UNDERSTANDING THE GAME OF UNDERSTANDING THE GAME OF

WATER POLOWATER POLOWater Polo can be a confusing game for spectators. Th e 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 Information1. Each team has six fi eld 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. Th e object of the game is to score by placing the ball completely in the goal. Players may move the ball by swim-ming 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 off ensive team receives a penalty shot.

FoulsWhen an infraction of the rules occurs, the referee will point in the direction of the team taking possession, while blowing his whistle. Th e ball is put back into play with an action called a free throw. Th is means the player gets three seconds of free time to throw the ball to an-other teammate or swim it up the pool. A player cannot shoot a free throw unless outside the fi ve-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. Th e penalty for an ordinary foul is a free throw for the opposing team.

Major fouls are more severe and are penalized accord-ingly. 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 fi ve 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. Th e 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 StatementThe CWPA and the NCAA promote good sportsmanship by student-athletes, coaches and spectators. We request your cooperation by supporting the participants and offi cials in a positive manner. Profanity, racial or sexist comments, or other intimidating actions directed at the offi cials, 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.

Affi liate OrganizationsThere are many organizations affi liated with the sport of wa-ter 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 affi lia-tion 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 you would fi nd state sanctioning organizations, the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), the National Association for Intercollegiate Athlet-ics (NAIA) and all the collegiate conferences recognized by the NCAA or NAIA. Each individual organization operates independently with its own governing structure.

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. Spe-cifi cally, these guidelines include eligibility, academic progress for their student-athletes, competitive rules, championship guidelines, recruiting and fi nancial aid.

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.

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

Non-scholastic organizations include all other entities that provide the opportunity for people to be involved in the sport outside of an educational institution. These include YMCAs, Boys & Girls Clubs, parks & recreation programs, privately organized clubs, township/city programs and independent organizations like American Water Polo. United States Water Polo fi ts under this category as well, serving as the National Governing Body for the sport. They are also responsible for supporting and training Olympic teams for men and women.

For more information about any specifi c organization, contact the CWPA offi ce at 610-277-6787.

History of the CWPAThe Collegiate Water Polo Association originally began as the Mid Atlantic Conference, founded by Dick Russell (Bucknell University swimming & water polo coach) in the 1970’s. Its founding membership included teams from Maryland, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and New York.

The management and oversight of the organization relied on volunteer coaches until 1990, when a commissioner was hired to perform basic scheduling for the 15-member teams in the league. Offi ciating assignments were performed at the time 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. During the 1995 season, the organization experienced a strike by its offi ciating corps. This strike ultimately resulted in the organization establishing its own offi ciating bureau, assuming responsibility for all of its offi ciating assignments. The CWPA hired Tere Ma as its inaugural Director of Offi cials and Loren Bertocci as its fi rst Technical Director.

Few changes were made to this structure until 2006, when the conference established a Technical Committee. One of these members, Ed Reed, initiated the CWPA’s fi rst online education program in 2007 for referees using video clips.

Tie Breaker System - All SituationsIf at any time two teams are tied in record or in goal differ-entials as you walk through the tie breaker system below, the result of their head-to-head competition breaks the tie. Tie Breaker System - Two TeamsIf 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 - Th ree or More Teams (for seeding championships)If more than two teams are tied in won/loss records, goal differentials among the teams tied serves as the tiebreaker. If two teams are tied in goal differentials, head-to-head com-petition breaks the tie. If the goal differential in their con-tests 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 dif-ferential per game if the number of games between common opponents is unequal. Should teams be tied in won/loss re-cord and they have not played each other, goal differentials against common opponents that are seeded above them are used. If no common opponents are seeded higher, the goal differential against the highest seeded common opponent is used.

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

Goal Diff erentialGoal differential is a term used to describe the difference be-tween goals scored against an opponent and the number of goals scored by an opponent against a particular team.

VARSITY TEAM PROFILES

NORTHERN DIVISION

Brown UniversityWith the return of fi ve starters, Brown University will look to im-prove on its fourth place fi nish at the 2011 Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) Eastern Championship. Leading the offense will be All America selections Svetozar Stefanovic and James McNa-mara. Helping them will be sophomores Nick Deaver and Henry Fox. Defensively, Walker Shockley will anchor the goal for the Bears with senior Michael Hartwick manning the center defense position, backed up by freshman Will Klein. Seniors Cyrus Mojdehi, Dean Serure and Ryan Gladych will fi ll in as utility players. Brown also expects another solid campaign from junior Grant Villeneuve.

Connecticut CollegeEntering the program’s 12th season as a varsity sport, the Camels of Connecticut College begin 2012 with six new players who will aim to exceed the contributions that the program’s seven recent gradu-ates made during their tenure. Sophomores Jonathan Stark and Sam Siegel Wallace will be asked to do more as well with a year of colle-giate water polo behind them. Their classmates Nick DiLeo and Rob Spencer rarely came out of a game last year and should continue to distress opponents. Juniors Sam Buchman and Jasob Robb have been working out all summer to make the most of their opportuni-ties. In only his second season with the team, senior Chris Pielock will aim to aid the Camels in contending for the Division III Eastern Championship. Team captain and classmate Brian Barasha hopes to end his eight years (high school/college) playing with two-time All America pick Clayton Witter on a high note. Fellow senior Sam Burns will also be a threat at the center position.

Fordham UniversityThe Fordham University water polo team will have a very fresh look to it with 10 new additions to the roster to go with nine returnees. Head coach Bill Harris enters his ninth season at Rose Hill, and suc-cess will be found if he can get the new to gel with the old quickly. Among the returnees, senior Daniel Barron and junior Ben Clinkin-beard will serve as the team captains this season, and the Rams will need their leadership with 10 freshmen on the roster. Barron had his best season as a Ram last season, both on offense and defense, recording a career-high 39 points and 20 steals, while Clinkinbeard tied for third on the team in scoring netting 22 goals and 30 assists for 52 points. Other returnees that Fordham will look to for big seasons are junior Nicholas Allen and sophomore goalkeeper Noah LeBeau. Allen was second on the team in scoring with 59 points (34 goals, 25 assists), and has proved to be a solid commodity over his fi rst two seasons at Fordham. LeBeau took over as the Rams’ top goalkeeper by mid-season of his freshman campaign, earning CWPA Rookie of the Week honors once, and fi nishing with a team-high 195 blocks in 78 quarters.

Harvard UniversityThe Harvard University Crimson will be looking to build on a seventh-place fi nish at the Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) Eastern Championships last season. On the offensive end, Harvard returns three of its top four scorers from last season

CWPACWPA

VARSITY TEAM PROFILESVARSITY TEAM PROFILESin Max Eliot (44 goals John Holland-McCowan (33 goals) and Max Murphy (28 goals). The team also expects contributions from a seven-man freshman class that includes fi ve attackers. Three of the top four defenders from a year ago also return as Evan Ramsey (55 steals), Will Roller (28 steals) and Holland-McCowan (28 steals) are back to cause fi ts for opposing offensive players.

