnis was named the CWPA

Division I/II Coach of the Year, the first such honor obtained by a Harvard women’s water polo coach. Minnis also broke the career-wins mark with 87 victories in just five seasons. The Crimson will aim to bolster Minnis’ career win total and reach the league title game for the first time since falling to Slippery Rock Universiy in 1995.

Indiana University

The Hoosiers of Indiana University are building from a successful 2015 season, finishing with a No. 11 national ranking, a runner-up finish at the Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) Championship to league champion Princeton University and amidst a threeway tie at the top of the CWPA during the regular season. This year, head coach Barry King and the Hoosiers look to extend their success, with their sights set on the CWPA Championship and a return to the National Collegiate Athletic Associatoin (NCAA) Championship hosted by the Universty of California-Los Angeles. While the Hoosiers lost six valuable seniors to graduation over the summer, they return a group filled with talent across all classes and position groups. Indiana’s most experienced position group in 2016 is the goalkeeping tandem of Mary Campbell and MacKenzie Bonk. As seniors, Campbell and Bonk will serve as role models to a young Hoosier squad, and the team will lean on their leadership in the cage. Campbell made a remarkable jump in her role on the team from her sophomore season in 2014 (two starts in eight appearances) to her junior year in 2015 (31 starts in 32 appearances). She made 262 saves last season (5th-IU history) as Indiana’s leading goalkeeper, and her level of play grew as the Hoosiers moved through the season. By the end of the year, Campbell was one of the top goalkeepers in the conference. Her season culminated in an outstanding showing at the 2015 CWPA Tournament. She averaged just 4.5 goals allowed per game on her way to Second Team All-CWPA Tournament honors. The Hoosiers are known for their speed in transition and on the counter-attack, which makes the goalkeeper position a vital part of Indiana’s offense as well. King sees his goalkeepers as his last defender, but also his first attacker, and Bonk and Campbell will continue to play an integral role in initializing their fast-break offense. Bonk played a valuable role in her first season with the Hoosiers, transferring from Golden West College (Calif.) after her sophomore

season. She made four starts in 15 appearances with 92 saves, three assists, and eight steals while donning the 1A cap. While not the projected starter, Bonk’s role isn’t diminished on this team. The two goalkeepers push each other competitively each day in practice, and it shows on game day. On defense, the Hoosier’ unit plans to make waves in 2016 as sophomore Kelly Matthews returns after a record-setting freshman year in 2015, and redshirt freshman Karrie Kozokar will take the pool in competitive play for the first time as a Hoosier. Matthews was one of the greatest secrets in collegiate water polo last season. Opposing teams focused their defensive efforts on members of Indiana’s senior class, dynamic playmakers like Colleen McNaught, Rebecca Gerrity, and Shelby Taylor. Because of this, Matthews found a lot of scoring opportunities in her freshman year, and she did well to convert them. Matthews led the Hoosiers with 73 goals last season, the sixth-highest single-season total in IU history and an Indiana record for freshmen. She received numerous honors from the CWPA, including the 2015 Rookie of the Year award at the end of the season. The Roxboro, Quebec native will face additional pressure from opposing defenses in 2016, which will bring a change to her role in the pool. The Hoosiers aren’t concerned that Matthews will hit a lull with the added pressure in the coming season. The sophomore gained valuable experience in the offseason with the Canadian Junior National Team, which finished in fourth-place at the World University Games. Furthermore, much of the success Matthews finds in the pool doesn’t stem from her offensive impact; rather, it’s what she does on defense that makes her such a force for the Hoosiers. Kozokar will make her collegiate debut for the Hoosiers this season after redshirting the 2015 season. Having fully recovered from Tommy John surgery, Kozokar is anxious to contribute to the Hoosiers’ success on both ends of the pool. After showing a solid work ethic in offseason and preseason training, she is back to full strength. Now, it’s a matter of transitioning from her playing days at Mundelein High School to the highly competitive college game. The Hoosiers are loaded with talent at the center position, beginning with standout senior Candyce Schroeder. She joins junior Bronwyn Smith, sophomore Jennifer Beadle and freshman Kaybree Albright as Indiana hopes to control the two-meter area on both ends of the pool. Like her sophomore teammate, Kelly Matthews, Schroeder found a lot of her success last year from open chances created by the dynamic Indiana offense. Opponents gravitated toward 2015 seniors like Rebecca Gerrity and Colleen McNaught, leaving Schroeder in opportunistic scoring situations. This season, she’ll be the primary focus of every opposing defense. They know that Schroeder is capable of dominating in the middle, and they’ll do everything they can to shut her out of the attack. King is confident in Schroeder’s ability to tailor her game with respect to her defensive pressure. She may not find immediate success in isolation moves, but the added attention will open chances for her teammates. Schroeder is Indiana’s leading returning scorer, tallying 108 goals and 52 assists over her three seasons. She may not jump out to the same start she had last season, in which she netted 56 goals, but the chances will come when opponents notice that the Hoosiers have offensive talent all over the pool. Junior Bronwyn Smith enters the season after a five-goal, six-assist sophomore year. Now, with two years of experience under her belt, Smith will put into practice the valuable knowledge she gained from watching those before her at the position. After a solid freshman year as a utility player in 2015, Jennifer Beadle will make the transition to the center position this season. Physically and athletically, she has what it takes to control the middle of opposing defenses. In this transition, however, the sophomore will need to respond to the position’s demands on both ends of the pool. Kaybree Albright comes to Bloomington with a promising track record. In her senior season at Corona Del Mar