Iona CollegeIona College reached its fourth Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) Eastern Championship in the last fi ve years in 2011, but this year the team looks to do more than qualify by competing for a conference championship under the guidance of head coach Brian Kelly. Kelly’s 2012 squad, his 18th at Iona, will feature a talented group of veterans that will look to fi ll the void left by three start-ers, including seniors Matt Joslyn and Cameron Hudson, the team’s leading scorer a year ago. Leading the offense this season is sopho-more Jake Lloyd who is coming off contributing 57 goals, 11 assists and a team high 20 blocks as a freshman. Junior Lee Stiles is the only other returnee this season that placed in the top fi ve in scoring a season ago. In 2011, Stiles fi nished with 44 points on 33 goals and 11 assists. Senior Kristian Bocage scored a career high 19 goals a season ago and will once again be the team’s lead lefty in the pool. Also helping the Iona offense from the left side are sophomore Kyle Elmore, who scored 15 goals on just 34 shots a season ago, and junior Sean Davis, who has found the net 17 times in his fi rst two seasons with Gaels. Junior Matt Stelnicki had 16 goals a year ago and will factor into the Iona offense from the perimeter. Inside, Iona will look to feed sophomore Ian Thompson, who scored eight goals a season ago. Senior captain Connor Bracken and junior Bryan Driscoll are also capable scorers on the Gaels offense, combining for 22 points a season ago. Seniors Cody Siemeck and Joseph De Leone are a pair of players looking to contribute extra in the pool during their fi nal seasons, as each saw increased minutes late last season. Junior Jonathan Hernould and sophomores Nick Joslyn and Eric Corley add depth to the Iona roster, with Hernould ap-pearing in 18 games a season ago. Newcomers this season include sophomore James Ramaley and freshmen Tommy Keefe and Zach Presto. In net, junior Stefen Hill is the lone Iona returnee at the position. Hill, a two-year starter, appeared in 29 games a season ago, recording 286 saves and posting a .480 save percentage. Add-ing depth to the position are sophomore Mike Pufunt and freshman Matt McCruden.

Massachusetts Institute of TechnologyThe Massachusetts Institute of Technology Engineers come into the 2012 season with a great balance of young players and return-ers. A young team with a large freshman class, MIT returns a few experienced players ready to make a mark on the Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) Northern Division and Eastern Cham-pionship standings as senior goal keeper Kevin Hsiue and junior attacker Craig Cheney will key the squad. As a freshman, Cheney was the CWPA Northern Division Rookie of the Year and garnered CWPA All-Northern Division First Team honors in 2011. Hsiue and Cheney are joined by three other returning starters in juniors Scott Stephens and Andrew Dorne, along with sophomore Jack Clark.

Saint Francis CollegeSaint Francis College begins the 2012 season the hunter rather than the hunted, as the 2010 Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) Eastern Champion will seek to claim the program’s third Eastern crown in the eight years. The Eastern Champions in 2005 and 2010, Saint Francis’ quest for another trip to the National Collegiate Ath-letic Association (NCAA) Championship will depend upon replac-ing Association of Collegiate Water Polo Coaches (ACWPC) All-America selections Aleksandar Pantic and Filip Sasic. Leading the way will be fellow ACWPC All-America pick Marko Gencic who will strive to guide the eight-time (2000, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2010, 2011) Northern Division champion Terriers to another division and league crown. An All-North, All-Eastern Tournament and All-NCAA Tournament recipient in the past, Gencic was among the conference leaders in goals, shots, assists and blocks as a junior. If the adage is true that defense wins championship, then St. Fran-cis’ outlook for the program’s another Northern Division will rely on the play of goalie Igor Mladenovic. Look for Marko Dzigurski, Vuk Vujosevic, Bosko Stankovic, Baliant Toth, Luke Raic and Tyler Perkins to factor into the outcome of the division race. Among the newcomers, Florida natives Cole Hamre and Jacob Barashick join Texan Liam Veazey and Californians Matthew Varela and Aleksan-dar Jakovlevic as the future for one of the league’s dominant teams over the past decade.

SOUTHERN DIVISION, EASTERN REGION

Bucknell UniversityYear Two of the John McBride era at Bucknell University brings high expectations. The Bison lost just one starter to graduation and return their top four scorers from a team that fi nished the 2011 cam-paign strong. Senior captains Brian Barron (44 goals, 26 assists) and Matt Napleton (229 saves) will lead the way, although a strong sev-en-person junior class that features the team’s leading scorer, Alex Nowlin (88 points), and center combination of Jack Else and Mike Kimble will also decide the success of the team. Bucknell has six freshmen on its roster, including two centers (Andrew Roberts, Jedd Thayer) who will contribute in McBride’s center-based offense.

George Washington UniversityGeorge Washington University returns 90 percent of an offense that scored a school-record 333 goals last season. The Colonials’ attack will be led by juniors Nate Little and Daniel Tyner. Little led GW with 83 goals last season, while Tyner, a Southern Division First Team selection, scored 48. Head coach Scott Reed also a pair of sophomores - Brian Mojica and Ridvan Pehlivan - to step up on the offensive end this season after impressive rookie campaigns. Senior goalkeeper Cameron Illes is a three-year starter who ranks third all-time at GW with 785 career saves, and he will again be the anchor of the Colonials’ defense. In addition, fi ve newcomers join the Colonials in 2012, including graduate student Milos Purkovic, a transfer from nationally ranked Pepperdine University, and fresh-man Bogdan Petkovic, who has a wealth of international experience playing for his native Serbia.

Johns Hopkins UniversityJohns Hopkins University returns almost its entire starting lineup from last year with the graduation of only one senior in Mark Strick-land. Among the veterans, three All-America honorees return to the tank for the Blue Jays as Alex Whittam, Ross Schofi eld and Danny Ovelar form the core of a squad primed to defend its Division III Eastern Championship and make a run at both Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) Eastern and National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Championship berths. Whittam, a three-time All-America selection, scored 72 goals with 55 assists last season. Schofi eld, a two-time All-America, punched in a career-high 72 goals to go along with 47 assists to net First Team All-America accolades. In cage, Ovelar made 278 saves along with 81 steals to rank in the top fi ve in the nation, among all divisions, in saves. The Blue Jays should have one of the deepest teams they have had with the addi-tion of six freshmen that will all have an immediate impact. Ovelar will get some competition in the cage from high school All-America Eric Henrickson of Laguna Beach, Calif.

Princeton UniversityPrinceton University enters 2012 prepared to defend its Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) Eastern Championship behind a veteran laden squad. Despite the Tigers’ depth, a challenging slate lies ahead with games versus some of the top teams in the nation. In 2011, Princeton went 22-10, 6-2 Southern en route to its third Eastern Championship and a third place fi nish at the National Col-legiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Championship. The Tigers return 22 players this season, while adding three freshmen to the roster. The mix of experience and talented newcomers will assur-edly bolster the Princeton lineup. The three athletes include two fi eld players in Jamie Kuprenas and Bradley Wachtell, who will vie for minutes and garner experience from their veteran teammates.

19

Goalie Alex Gow rounds out the trio and he will be there to bolster Princeton’s play in the cage. In front of the cage, the Tigers will have the biggest hole to fi ll at 2-meters with the loss of Jeff Cole and Mike Helou. Rising sophomores Kayj Shannon and Matt Weber and senior Jack Ruth will look to come in and play a bulk of Princeton’s minutes. The most depth will be in the perimeter, as several play-ers will be able to step in and it will be one of the keys to this year. The new players will also be looked upon to dive in and keep the squad’s depth at a high level. The offensive attack will look to again be headlined by sophomore All-America Drew Hoffenberg. The at-tacker scored a team-high 47 goals, while adding 36 assists on the year. He enters 2012 as one of the Top-10 players in the nation, as per NCAA.com’s Players to Watch List.

United States Naval AcademyThe United States Naval Academy Midshipmen are coming off a 24-7 overall record and a runner-up fi nish in the Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) Eastern Championship a year ago. It marked the seventh straight year, tying a CWPA league record, that Navy has played in the Eastern title game. However, Navy’s last title came in the 2008 season which resulted in the Mids’ most recent Na-tional Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Tournament berth. Since the year 2000, Navy’s current three-year absence matches the longest the program has gone since winning the Eastern title and reaching the NCAA Championship. Navy’s offensive output will be done by a committee this year as head coach Mike Schofi eld saw fi ve of his top six scorers from last year graduate. The leading returning scorer is senior Paul Pedrotty, who was second on the squad a year ago with 78 points on a team-best 58 goals and 20 assists. How-ever, just three other players (Archie Warren, Pat Seipp and Scotty Snowden) reached 20 points a year ago. Anthony Gutierrez returns for his senior season in goal, making 377 career saves to rank eighth on the school’s career saves list.

SOUTHERN DIVISION, WESTERN REGION

Gannon UniversityGannon University returns 11 letter winners from last year’s squad that fi nished 8-17 overall and 5-5 in the Collegiate Water Polo As-sociation (CWPA). The Golden Knights eventually fi nished ninth at the 2011 CWPA Southern Division Championship with a 19-6 vic-tory against Penn State Behrend. Tenth-year head coach Don Sher-man has 68 percent of his scoring offense from a year ago return-ing in 2012. Junior Daisuke Takagi is back after leading Gannon in scoring last year with 52 goals. Other returners who reached double digits in goals last season include junior Tommy Nimrod (27 goals), sophomore Jake Ouellette (17 goals), sophomore Cody Sherman (17 goals), junior Kyle Lazenby (15 goals), sophomore Nathan Bean (12 goals) and senior Ben Feasley (10 goals). Goalkeeper Neal Zoellick completes Gannon’s experienced core. The senior played every min-ute in between the pipes last season, producing a 12.44 goals against average and .398 save percentage.

Mercyhurst UniversityComing off a 15-win season last year, the 2012 Mercyhurst Uni-versity men’s water polo team returns its top eight goal scorers and its goalkeeper. Combined with a deep incoming class, the Lakers hope to continue their success. In 2011, Coach Curtis Robinette’s squad won the Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) Division II Eastern Championship and placed sixth at the Southern Division Championship. The team also upped its regular season win streak against crosstown rival Gannon University to 13 matches. James Owen led the team with 57 goals, while Brett Luehmann had 55 goals and a team-high 26 assists. He also compiled 44 steals. Luehmann was selected to the Association of Collegiate Water Polo Coaches

(ACWPC) Division II All-America Team, along with the CWPA Southern Division All-Conference Second Team. Danilo Svorcan added 37 goals and 13 assists. In the cage, Matt Cote made 236 saves, while allowing 10 goals per game. Alex Strong totaled 43 points last season, while Kyle Scarry returns after a 34-point cam-paign. Josh Rodriguez is back after redshirting in 2011. He scored 38 goals in the 2010 season. This year, the Lakers will only have fi ve seniors, including Owen. Senior William Page missed a portion of last season due to injury, but is expected to regain the form that saw him become one of the team’s top scoring threats in 2009 and 2010. Strong junior and freshman classes are expected to carry much of the load this season. Luehmann, Svorcan and Cote will all be juniors in 2012.

Notre Dame CollegeEntering their second year as a varsity program, the Notre Dame College Falcons look to continue their winning ways and improve on an 11-9 mark last season. Led by junior captain, Vanja Kopilas, the Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) Southern Division-West Region and Division II Eastern Championship runner-up Fal-cons welcome back Istvan Cseh, Milan Burkus, Sean Kelly-Pain and Atahan Yaya with eyes on moving up the division and league stand-ings. Due to the experience of the returning players, coupled with the addition of 10 freshmen, the Blue and White look to compete in the Southern Division and are aiming for the third year program’s fi rst trip to the CWPA Eastern Championship.

Pennsylvania State University-Erie, Th e Behrend CollegeThe Lions of Penn State-Behrend will be looking to turn some heads and cause a few upsets as the season kicks off. Ali Khan and Jake Desroches are the 2012 captains ready to lead the Behrend Lions 11 returning and eight freshmen to a higher fi nish than a year ago. A two-time Association of Collegiate Water Polo Coaches (ACW-PC) All-America Honorable Mention selection (2010, 2011) Khan led the team with 36 goals on 92 shot and recorded 15 steals, eight drawn kickouts and seven fi eld blocks. Khan currently ranks in the Top-10 in school history in career goals, assists, drawn penalty shots and drawn ejections. Another player to watch is Kody Veit as the 2011 ACWPC All-America Honorable Mention selection fi nished with 35 goals and 12 assists in his rookie year. He led the team with nine penalty shots and was second with nine fi eld blocks. In cage, 2011 team Most Valuable Player Hunter Backentose returns after posting 229 saves, 58 steals, 10 assists and seven goals.