High School, Albright slotted 48 goals with 16 assists and 24 steals, and helped the Sea Kings to a third-place finish in the CIF-SS Division-I playoffs. She was also an outstanding swimmer in her prep career, a four-time All-League honoree and an All-American qualifier in the 400m freestyle. Albright also played at the club level for nationally renowned Saddleback-El Toro water polo club. The club, helmed by water polo extraordinaire Bradley Schumacher, has a knack for developing the center position. The majority of the youth on Indiana’s 2016 squad lies in their attack position, but this group shows signs of a promising season. Led by Canadian junior international Sarah Myers, this Hoosier attack will provide valuable support to IU’s centers on the offensive end. Myers joined Hoosiers’ defender Kelly Matthews in representing Canada at the 2015 World University Games this past summer. Myers tallied one goal, five assists, and four steals during Canada’s run to the silver medal. Expect Myers to be one of Candyce Schroeder’s main targets this spring, as the senior center will look to work the attack through the two-meter line. Myers had a solid 22-goal, 26-assist, 39-steal freshman year with her production expected to increase this season. Freshman Kate Pipkin is another likely starter in King’s first seven this year. Pipkin hails from Newport Beach, like her freshman teammate Kaybree Albright, where she played for water polo great Bill Barnett. Like any incoming freshman, Pipkin will have to gain a sense of playing at the college level. Once she does that, she’ll help lay the groundwork for an attack that could play together for the next three seasons. Sophomore Sarah Young will make the transition to attack this season. She’ll move from the center of the attack to the perimeter, and her success will come as she familiarizes herself with the shift in responsibility. The advantage of a player like Young is her ability to bolster the central defense. With her length, the Hoosiers will have multiple options in their two-meter defense, as she can slide into that position with a sense of familiarity. For junior Jordan Elwood, sophomore Emily Lowe, and freshman Mackenzie Rosenthal, the Hoosiers are in need of another player to step into a bigger role this season. After this offseason, they have an understanding of King’s philosophy and will look to apply it in their supporting roles as three-time (2003, 2011, 2014) CWPA Champion Indiana hopes to reach the league title game for the third consecutive season.

Princeton University

Coming off three National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Championship appearances and four league title game appearances in the past four seasons, four-time league champion (2000, 2012, 2013, 2015) Princeton University and head coach Luis Nicolao are excited for another crack at the National Championship in 2016. Nicolao, who enters his 18th season as head coach of the program, is coming off a 31-5 season and the fourth CWPA championship in his tenure. But major losses - most due to graduation, and one for the Olympics - have left questions about what Princeton will look like this season. And that, more than anything else, is what has energized a man who will likely hit the 800-win mark overall at Princeton sometime in 2016. “I am excited about this year,” said Nicolao. “I think teams won’t expect a lot from us because of who isn’t here, but we have a good core coming back, and some good freshmen who have already added to it.” Fans can forgive the pessimists who see the losses of offensive standouts Ashley Hatcher (86 goals last season) and Jessie Holechuk (50 goals), as well as top defenders like Camille Hooks (29 steals), Taylor Dunstan (28 steals) and Ashleigh Johnson (.709 save percentage in goal) and wonder how this team will make up those numbers. Nicolao understands, but he has seen the growth of the program since the start of the fall. The chemistry began to develop earlier than normal thanks to the addition of a full-time women’s assistant in Becca Dorst, a former

All-America standout at the University of California-Los Angeles (UCLA). Co-captains Pippa Temple and Morgan Hallock will be looked upon as key players in the water. However, Nicolao believes that this needs to be a sum-of-the-parts team; where there were obvious standouts on both ends of the pool last year, the 2016 team will only succeed through teamwork and balance. That doesn’t mean there isn’t plenty of talent in Orange and Black. Temple, Hallock and Haley Wan each scored at least 30 goals last season. Chelsea Johnson, Emily Smith, Hannah Lapkin, Sydney Saxe, and Sydney Cheong each played around 30 games last season and impacted a team that would ultimately win two games at the NCAA Championships. Sophomore Helena Van Brande will take over in goal while Ashleigh Johnson trains with the United States Olympic Team as the 2015 CWPA Division I/II Player of the Year has eyes on joining former University of Michigan goalie/CWPA Hall of Fame inductee Betsey Armstrong in anchoring Team USA to a Gold Medal at the Olympic Games. It would seem like an unenviable position - replacing WaterPoloWorld.com Female Water Polo Player of the Year - but Nicolao has faith in Van Brande. “She is a quick, athletic, explosive goalie,” he said of Van Brande, who went 9-0 and played more than 400 minutes last season. All four of the Tigers’ freshmen should see time, though both Margarita Orlova and Charlotte Valentine were slowed by preseason injuries. Eliza Britt was an All-CIF performer at Corona del Mar and could be an elite offensive player, while Lindsey Kelleher - another All-CIF honoree - is a left-handed utility player.