Salem International UniversityThe Salem International University men’s water polo team hopes to turn the page on a disappointing 2011 campaign and look towards a promising 2012 season in which the squad welcomes fi ve new faces. Under the direction of second-year head coach Robert Bullion, the Fighting Tigers are poised to jump back into the Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) spotlight. Returning captain Ryan Wells is coming off a stellar sophomore season in which he led the Tigers in goals, assists and steals to claim 2011 Team Most Valuable Player and Defensive Player of the Year notice. Team Rookie of the Year Borislav Kovacev will be a key player in the upcoming season as he was selected to the All-Tournament Team at Division II Champion-ship. Wesley Clark will be another leader for the incoming freshmen as he strives to carry over from the success he experienced toward the end of last season. Redshirt freshmen Vincent Lucas and Mi-chael Broome are two newcomers that could make an immediate impact. Further, the Tigers welcome fi ve freshmen with Kameron Schlegel and Paul Strube highlighting a group that will contend for immediate playing time. Strube, a native of Berlin, Germany and a two-time All-Division selection, was selected to the All-East Berlin Team that took fourth place in an international tournament against squads from Poland, the Czech Republic, Israel, Turkey, Great Brit-ain, Switzerland and Georgia. Schlegel, who was a member of the Northeast Zone Boys Water Polo Team from 2009-to-2011 has pri-or experience in high stakes water polo as he served as co-captain for his 2010 Junior Olympics team and picked up 2012 Speedo Boys All-America Third Team honors.

Washington & Jeff erson CollegeHead coach Jay O’Neil was selected as the CWPA Division III Women’s Coach of the Year during the spring season and gets his fi rst crack with the Washington & Jefferson College men’s program this fall. O’Neil, the Presidents’ third head coach in the past four seasons, looks to bring stability to a program searching for its fi rst winning season since 2004. The Presidents must replace two-time All-America selection Andy Rish, but plenty of talent returns for W&J which has one of its largest rosters in recent years with 23 players, including nine freshmen. Senior Cameron Chaves will lead the scoring attack after netting 33 goals a year ago. Chaves has proved to be a consistent scorer after fi ring in 32 goals as a sopho-more. Classmates Joey Weiland and Alex Shuey are proven veterans who added 16 and 12 goals, respectively, last fall. Weiland sat out his sophomore year with an injury and hopes to surpass his standout freshman season (31 goals, 14 assists). The Presidents’ sophomore duo of Carl Krause and Mike Magdic will also be counted on to pro-vide offensive fi repower following 27-goal rookie seasons. Krause was also third on the squad with 16 assists, while Magdic drew the second-highest kickout total on the squad with 26. Junior Dan Fran-cisco has seen a majority of the action in goal for the Presidents the past two years and has accumulated 242 career saves. Sopho-more Chris DeNunzio is also back after starting eight matches and producing 80 saves. O’Neil will also rely on senior Mike Johnson, a steady and reliable player the last three years. Johnson compiled seven goals, 13 assists and 17 steals last season after contributing 19 goals and nine assists in 2010. Juniors Brendan Lesniak and Nick Thorneloe and sophomores Conor Crowe, Justin Brier, Sam Taylor and Ben Mancini all provide O’Neil with solid depth.

Duke UniversityDuke University comes into the season in a rebuilding mode fol-lowing the graduation of fi ve seniors, many whom formed the bulk of the starting lineup last season. The team will hope to build on the experiences of the graduate students to guide the newer players along. Led by captains Tim Carlon, Trent Going and Yi Hong Poo, the Blue Devils are seeking to improve on a sixth position fi nish in the Atlantic Division a year ago.

Georgetown UniversityGeorgetown is starting off this season looking to build on last year’s successes and better its most recent previous fi nishes of second (2009, 2010) and third (2011) in the Atlantic Division. Despite los-ing seniors Dave Ferrara, Luke Connor and Owen McAleer, as well as Steve Ward, the Hoyas expect to be even stronger as the younger players gain experience. Georgetown will rely on the goaltending of senior Luke Crihfi eld as well as the offensive play of seniors Paul Connor and James Vandeventer in a quest to claim the program’s fi rst division crown and National Collegiate Club Championship tournament appearance since 2005.

James Madison UniversityJames Madison University returns for another season stronger than ever. Last year, JMU registered a record of 4-8 with nearly half of the team (nine) comprised of freshmen. This year those fresh-men are now sophomores with more experience in the sport and a stronger drive to succeed. The loss of veteran player and two-me-ter defender Christopher Ashley will challenge this young team to fi nd a strong and suitable player to fi t such a role. However, the rise of freshman Matthew St. Pierre, a water polo player since the fi fth grade, the Dukes’ hopes of a strong defense remain viable. Senior Kurt Clauss will likely lead JMU in points, with junior Paul McGrath and sophomore Chris Crampton also competent scorers. Other key players include sophomore Ryan Williams, seniors Daniel Gallin-aro, Blake Richardson and Dale Sager who should all infl uence the team’s leadership and success in the pool.

Loyola University MarylandAmong a slew of rising programs in the Collegiate Water Polo Asso-ciation’s National Collegiate Club ranks, Loyola University Maryland returns this season to make its presence known in the Atlantic Divi-sion and beyond. The Greyhounds seek to establish themselves as a team that will be a threat and upset the top teams in the league by projecting a strong defense and being able to keep pace on offense with the division’s best scorers. The team lost goalie Min Hei Wong to graduation, but regained him as coach, where he will guide the team from the deck and offer his knowledge. Senior captains Jordan Evans and Kyle Snow will need to overcome some challenges as the team has several members who are abroad for the semester and will not be available to play. Loyola hopes to use its incoming freshman talent to compensate for these missing players as the team strives to improve on an eighth place fi nish in the division last year.

ATLANTIC DIVISION North Carolina State UniversityThe North Carolina State University Wolfpack comes into the 2012 campaign after spending last season in rebuilding mode with less than stellar results in placing ninth in the Atlantic Division. Thanks to a large number of returning players, and increased experience all around, this should be an exciting year for the Wolfpack.

United States Naval AcademyA fi rst-year club program in the Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA), but a longtime member of the league, the Midshipmen of the United States Naval Academy join the Atlantic Division with the intention of improving throughout the season and competing for the National Collegiate Club Championship in the near future. One of the most successful programs in the history of the CWPA in varsity competition, the Midshipmen are poised to capture some championships, too.

University of MarylandThe University of Maryland comes into this season looking to build upon and surpass a frustrating 2011 fi nish. Following the gradua-tion of seniors Chris Gibeily, Joe Beavers, Matt Kolb and Brendan Desaulniers, the Terrapins will rely heavily on coach Jill Lau and their returning starters to get the team back into top shape. Juniors Dave Roberts and Pat Hagar, sophomore Zeyad Emam and gradu-ate students Jarrod Bonsmann, Andrew Fitch and Mostafa Nouh will fi gure heavily into the success of the team and will see signifi -cant playing time. Despite the graduation of several key members, the team still hosts an abundance of fresh-faced players ready to avenge Maryland’s second place fi nish in the Atlantic Division from a year ago. Improved communication will further help Maryland’s efforts to become the seventh program in the 13-year history of the Atlantic Division to capture the championship and an automatic berth to the National Collegiate Club Championship.

University of North CarolinaThe defending Atlantic Division champion, the Tarheels of the Uni-versity of North Carolina are no strangers to the upper-echelon of the division as UNC holds three crowns (2004, 2010, 2011) in fi ve title game appearances (2002, 2003, 2004, 2010, 2011). In possibly one of the tightest divisions in the Collegiate Water Polo Associa-tion, the Tarheels will need to possess the character to become the fi rst program in division history to claim three consecutive champi-onships.

University of VirginiaFollowing a fi fth place fi nish in the Atlantic Division, the University of Virginia enters this season looking for several young players to step up and fi ll the void left by the multitude of players who gradu-ated last year. Jacob Stock, Jason Herzfeld and Chris Kegelman will be the main offensive weapons, with Geoff Handsfi eld and Robert Klein adding lethal driving speed. The Cavaliers are anchored by goalie Thomas Heckelman as UVA will work to claim the program’s fi rst division championship since 2003.

Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State UniversityThe lone team in division history to advance to the Atlantic Divi-sion title game four consecutive seasons (2006-09), Virginia Tech comes into the season with the ultimate goal of returning to the National Collegiate Club Championship by bringing the division championship back to Blacksburg, Va. for the fourth time in seven years (2006, 2007, 2009). The team fi nished with a 7-1 record but a disappointing early exit in the conference tournament on the way to a fourth place mark in the fi nal standings last season. Due to the graduation of All-Conference and All-America goalie Peter Ollis, the team hopes Taylor Blair can fi ll in and help the Hokies rebound. Virginia Tech returns almost every starter, including two-meter de-fender Parker Field and All-Conference senior Matt Sylvester, who is eyeing another trip to the National Collegiate Club Championship. Sophomores Nate Peters and Michael Feihe will need to become more integral parts of the team if the Hokies hope to book a fl ight to Oregon State later this fall.

BIG TEN DIVISION

Indiana UniversityIndiana University benefi ted greatly from the acquisition of new head coach Patrick Beemer last season, as he guided the Hoosiers to second (regular season) and a fourth place fi nish in the Big Ten Division. The squad hopes to continue to improve this year with many returning members. Top scorers Mark Ryden, Will Rigali and Kyle Rickert are back to lead the offense, while Bryce Tobias returns in the cage with support on defense from juniors Kyle Anderson and Luca Pasquesi. Seniors Jack Howenstein and Matt Cooney are also back to lead the way. Top freshman prospects for the Hoosiers include Kyle Kreunen and Parker Wilkie, who are expected to con-tribute on both sides of the pool.

Michigan State UniversityComing into the 2012 season, the Michigan State University Spar-tans look to once again be crowned Big Ten Champions. MSU graduated fi ve starters from its 2011 Big Ten Division runner-up group that fell to the University of Michigan 8-7 in the title game. However, sophomore starter Drew Stoffel and senior captain goalie Robert Spiegel return for the three-time National Collegiate Club Champions (2000, 2006, 2008) and fi ve-time club fi nalist (2000, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008). In the team’s second season under

coach Ron Marsh, the Spartans have a division title on their minds and are seeking to capture their 11th Big Ten championship, includ-ing their seventh in the past eight seasons of competition. Michigan State’s depth and experience will continue to be one of its strong points as the program boasts 10 seniors prepared to end their ca-reers with a pair of championship plaques. Although MSU lost All-America Second Team selection Jacob Marsh and Honorable Men-tion pick Mike Scarcelli, senior captains Evan Reynolds and Jordan Sikkema, along with sophomores Nate Case and Josh Jackson, look to reload rather than rebuild one of the most successful programs in the history of men’s collegiate club water polo.

Northwestern UniversityAfter a year hiatus, Northwestern University returns to the Colle-giate Water Polo Association (CWPA) this year with high expecta-tions of a strong Big Ten Division fi nish. With a roster boasting an experienced group of senior players coupled with a crop of talented underclassmen, the Wildcats hope to be contenders for the divi-sion championship in the process of equaling the program’s 1993 National Collegiate Club Championship status. Seniors Ben Li, Gra-ham Olson, Matt Escalante, Nate Nemon, Sammie Offsay and Vic-tor Chang are expected to fi nish their careers by leading their team through a successful rebirth season.

Purdue UniversityOne of the rising teams in the ultra-competitive Big Ten Division, Purdue University has the potential to be among the contenders by the end of the 2012 season. On the heels of a fi fth place fi nish in the division race a year ago, the Boilermakers are out to prove they can compete with the best-of the-best in the division and the country. Although the club lost several athletes to graduation, including two-time team Most Valuable Player Jimmy Palac, Purdue adds a fresh-man class saturated with experience and potential. The team has realigned its priorities and hopes to contend for the Big Ten crown by the conclusion of the season.

University of IllinoisThe Fighting Illini of the University of Illinois are younger and hun-grier than ever. Coming off a respectable third place fi nish in the Big Ten Division in 2011, this spirited team returns with a goal of improving its fi nal place. Along with a large number of returning starters and seniors, Damian Fitzsimons is coming off an impres-sive summer season with the Arlington Heights Narwhals. Over-all, Illinois looks forward to working hard and fi nally achieving the program’s fi rst Big Ten Championship.

22

University of IowaThe University of Iowa surges back into the Big Ten Division with determination and reinvigoration running through the team’s veins. The Hawkeyes, now under the guidance of dedicated alum and Big Ten legend coach Bob Force, plan to improve on the team’s sixth-place performance at last year’s championship. Goalie Max Malec, Luke Fevold, Matt Johnson and Rob LeBeau return for their fi nal season, intent on another record-setting year. Juniors Chris Work-man and Genghis Hallsby, both newly christened captains, swim alongside returning starters Ed Martin and Sam Cleary, all of whom are determined not to be outdone and intend to rack up goals of-ten during the fall campaign. Experience will be a key part of the Hawkeyes’ strengths as sophomores Max Sim, Alex Karwath, Chris Hoover and Eric Pahl have a year under their belts and are poised for breakout seasons. While Iowa will be relying on the leadership of experienced veteran players, a strong recruiting summer for the Hawks has allowed a much larger bench than in previous years. Play-ers like freshman Evan Woodward, Kyle Plotsky and Ben Madden add to the squad’s talent pool as the Hawkeyes are eager to continue their newfound tradition of rising through the Big Ten ranks.