University of Michigan

Head coach Dr. Marcelo Leonardi enters his second season in charge of the University of Michigan water polo. The team returns the bulk of its offense from last year’s 19-13 squad which finished in Fourth Place at the Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) Championship, including senior Ali Thomason and sophomore Caroline Anderson. Thomason led the team last year with 58 goals and has 115 in her career. Anderson set a freshman record at Michigan with 56 assists last year. Add in a talented freshman class and junior transfer Danielle Johnson, and this team has a very optimistic look at the 2016 season.

DIVISION III Carthage College

Carthage College finished third at the Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) Division III Championship in 2015, and finished the season with an overall record of 11-6 and 9-5 in conference play. The 2016 season will experience another new development with the induction of head coach Laura Coffman. Coffman, who has held various coaching positions throughout the United States, comes to the program following the retirement of Andy Bax. “The ground work has been laid over the previous seasons to be successful and be contenders for the championship. To be champions we will need to work hard as the season begins and we will no doubt have some close games,” said Coffman. With the graduation of six seniors, four freshmen enter the 2016 lineup. Three of the four freshmen hail from Illinois maintaining a Chicago connection: Malea Fischer, Jessi Graziano and Jocelyne Sanchez. The fourth freshman, Jane Eckles, comes to Carthage from Merced, California, and is the sole player from outside of Illinois on the 2016 roster. The four have garnered recognition from their respective schools and states during their high school careers. Among the 2016 team, the Lady Reds will have 2015 All-America Honorable Mention selection and CWPA Division III All-Tournament Selection Allie Boothe and

2014 All-America Honorable Mention Brittany Wallace. Boothe finished her rookie season with a team-leading 30 steals, while Wallace lead the Lady Reds with 41 goals in 2015. Another playmaker on the roster is Carly Strass, who set a Carthage record of seven assists in a single game against Utica College. In addition to Boothe, Strass and Wallace, Coffman looks forward to the return of top scorers Colleen Koepke and Amanda Boothe. Koepke scored 20 goals, while Boothe finished with double digits in goals, assists, steals and field blocks. With the graduation of Carthage two-time Most Valuable Player Ashley McGhee, Anna Shirer, will step into the role of starting goalkeeper. In 2015, Shirer collected a career-best 63 saves in addition to five assists and seven steals. No matter the amount of changes, the goal remains the same for Team 16: becoming a water polo powerhouse in the Midwest and the CWPA.

Connecticut College

The 2012, 2013 and 2014 Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) Division III Champion, Connecticut College will experience a significant rebuild in 2016 following the loss of 2015 All-America selections Nicky Jasbon, Kate Jacobson and Isabelle Baneux to graduation. One All-America pick returns for the Camels as senior Kelsey Millward and fellow fourth-year Abbey Wrobleski will lead the team in the field. 2015 Association of Collegiate Water Polo Coaches (CWPA) Division III Coach of the Year Matt Anderson will have his work cut out for him in his second year in New London, Conn., as intercollegiate experience will be in short supply for a team featuring five freshmen and five sophomores on a 15-player roster.

Grove City College

The Grove City College women’s water polo team enters its 17th season of intercollegiate play this spring with its sights set on a return to the top of the Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) Division III conference. Grove City won the conference title each season from 2010 to 2012 and reached the conference finals in 2013. Second-year head coach Alyssa Hunt welcomes back four of the Wolverines’ top five scorers from last year, along with a two-year starter in goal. Senior co-captains Ashley Henderson and Ashley Parks are expected to help lead Grove City this season after having been integral parts of the Wolverines’ success over the past three seasons. Henderson ranked second on the team with 31 assists last year while also registered 17 goals. She added 37 steals on the defensive end and will be counted on at both ends of the pool. An offensive threat throughout her first three seasons, Parks pumped in 32 goals in 2015 and now has 107 scores in her career. Parks will again be one of the Wolverines’ top weapons in 2016. Junior Abby Jank earned All-CWPA recognition as a freshman and finished 2015 in strong fashion after missing five early season matches. Jank registered 20 goals and 20 assists last year while also ranking second on the team with 47 steals. Jank is also one of the conference’s top sprinters and will be a major factor on both offense and defense this year. Sophomore Maggie Blume made an immediate contribution to Grove City’s fortunes in 2015 by scoring 19 goals and adding 11 assists. Blume moved into the starting lineup at the start of her rookie campaign and provides a skilled two-way threat for the Wolverines. In goal, junior Mary Frank returns after making 40 starts in goal over the last two seasons. Frank ranks among Grove City’s all-time statistical leaders in several categories. Junior Grace Klimek is a returning letterwinner who appeared in 17 matches last year. Klimek will push for a spot in the starting lineup, as will second-year performers Brynna Bartlett and Carolyn Ebel. A number of newcomers could also challenge for starting spots this season as freshmen Abby Spicher, Megan Crutcher, Heidi Schmidt, Jillian Breckenridge, Rachel Blasdell and Sonni Kiefer join the Wolverines

Macalester College

A program on the rise in the Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) and the national Division III ranks, the Scots of Macalester College will have a new coach but the same expectations in 2016 after an 11-14 season in 2015. In the wake of Fourth and Fifth Place finishes at the CWPA Division III Championship in 2014 and 2015, respectively, the Scots will now be led by head coach Scott Reed. Reed, who takes over at Macalester following a 15-year tenure at George Washington University, will need to find some offensive and defensive stars after the loss of 2015 All-America selections Sarah Shoemaker and goalie Anya Phillips. Experience will be in short supply for the team as seniors Emma Swanson and Emma Harte join junior Liz Kelleher as the only players with more than one year of collegiate experience. Sophomore Emma Toomer is expected to replace Phillips between the pipes, while classmates Brooke Finney, Kaia Lund and Hannah Gray should help Swanson, Harte and Kelleher in the field. Freshmen Yamila Blake-Lazu, Olivia Borgmann, Natalie Hoffman, Lucille Moran, Evelyn Newman and Courtney Overland join Macalester as the future of the Scots’ program.