University of MichiganAs defending Big Ten Division champion, the University of Michi-gan Wolverines enter the 2012 season excited to both repeat their previous success and improve upon it. Fielding a roster which is considerably younger than in years past, the two-time National Champions (1998, 2003) will need to overcome the absence of some departed stars. The loss of 2011 Big Ten Most Valuable Player Matt Woelfel, Ben Hubbard, Kenichi Osawa and Pat Trabert will un-doubtedly disadvantage the team in its quest to earn another berth in the National Collegiate Club Championship fi eld. Still, a talented freshman class hopes to fi ll the voids and assist the older players in achieving their goals. Returning starters Grant Cole, Chris Taka-hashi, Peter DeJonge, Sam Rosen and Michael Venit will be pivotal to the Wolverines’ success or failure. Similar to last year, Michigan does not have a strong two-meter player and will rely heavily on their swimming speed for goal-scoring drives and rapid counterattacks. Overall, look for the Wolverines to be a strong competitor in the Big Ten Division. University of WisconsinThe University of Wisconsin Badgers enter the 2012 season in a re-building mode. Following the graduation of Captains Sean Madden and Charlie Krause, the Badgers will be led by senior goalie Ryan Svoboda and a strong junior class, headed by Connor Murphy. Of-fensively, Wisconsin will look to feed the duo of junior Brad Ferris and sophomore Edgar Lopez, who will provide a consistent two-meter scoring threat in front of the cage. Juniors Drew Heidenriech, Colin Terwelp and John Poelking will see an increase in playing time and will be counted on to bolster the Badgers’ offense. Defensively, graduate student Dan Wolak will supply strong two-meter defense. Overall, Wisconsin hopes its veteran leadership and team chemistry will lead to a successful fall.

FLORIDA DIVISION

Florida Gulf Coast UniversityEntering its second season in the Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA), Florida Gulf Coast University is determined to prove it belongs in the ranks of the Florida Division. The team is in a build-ing mode after a sixth place mark in the division last year, with many returning players and an infl ux of young talented freshman players.

Florida Institute of TechnologyBeginning its fi rst season in the Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA), Florida Institute of Technology is an eclectic team com-prised of former international team members from Jamaica, Qatar, Venezuela, Russia, France and Turkey. Led by captains, Travis Hun-sucker, Niels Ten Cate and Ollan, the Panthers will strive to bring their international experience to the Florida Division and immedi-ately establish a foothold in the league.

Florida International UniversityA two-time Florida Division (2007, 2009) and three-time Southeast Division (2004, 2005, 2006) champion, the Golden Panthers of Florida International University return to the Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) this season ready to vie for the title. No strang-er to the highest levels of competition, FIU advanced to the 2009 National Collegiate Club Championship game against the University of California-Los Angeles before falling via a 10-8 fi nal score. The last time FIU competed in the CWPA the Golden Panthers fi nished third in the Florida Division following the program’s seventh con-secutive title game berth in 2010.

Florida State UniversityFlorida State University is ramping up for another strong season in the wake of making its fi rst division title game appearance since 2003 with an 8-3 mark in 2011. The placement continued a steady rise to prominence for the Seminoles who fi nished fourth in the division in 2010, but are now ready to claim the division title and a spot in the National Collegiate Club Championship fi eld.

University of Central FloridaThe Knights of the University of Central Florida return this season with a senior-laden team after fi nishing fourth in the Florida Divi-sion last year. At the helm of the offense is Chris Culver, who leads the Knights, along with fellow seniors James Craig, Mohammad Ra-madan and Dustin Keyes. The team looks to be a strong force this year with new talents Charles Stewart and Collin Brandt. Former Knights player Joris Montero also returns to help UCF repeat as the Florida Division regular season champion.

University of Florida “A”The University of Florida is looking to retain its namesake division title and capture the program’s fourth bid to the National Colle-giate Club Championship in fi ve years. The 2008 and 2011 Florida Division Champion and host of the 2009 NCCC event, the Gators equaled the team’s all-time best fi nish of third place at Nationals last season at Georgia Tech, a mark the team is dedicated to bettering this year. As all but three of the members from last year return for another crack at claiming the program and division’s fi rst National Championship, the Gators are an early favorite to contend for the title. Florida plans to make another run by relying on a rock-solid defense anchored by All-Conference goalie Travis Catron and two-meter defender Kunal Patel. On offense, senior two-meter man and 2011 Florida Division Most Valuable Player Jason Mammino will once again pose a threat to opposing goalies. Shooters Cody Smith and Matt Sheehan join Mammino in keeping opposing defenses on edge. Newcomers Tony Aguilera and William Johnson are solid ad-ditions to an already powerful offense that defeated opponents by an average of nearly seven goals per game during 2011. Senior Matheus Rodrigues, and juniors Brian Montenegro and Christian Kamrath, will see a signifi cant amount of playing time as they help the Gators achieve their goal of fi rst time National Collegiate Club champions.

23

University of Florida “B”The only “B” squad in the division, the University of Florida “B” Gators look forward to making it a fun and productive year with new coach Bret Larson leading the way. Florida “B” looks forward to making it an All-Gator division title game.

University of Miami (Fla.)After winning the division in 2010, the Hurricanes fell to a fi fth place fi nish in the Florida Division last year. University of Miami is hoping to once again rank as a contender with the potential to remain among the nation’s best teams into the foreseeable future.

GREAT LAKES DIVISION

Grand Valley State UniversityThe Lakers of Grand Valley State University are primed to return to the pedestal as the most successful team in the history of the Great Lakes Division. An eight-time champion (2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2010), GVSU will work to regain its grip as the top team in the region through explosive offense and steady defense. Combining veteran leadership and youthful ambition, the Lakers fi nished fi fth in the regular season and second at the division championship tournament a year ago. If Grand Valley can form a cohesive unit and keep pace with the division’s other high-powered offenses, they may be raising its fi rst National Championship plaque since 2005.

Loyola University (Ill.)In just its third season as a member of the Collegiate Water Polo Association, Loyola University will seek to become only the sixth team in the history of the Great Lakes Division title to clasp a title plaque.

Miami University (Ohio)Miami University (Ohio) welcomes back starters Trevor Johnson, Adam Morrisey, Curtis Schaefer, Charles Schaw, Price Norman and Matt Gandlmayr to a squad entering its second season in the Great Lakes Division. Starting goalie Samuel Simmons is coming off an impressive year and looks to continue his dominance in the cage. With a promising class of freshmen and returning players, Miami is seeking to reignite a tradition of success and capture the program’s fi rst crown since 2007 (Missouri Valley Division).

Ohio UniversityOhio University comes into the season led by a corps of graduate students. The Bobcats, who are coming off a seventh place fi nish in the division a year ago, will need to fi nd consistent scoring to con-tend for a spot in the National Collegiate Club Championship fi eld.

Th e Ohio State UniversityThe Ohio State University returns all of its players from the Buck-eyes’ 2011 Great Lakes Division fi fth place season, with the excep-tion of last year’s starting goalie. OSU looks forward to the continu-ation of its high powered offense, led by two-meter set players Matt D’Errico and Ben McClurg. The duo will complement the speed of Porter Ritchie, Andy Turner and David Albert. On the defensive end, D. Ford Hannum will continue to be relied upon to stall the other team’s offense from the two-meter defender position. New-comer Jake Wood will be asked to fi ll the vacancy in goal, while the Buckeyes’ deep bench will keep the offense and defense fi ring on all cylinders throughout the entirety of each game.

University of ChicagoThe University of Chicago returns following a several-year absence from the Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) hoping to make a statement with a revived team. Although the majority of the squad’s student-athletes have never played competitive water polo, the Phoenix trained last year and contested several exhibition matches against Chicago-area schools to get ready for their return to the league. Veteran high-school water polo stars Eric Hallman and Giuliano Wrobel, along with graduate student Vicko Glunic of Croatia, have created water polo players out of ex-swimmers, div-ers and non-athletes. Between the pipes, goalkeeper Derek Davis, who brings skills from his high-school squad in California, is the last line of defense. Co-captain Victor Gutwein, Brian Zimmerman and Marcus Trybula will also factor for the Phoenix. Among a bevy of co-ed programs, Chicago will turn to co-captain Eileen Shiuan and Chloe Wild to aid in the program’s fi rst season back in the league.

University of DaytonAfter a rough season last year, the University of Dayton Flyers are soaring high this year with four returning starters. Replacing Mat-thew Derrico in net this season, Matthew Lechleiter will be com-manding the troops from between the pipes with his eight-foot wingspan. Two-meter sets Connor Thelen, Jimmy Nikele-Gomez and Evan Ruggiero return with more than 15 years of combined experience in the position. Former University of Illinois under-graduate Ryan Hays is expected to tear up the pool from the wings with Michael Ward, John O’Malley, Griffi n Korner, Ian Kinsella and Peter Wilson. University of Illinois-ChicagoDefending Great Lakes Division champion, the University of Il-linois-Chicago looks to retain the title and return to the National Collegiate Club Championship in 2012. On the heels of a sixth place fi nish at Nationals last year, the Flames will turn to a new netminder as freshman goalie Jihad Ramadan looks to once again fi ll the shoes of Shane Krivanec, as both attended Stagg High School. Zach Van Swol, Mateusz Waksumndski, Nick Velasquez and Erik Hernandez share a well rounded offensive attack at two-meters as UIC should boast one of the highest-scoring attacks in the division. University of Notre DameThe University Notre Dame will fi ght to improve upon last year’s fourth place fi nish in the Great Lakes Division. Second year head coach Scott Clines will guide a program that has a bright future with multiple freshmen showing an interest in competing for the Fighting Irish. Key players to watch include seniors Jon Hancher, James Liu, Chris Jennis, Tate Kernell and Chris Mertens and Rob Ray.

GREAT PLAINS DIVISION

Illinois State UniversityIllinois State University commences the club’s third year in the Great Plains Division with the goal of utilizing the talents of returning players Matthew Temple, Pat Kraulis, Mike Byron, Will Davidson and Cody Corradino in order to qualify for their third consecutive visit to the National Collegiate Club Championship. Illinois State returns four All-Conference players from the 2011 season and will also rely on players Matt Wiegel, Ethan Matthews, Tim Zoellick, Matt Pavlacka and Billy Fuener and a variety of newcomers to get the job done. The future is bright for a revamped Redbirds’ team ready to make an impact on the national scene.

24

Iowa State UniversityComing off a third place fi nish last year, Iowa State University enters the new season with high expectations after losing only two seniors to graduation. Scoring leaders Aaron Elston and Kyle Passini look to again anchor the offensive threat, while defensive specialists Nick Eddy and Patrick Finley are primed to have breakout seasons creat-ing turnovers. The goalie position should also be a strength as Evan Timm returns with another season under his belt. Bryan Passini, Nick Flynn, Noah Bergman and Jake Gazlay all are looking to make big contributions and form the foundation for a solid year.

Kansas State UniversityFollowing the loss of one senior player, Kansas State University strives to improve upon its fi fth place mark in the 2011 Great Plains Division standings with the help of a slew of new recruits. Brent Ware leaves behind a team that is attempting to regain some lost mo-mentum following a year of light recruiting. Under the leadership of head coach Bill Foster, KSU has increased its membership drasti-cally over previous editions of the Wildcats. It will be up to Foster and Eric Balas, the club’s two most experience members, to build a program capable of competing on a National Championship level.

Marquette UniversityMarquette University returns to the Collegiate Water Polo Associa-tion (CWPA) and the Great Plains Division in a rebuilding mode. Comprised predominantly of Chicago natives from Fenwick High School and one player from California, the roster features players with great defensive strength and exceptional shooting ability. Fea-turing only three seniors, the depth of the Golden Eagles’ team will need to come from its junior class that needs to step up to continue the rise of Marquette.

University of MinnesotaThe University of Minnesota men’s water polo team anticipates a dominating season under the direction of new coach Sunni Vang who comes to Minnesota after coaching teams in California. Vang brings experience and passion to a group of men who eagerly want to capture the Great Plains Division crown for the fi rst time since the Gophers claimed the 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009 titles. The 2010 and 2011 division runner-up, the team enters the 2012 season at its most experienced level as Drew Wojack was the lone player lost to graduation. David Brajkovic, Mike Opthof, Tyler Briesath, Micha Koenig and Bret Jackson return to compose a formidable crew in the fi eld. Further, the Gophers possess a solid second line of men that are ready to prove their worth and commitment to the penulti-mate goal of winning a National Collegiate Club title. In addition, a fresh set of recruits will help broaden Minnesota’s ranks for a strong championship run.

University of NebraskaThe University of Nebraska is looking to its returning players to provide leadership coming into the new season following a fourth place mark in the 2011 Great Plains Division standings. The Corn-huskers will need to overcome perennial powers the University of Minnesota and Illinois State University to make the program’s fi rst appearance on the national stage.

HEARTLAND DIVISION

Augustana CollegeDetermination is the key word for Augustana College this year. In 2011, the Vikings were the underdogs and shocked the Heartland Division to fi nish with a 9-2 record and third place fi nish in the fi nal standings. One spot shy of reaching the Division III Collegiate Club Championship at Hamilton College, Augustana will rely on Mi-chael Gerber, a 2011 captain, and Tony Passaro, the 2012 captain, to power the team to the 2012 Division III Championship at Middle-bury College. Mark Hillstrom, a former player who takes over as the program’s head coach, is eager to help the Vikings reach Vermont in early November. Fielding a roster of veteran players, including Erik Niemeier and Michael Duy, and anticipating a group of new players, Augustana is ready to take on the Heartland Division with eagerness to go above and beyond their expectations and past results.

Carleton CollegeAfter graduation, Carleton College is down to six returning men this season. However, the program is excited to maintain Carleton’s tradition of playing great water polo while having fun. Fresh from his study abroad last season, senior Ben Southgate is ready to lead the team at two-meters. Carleton has a strong core in its junior class. Jesse Gourevitch, the immovable object to Southgate’s unstoppa-ble force, will dominate at two-meter defense, while starting goalie Adrian Carpenter stops the shots that get by Gourevitch. Lefty Alex Simonides will also be an athlete to watch. First-year senior Julian Wyss, sophomore Andres Valle and incoming freshmen Wilson Jo-sephson and Jonathan Brodie will need to step up and fi ll in voids for the team to have a chance at advancing to a postseason cham-pionship.