Monmouth College

The Fighting Scots of Monmouth College enter their third season as a varsity program with youth a key aspect of the program. From top to bottom, fresh blood will be the keystone of the Scots as new head coach Peter Ollis comes to Illinois following a tenure at Utica College. Entering the season, nine sophomores and senior Kylee Winiecki comprise a 10-player roster that Ollis’ hopes can improve on last year’s Eighth Place finish at the league’s Division III Championship tournament.

Penn State Erie, The Behrend College

Penn State Behrend will look to improve upon last season following a Seventh Place finish at the 2015 Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) Division III Championship. Senior Mary Therese

Causgrove joins classmate Lauren Rosato in leading head coach Joe Tristan’s program. Goalie/junior Kara Stegmann joins classmates Brittany Pinter and Allie Schneider in providing experience to the Behrend Lions, while sophomores Taylor Reed, Kaitlyn Conely, Maryn Horn and Raynie Modecki add offensive firepower. Freshmen Clare Jefferys, Lauren Wood and Sorya Nasir are also expected to be impactful players for the squad as the team aims to contend for the Division III title.

Utica College

Looking to build off of last season’s Sixth Place finish at the Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) Division III Championship, Utica College enters the 2016 season with high expectations. This year’s team will rely on sophomores Liz Schonhiuff and Krystiana Rehrig along with freshmen Hnyla Sloan and Michalyn Winkler.

Washington & Jefferson College

Following a 2015 season in which the Presidents tied the 2014 squad for the most single year victories with a 17-9 mark, Washington & Jefferson College has set its focus on claiming the Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) Division III Championship after finishing as the runner-up in four of the past five seasons. Interim head coach Nikola Malezanov will have a plethora of offensive and defensive talent from which to build a contender in 2016. A trio of 2015 Division III All-America selections return for W&J as junior Laura Travers led the way with a Second Team nod and juniors Sarah Latzo and Brittany Patterson were selected Honorable Mention. Travers becomes just the second W&J women’s water polo student-athlete in program history to gain Second Team honors, joining Deidre Sandrock who was a Second Team selection in 2005. In her sophomore campaign, Travers tied for third on the team with 36 goals while ranking second with 102 shots. The two-time All-CWPA honoree dished out a team-leading 31 assists and also led the way with 52 steals. Boldt tied with Travers at 36 goals on 83 shots (fourth on the team). Her 26 helpers were fourth on the team, while her 47 steals tied for second. Patterson and Latzo tied atop the Presidents’ scoring list with 45 goals apiece, with Latzo taking a team-leading 107 shots and Patterson registering 89. Patterson finished third on the team with 29 assists for a team-best 74 points, while also tying for second at 47 steals. Latzo chipped in 20 assists and 32 steals in 26 games. 2014 All-America center Rachel Clauss, the 2013 CWPA Division III Rookie of the Year, will aim to return to form after putting up 23 goals, 17 assists and a team-high 44 ejections drawn last season. Juniors Madison Nervig (16 goals-22 assists-36 steals-11 ejections drawn), Tess O’Neill (nine goals-30 assists-40 steals-seven ejections drawn) and Sarah Latzo (45 goals-20 assists-32 steals-10 ejections drawn) add some additional offense to the potent Presidents’ attack, with sophomores Alexandra Gartner (20 goals-eight assists-14 steals-five ejections drawn), Macel Reising (two goals-five assists) and Liz Klock (14 goals-12 assists-35 steals-one ejection drawn) making Washington & Jefferson capable of besting most of the league’s best defenses. Freshman Kirsten Yatsko and sophomore Aliya Abdelhak are also expected to contribute in the field. In cage, goalie Ally Hopkins will be the last line of defense and likely the cornerstone upon which the Presidents will build their title hopes. Last season, she put up 125 saves with a 7.81 goals-against-average in 496 minutes over 21 games.

Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University

Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University has retained many of its starters, including Claire Hybl, Hayley Perry and Nikita Raley. However, the loss of Jane Gates and Michelle Murgia will be difficult due to their strength and ability to score. The team has been able to build up its numbers and add strong players such as Anna Murgia. The addition of this new talent will help Virginia Tech be competitive in 2016.

BIG TEN DIVISION Indiana University

Indiana University enters the season aiming to capture the program’s first Big Ten Division title. Following a Third (2015), Fifth (2014) and Sixth (2013) place finishes over the past several seasons, the Hoosiers look forward to battling the rest of the division to earn a spot in the National Collegiate Club Championship field.

Michigan State University

The three-time National Collegiate Club Champion (2001, 2002, 2006) Spartans of Michigan State University is coming off a runner-

up finish in the Big Ten Division last season. MSU will once again gun for a trip to the National Collegiate Club Championship tournament with the penultimate target of claiming the division’s first National Championship and third title game appearance since 2006.

Purdue University

The outlook for Purdue University is promising with eighth returning seniors and nine promising freshmen. The Boilermakers will continue to build their team dynamic under a new coaching staff. Coming off a Seventh Place finish in the Big Ten Division last year, the team made great progress in the off-season this year.

The Ohio State University

The Ohio State University is excited to start the 2016 season. Even though the Buckeyes graduated over half of their team, they are looking as fresh as ever. Ohio State has built a solid program that finished in Sixth Place at the 2015 Big Ten Division Championship. The Buckeyes plan to attend as many tournaments as possible, continue building their strengths and skills, and move up in the rankings in 2016. The return of senior All-Conference First Team player Tammy Katz bolsters the Buckeyes starting line-up of juniors Brittney Coblentz and Katie Caldwell; sophomores Megan Wolf and Maddie Franzoni; and graduate students Laura Siedel and Audry Klossner. After the devastating loss of senior goalie Katie Johanni, the team grew closer with a common goal in mind - experience a rewarding Big Ten Division season in loving honor of Johanni.

University of Illinois

After three consecutive years of finishing in second place at the Big Ten Division Championship, the University of Illinois slipped to Third (2014) and Fourth (2015) Place in the division over the past two seasons. However, the Fighting Illini are back to claim the program’s first division championship and berth to the National Collegiate Club Championship. The Fighting Illini are bursting with optimism. The team is a mix of devastating attackers and stalwart defenders that even the most accomplished squads will find to be nearly impossible to defeat. Coached by Donovan Russell, the team is inspired to reach even greater heights than they have in years past. Seniors Michelle Mayer, Jessie Lietz and Leah Malsom are the unquestioned leaders of the team. Bridgette Walsh won the Elizabeth Burke Memorial Award last season, signifying that she is the player whose skill and sportsmanship her teammates most admire. The Illini offensive attack is a flurry of quick passes and hard shots. The counter-attack is artisanally crafted, with each pass and movement part of a delicate orchestra that results in a beautiful shot on goal. Primary scorer Kelly Ann Meckert emulates a Venus fly trap in the way she engulfs every opponent that registers on her periphery before putting the ball right past their goalie. We expect a lot out of fellow key returning players Maddi Steiner, Kat Dabrowski, Kim Bello, Yocelin Bello and Shea Smith in the next few months and hope that our starting freshmen Nydia Garza and Megan Murtagh can rise to the challenge as well. The defense, or “Orange Curtain” as it has come to be known, led by goalie Lisa Michelowski, is suffocating; with every pass by the opposing team fiercely contested and every inch of water covered by swarming defenders. Veteran defenders Katie Nelson and Libby Burkman provide a back line with Laura Foss, Mary Schiavone and Erin Prohammer.

University of Iowa

The Lady Hawkeyes of the University of Iowa have high hopes for the 2016 season. Following a Fourth Place finish in the Big Ten Division a season ago, Iowa is poised to make its mark and continue a steady progression to the top of the division and National Collegiate Club Championship standings.

University of Michigan

After finishing among the Top Four teams in the nation since 2010 with an active streak of seven consecutive Big Ten Division titles, the University of Michigan hopes to return to the National Collegiate Club Championship for another shot at claiming the program’s elusive and first National Championhip crown. Last year, the Wolverines took Third Place at the National Collegiate Club Championship hosted by Middlebury College following a loss to eventual National Champion the University of California-Berkeley and a satisfying win against San Diego State University in a rematch of the 2014 title game. The 2016 team will certainly miss some of the all-stars from last year. The team has lost the scoring power of whole set Ellis O’Connor, the smart play of former captain Andrea Dantus and the talent of the other players who are not returning for the Wolverines’ potential championship drive. However, Michigan will make up for these departures with the depth of talent that remains. 2015 Big Ten Division Fist Team goalie Nikki Baron returns to defend the cage, while high-scoring 2015 Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) All-America honorable mention selection Julia Riemersma will provide the spark on offense. This combined with the brilliant leadership and supreme polo prowess of new team captains Hannah Cole and Anne Spence make the Wolverines a favorite to become the first Big Ten Division team to take home the National Collegiate Club Championship plaque since Michigan State University last claimed as the small, tight-knit squad prepares to work hard to continue the past legacy of the 2002, 2006 and 2009 Heartland Division Chamthe prize in 2006. pions.

After finishing in Seventh (2012, 2014) and Eighth (2013, 2015) Place at the Big Ten Division tournament over the past four seasons, the University of Wisconsin hopes to improve its record and finish among the Top Five teams. Expecting a rebuilding year of epic proportions, the Badgers have only one senior, one junior and a plethora of sophomores and freshmen on the roster as the young team hopes to find its footing within the Big Ten Division. Goalie/ sophomore Rachel Privett should continue her domination in the goal, while classmate Emily Douglas will play at set to make the Badgers’ offense run effectively and fiercely. A number of incoming freshmen with years of excellence in their high school water polo careers will join Wisconsin as the Badgers plan to make a big splash during the 2016 season.

HEARTLAND DIVISION

Junior captain Beth Tsuha is expected to bring strong speed and offensive performance in her third season with the team. Senior and returning starter Meagan McKinstry will also add to the offensive lineup in the outside shooting position.

Although the team lost several players to graduation, the new talent of the freshmen might be able to make up for the departures. A four-time Mid-Atlantic Division champion (2001, 2005, 2011, 2015) and six-time division finalist (2005, 2010, 2011, 2013, 2014, 2015), Penn State is primed to add another championship plaque to its collection.

University of Pennsylvania

On the heels of Third (2013) and Fourth (2014, 2015) place finishes in the Mid-Atlantic Division, the six-time (2004, 2006-2010) division champion Quakers of the University of Pennsylvania are hungry for another shot at the National Collegiate Club Championship. Focusing on consistent conditioning and building a strong sense of community, Penn will rely heavily on returning players Renee Chin Lee and goalie Nya Wilkins to put the Quakers back on top. Seniors Allyson Zucker, Aida Escobar and Luisa Patino will see substantial playing time in the Spring as Pennsylvania strives to punch its ticket to the National Champioship slated for the University of California-Santa Cruz.

After graduating many key players, the team hopes to surpass its previous mark with a slew of new players.

However, key injuries and “Murphy’s Law” took over as the Lions were defeated by division powerhouse and National Collegiate Club Championship runner-up the Universty of Notre Dame in the final game. The Lions finished the season with a 16 -4 record, but the 2015 edition of the Lions has ambitions of continuing its run of success to shatter the Fighting Irish’s record eight-year dominance of the division. In the program’s two prior trips to the National Collegiate Club Championship, Lindenwood has finished Fifth (2013) and Seventh (2014).

The team is looking forward to being competitive in their quest to claim the North Atlantic Division Championship for the second time in the past four years.

NORTHWEST DIVISION Oregon State University

Oregon State University is hoping to have another successful season after placing among the top four teams in the Northwest Division for the past six seasons. After finishing in Third Place behind the University of Oregon and Portland State University at the conclusion of the 2015 season, the Beavers enter the 2016 season in a rebuilding mode. With only five returning players, the team is young but should not be underestimated. Led by experienced players Alex Davis and Camille Vereschagin, the Beavers look to once again rate as a contender for the division championship.

Portland State University

University of Washington (Wash.)

After back-to-back Fifth Place finishes in the Northwest Division, the winds of change are upon the University of Washington Huskies as the five-time (1998-2001, 2003) champion and seven-time (2002, 2004-09) runner-up Lady Dawgs are poised to make a serious run at the Northwest Division title. Not only have the Huskies retained all their starters from the year before, but are joined by a large group of incoming, talented players, that will make an immediate impact upon the program. Veterans such as former Dartmouth College’s standout Kellie Macphee and the University of Michigan’s Caitlin Cramer have joined the program in addition to California talents Jayde Desprez-Lin, Kelly McGuire, Nicole Sargent, Mary Elizabeth Ward, and Jalene Weatherholt. The team has added further depth in the center position with local standout Brenna Tinsley and more speed from swimming talent Julia Sanders, who recently transferred from Texas Christian University. This year’s team will once again be led by Danielle Flanagan and Elizabeth Lipps who both earned All-Northwest Division honors last season. Second year coach Rudy Ramirez has added depth at the coaching level as he will be joined by assistant head coach, Gregory Mercer and assistant coach Alex Hart. The Huskies are setting the bar high with their sights on making a trip to the National Collegiate Club Championships for the first time since 2003. The coaches continue to stress the ultimate philosophy of the team - to play the best at which each player is capable of playing. Washington will continue to practice hard and focus on playing one game at a time.

This team has been competing at a higher and higher PACIFIC COAST DIVISION level each year, and 2016 will be no exception to the rule. These Ducks are a competitive team, and are determined to prove it to the California Polytechnic State University rest of the division. The most successful collegiate club water polo program in the history of women’s competition, California Polytechnic State University brings back several key players including 2015 All-Conference selection/sophomores Claudia Macedo, Taylor Best, Sydney Clark and goalie Sierra Sheeper looking for the program’s 14th Pacific Coast Division Championship. Over half of the team’s starting line-up is back and ready to dive into the upcoming season to erase the memory of last year’s division runner-up finish. The offense will look to returning set star Gianna Milano to force defenders to drop and open up the Mustangs’ outside shooters. Top-scorers Claudia Macedo, Sydney Clark, and Taylor Best will once again be major offensive threats, while freshman Melanie Flores shows promise on the offensive end. The team’s defense should be stable with the return

of sophomore Jessie Smith at the two-meter position where she will continue to foil opposing teams’ plans of putting the ball into set. Also at the two-meter position to relieve Smith is freshman Hannah Vaughn-Hulbert who has shown she can hold her own against nearly any set. Of course, the defense will rely on returning goalies Sierra Sheeper and Emily Dunlap as the last line of defense and to block outside shots. Perhaps the greatest loss from last season is the graduation of All-Conference coach Brendan Willms who led the team for the past three seasons. However, the large returning base of players has facilitated a smooth transition to a different coaching style under new head man Rudy Raimondi. Overall, with several returning stars and a deep bench line-up, seven-time National Champion (2003-2005, 2008-2011) Cal Poly is looking forward to a challenging and very competitive season.

Due to a strong recruiting class and the return of multiple players should allow the Bruins to once again be in the upper tier of the Pacific Coast Division at the conclusion of the season.

University of California-Santa Barbara

Captains Heather Borek-Klempfner and Faith Aguirre have high hopes for their team after returning from a strong season in which the club claimed the Pacific Coast Division Championship and a Fifth Place mark at the National Collegiate Club Championship. Dan Loman returns for his fourth year coaching the Gauchos, while veteran players Katie Owens, Rea Brakaj, Sofia Contreras, Emma Adams, Allie Kahler, Rachel Vaughn-Hulbert and Ann Webber-Bruya will provide the leadership, experience and guile necessary for the Gauchos to earn a trip to the 2016 National Collegiate Club Championship on the campus of the University of California-Santa Cruz.

University of Denver

The Utes welcome nine new players into the program and are anxious to see how the program will grow. All of their players, except for two from last year’s Rocky Mountain Championship team, return for another run at claiming the program’s inaugural National Championship. Losing two of their starters will impact the Utes’ team dynamics, but will allow for the new players to grow into their roles.

SIERRA PACIFIC DIVISION California State University-Chico

University of Southern California

The University of Southern California is excited for the upcoming season after placing Third (2013), Fourth (2015), Fifth (2009), Seventh (2012) and Eighth (2010, 2011, 2014) in the Pacific Coast Division over the past seven seasons.

Despite the loss of many key players, including Kelly Whitney and Nicole Morelos, sophomore Allie Moore and senior Nicole Flath will guide the team on offense with the help of Katie Franklin, and lefty Jaime Elliot. Two-meter players Allie Moore and Haley Reimers will be utilized in the offense, and two-meter defenders Nicole Flath and Lauren Wellman will keep Chico’s defense strong with the help of goalie Madison De Ronde. Incoming talents include speedy sophomore Madasyn Lewis and freshman Emily Lovato. The team looks forward to building with the talent that it has with hopes of returning to the National Collegiate Club Championship for the third time after finishing as the Sierra Pacific Division runner-up in both 2008 and 2009.

California State University-Maritime Academy

The Keelhaulers of California State University-Maritime Academy roll into the season with one of the largest rosters in recent school history. Last year, the Keelhaulers saw a revival in their program as they regained enough numbers to compete. Thanks to the leadership of returning captains Bre Zoellin and Paige Mullaney, the Keelhaulers are coming into the season with a good amount of both returning players and incoming freshmen. Returners Corinna Jacobs, Sarah Mena and Jen Boswell, along with newcomers Dalal Muqutash and Alissa Gunter, will all look to be big contributors in the field. The Keelhaulers anticipate senior Toni Anaya holding it down in goal as she makes the move from the field to exploit her athleticism and length in the cage.

Saint Mary’s College of California

The 2016 will be the first season in which Saint Mary’s College of California has a team with enough committed players to compete in the Sierra Pacific Division and the Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA).

University of California-Berkeley “A”

The University of California-Berkeley “A” Golden Bears are back in the pool working hard after a record breaking 2015 season. The Bears captured the 2015 Sierra Pacific Division Championship title for the first time in the club’s history with a thrilling 11-10 overtime victory against 2012 and 2013 National Champion the University of California-Davis “A” team. However, the highlight of the year came on the East Coast at Middlebury College as the Golden Bears made history by claiming the program’s first National Collegiate Club Championship by topping the University of Notre Dame by an 11-5 final score. Cal brings back All-Conference First Team selection/ captain Bella Gonzalez, joined by key returners Panna Felsen, Allis Yao, Ally Volf, Jennae Waney, Audrey Light and Devon Beebe. Remy Wallace will be the cornerstone of defense in the cage, as graduate student Abby Woodruff makes the transition from goal to the field. The outlook for Calfornia this upcoming season is promising, with a strong number of new players in addition to the core of returning student-athletes. Led by second year head coach Emily Schmit, who has previously coached at the University of Arizona, De Anza College and the University of the Pacific, the Bears are eager for another fun and successful season. While driven towards another win in the Sierra Pacific Division and ultimately the National Collegiate Club Championship, the team will focus on one game at a time as California is part of one of the toughest divisions in the Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA).

University of California-Davis “A”

The University of California-Davis is more than excited for this season after barely missing out on returning to the National Collegiate Club Championship due to an 11-10 loss to Sierra Pacific Division and National Collegiate Club Champion the University of California-Berkeley in the division title game. The 2012 and 2013 National Champions, the Aggies are hungry for another National title. The road to Nationals will not be easy, but UC-Davis is dedicated to working hard until it reaches it goal. New coaches Sean Grab and Rob Clemons take over the program. Transitioning to new leadership and coaching styles is usually tough, but the duo has made the process smooth and effortless for Davis’ players. Their extensive knowledge of the game and intense desire for a national title have inspired the team to swim faster, work harder and play smarter. Senior captains Aleya Spielman, Michaela Tillinghast and Elizabeth Waddell, in addition to fellow seniors Marie Popp and Emily Gould, are ready to guide the team to a season of success. Sophomores Sofia Caryotakis and Diana Hatamian are primed for their second season on the team.

Go Aggies!

University of California-Davis “B”

Seniors Rachel Weisend, Kristina Cronin and Danielle Canavan return to provide the leadership FSU will need to claim the program’s first Southeast Division title. Weisend led the team in steals last season and is a threat on both offense and defense.

The University of Georgia

Hoping to add another Southeast Championship title to their collection of 11-plaques (2001-2008, 2011, 2012, 2014), the Gators are ready to rise to the top.

San Diego State University “A”

San Diego State University has recently experienced a surge of success as the Aztecs captured the 2014 Women’s National Collegiate Club and Pacific Coast Division Championships prior to taking the 2015 Southwest Division crown and Fourth Place mark at the Collegiate Club Championship tournament. Due to its growth over the past several seasons, SDSU will split into “A” and “B” teams for the 2016 campaign. The “A” team, also known as the Red Team at SDSU, will include several returning players, two of which are

Nicole Ryder, who was a part of the All-America First Team last season, and 2015 All-America Honorable Mention pick Katie Enstad. Several new faces, including Emily Seitz and Lexi Domingo, will complete the well-rounded team that should be talented and deep on both the offensive and defensive sides of the tank. The Aztecs and head coach Jamie Cassidy hope to create a repeat performance of last year in claiming the Southwest Division title for a chance at reclaiming the National Championship.

San Diego State University “B”

For the second time in the history of the program, San Diego State University will field a “B” team. The Aztecs’ second competing squad will be a combination of both returning and new players. The Black Team, as SDSU refers to its “B” team, has seen a considerable amount of growth over the past several seasons to allow more players time in the water and provide newer members a chance to learn how the team plays in a competitive setting.

University of Arizona

A seven-time Southwest Division Champion with titles in 1998, 2000, 2001, 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2013, the Wildcats of the University of Arizona rejoin the Southwest Division after a year in the Rocky Mountain Division. Following the loss of both starting set players, the Wildcats will experience a rebuilding year.

University of California-Irvine

A former member of the Pacific Coast Division along with fellow Southern California institutions San Diego State University and the University of California-San Diego, UC-Irvine is coming off a successful season in 2015 following a Second Place finish at the Southwest Division Championship tournament.

University of California-San Diego

The Tritons of the University of California-San Diego remain among the top teams in its division after placing Third (2009, 2010, 2012), Fourth (2013), Fifth (2011) and Seventh (2014) in the Pacific Coast Division prior to notching a Fourth Place mark in the Southwest Division last season.

Texas A&M University

The 2001, 2008, 2010, 2013-2015 Texas Division Champions, the Aggies will seek to claim the program’s seventh division title since 2001. Led by fifth-year Kimbre Watkins, senior Veronica Hadley and sophomores Olivia Mattley and Nicole O’Donnell, the Aggies are the first team in Texas Division history to rate as champions for three years in a row. After tying for the 15th position at last year’s National Collegiate Club Championship, the team hopes to return to the tournament and place higher thanks to the presence of returning players Meredith Gregory, Elizabeth Crowling and Madeline McMillan. Notable new players Christina Lewandowski, Samantha Whitehead, and Michelle Hubbard should help the Aggies make another run at the National Championship. Overall, A&M is continuing a climb to the top of the collegiate club scene as the team previously placed Eighth (2001), 12th (2005, 2013, 2014), 15th (2008, 2015) and 10th (2010) in seven prior trips to the tournament. Gig’em!

Texas Christian University

The Horned Frogs of Texas Christian University join the Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) for the first time in 2015 and performed very well with a small team compared to the rest of the Texas Division. TCU surprised many of the established teams in Texas with their speed and experience level to finish second during the regular season, but lacked the numbers and depth to dominate at the division championship tournament. This season, the Horned Frogs hope to change that with the addition of a few strong incoming freshmen that should help Texas Christian best last year’s Fourth Place final mark.

Texas State University

The Bobcats of Texas State University will once again be small in number with plenty of excitement for a chance to compete. Last season, the team finished in Third Place during the regular season prior to falling to Texas A&M University by a 4-2 count in the Bobcats second Texas Division Championship title game appearance (2012, 2015).

Texas Tech University

Beginning its eighth season in the Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA), the Texas Tech University Lady Raiders finished in Fourth (2014) and Sixth (2015) Place in the Texas Division over the past two seasons. Via the presence of some key returning team members, and the addition of newcomers joining the team, the Lady Raiders hope to be contenders for a top spot in the division title race.

The University of Texas

The University of Texas is looking to grow and become a stronger team this year in light of nearly half the Longhorns’ program being comprised of new players. Thanks to the knowledge and skill that the new members have brought with them, Texas should once again Baylor University The Baylor University Bears continue a steady rise up the division be a strong competitor. Look for great things as the Burnt Orange ranks as the team strives to improve upon the past two years’ Sixth and White battle for the program’s ninth division title game appearance since 2007 and sixth championship (2002, 2007, 2009, 2011, (2014) and Fifth (2015) Place finishes in the Texas Division. 2012) of the 21st century.

TEXAS DIVISION

Rice University

The Owls of Rice University, who earned Fourth (2013), Fifth (2014) and Seventh (2015) place finishes in the Texas Division over the past three seasons, will work to bring a championship home for the first time since the 2003 through 2006 seasons.