Grinnell CollegeGrinnell College aims to continue its past success and gain a berth in the Division III National Collegiate Club Championship tourna-ment. Following a fourth place fi nish at the 2011 championship and a second place fi nish in the Heartland Division the Wild Turkeys are looking cultivate a sizable incoming freshman class. Grinnell lost powerhouses Sam Sherwood, Tom Lankiewicz and Nathan Krish-nan to graduation, but retain a group of core players that are ready to make the next step. Manu Spooner returns in the cage, along with fi eld players Austin Cote, Michael Brus, and Second Team All Conference pick Beck Ringdahl-Mayland. Although 2012 will likely be a year of transition from the old to new guards, the Wild Turkeys continue to look forward to winning the Heartland Division and notching a higher placement at Division III Nationals.

Knox CollegeThe Burning Squirrels of Knox College will continue their focus on team spirit and sportsmanship as the squad seeks to improve upon a seventh place fi nish in the 2011 Heartland Division standings. Thanks to its returning players and a batch of new recruits, Knox looks forward to another season of water polo and camaraderie with the other clubs in the league.

26

Macalester CollegeFielding a majority of returning players with a sprinkling of new-comers, the Macalester College Scots are ready to take command of the Heartland Division. The loss of only two seniors leaves the remaining veterans and a group of newcommers looking to surpass last year’s fourth place fi nish in the division. Senior Kai Cowger and junior Nathan Schachtman lead the offensive charge, with new ad-ditions Alex Frank and Oliver Koo also part of a strong scoring attack. Sophomore Simon Sanggaard and fi rst-year Ben Kromash will be the base of the Macalester defense in the cage, with center defender Clark Jacobson taking care of business in the fi eld.

Monmouth CollegeMonmouth College comes into this season with high expectations after another successful season last year by taking third place at the Division III National Collegiate Club Championships and winning the program’s fourth consecutive Heartland Division Title. Three starters return for the Crab People in All-Conference selection Gabe Baginski, Tony Marino and Josh Dunn. Captain Chris Falkenrath looks to step into the starting lineup and play a larger role. Sopho-more Marshall Palfenier will be relied upon as the last line of defense as he takes over in goal, while returning role players James Corbeil, Brian Woulfe, Brett Dunn and Frank Wasielewski all look to pro-vide Monmouth with added depth. After graduating a large senior class, newcomers Raheem Brown, Cameron Weber, Neal Hosper and Alex Hernandez will be asked to fi ll the gaps and continue the legacy of Monmouth Water Polo.

Saint John’s University (Minn.)The loss of graduated seniors Mike Kelash, Roseanne Frederick, Andrew Nicklawsky and Chase Milller will cause Saint John’s Uni-versity to rely on its freshmen to a greater extent than in previous seasons. As All-Conference player JD Quinby is studying off-cam-pus this fall, the squad’s reliance on sophomores Joe Duxbury, Lo-gan Arnold and Brandon Hansen to take on critical roles in the ad-ministration and performance of the team is of critical importance. Juniors Katie Verchota and Andrew Hovel are set as captains, with upperclassmen Connor Triggs, Alex Gernes and Wiley Radomski also providing experience to a squad in transition.

Saint Mary’s University (Minn.)Saint Mary’s University is coming off a rebuilding year in 2011 that should pay dividends in 2012. In the wake of an eighth place fi nish in the Heartland Division last year, the Cardinals are primed to move up the standings and make some waves.

MID-ATLANTIC DIVISION

Bloomsburg UniversityThanks to a large group of returning players, Bloomsburg Univer-sity is primed to improve on last season’s performance. Putting a strong emphasis on teamwork and defense, the Huskies are looking to do big things in the league. A solid freshman class is also ex-pected to contribute to the team’s success.

Bucknell UniversityAmong the newest members of the Collegiate Water Polo Asso-ciation (CWPA), the second-year Bison of Bucknell University are gunning to improve on last year’s second place fi nish in the West-ern Region and sixth place mark in the fi nal Mid-Atlantic Division standings.

Carnegie Mellon UniversityAfter reaching the Division III National Tournament over the past two seasons, Carnegie Mellon University aims to continue its streak of success. Though many members from the previous incarnations of the Tartans have transitioned to alumni, a strong group of ju-niors will provide experience and leadership for the program. Cap-tain Matthew Reid has shown defensive dexterity during his fi rst two years with the team and returns as a major motivator for CMU’s title hopes. Graduate students Miki Silver and Greg Slovin provide size and strength. Additionally, the Tartans are reinvigorated by experi-enced newcomers of both freshman and graduate student status.

Drexel UniversityFollowing a strong fourth place fi nish in last year’s Mid-Atlantic Di-vision Championship, Drexel University looks to take the next step and compete for the program’s fi rst division title. Under the leader-ship of captains Josh Hooruneit, Sean MacLean, Alex Miller, and head coach Jason Salgado, the Dragons return with Alex Luckey, Ja-son Su, Kyle Van Leer, Chad Schmidt and Mike McGinley compris-ing the core of the squad. Watch for goalie Alex Chialastri to make a case for All-Conference honors, while rising stars Ed Spangler, Steve Foss, Zach Geesey, Amanda Pegues, Lawrence Tello, Dave deLeon and goalie Dave Lemons also look to make a splash follow-ing years of hard work and dedication to the sport. Amid the highly competitive teams of the Mid-Atlantic Division, Drexel is a team to watch this season and into the future.

Franklin & Marshall CollegeFranklin & Marshall College returns to the pool with a young club ready to work harder than ever to qualify for the postseason. After graduating almost half of the 2011 team, and experiencing a large freshman turnout, the Diplomats seek another successful season on the way to developing a high-caliber program. Co-captains Jack Mahoney and Billy Cappuccio lead a program poised to raise its competitive edge with the possibility of qualifying for the Division III National Collegiate Club Championship and becoming the fi rst Pennsylvania team to capture the prestigious championship. Grove City CollegeAmong the most successful small college teams in the Mid-Atlantic Division, the Grove City College Wolverines are looking forward to their large number of young players to step up and compete this sea-son. Team captains Drew Archibald and Seth Brooks hope to guide a young GCC team back to Division III National Collegiate Club tournament. Grove City expects big things from senior Dan Henley

and juniors EJ Leuschner, Ken Vinyard and David Bossert. The team is fi nished off with a strong group of sophomores as the Wol-verines hope to improve on their 11th place fi nish in the Mid-Atlan-tic Division from last season.

La Salle UniversityEntering into its fourth year in the Collegiate Water Polo Associa-tion (CWPA), the Explorers of La Salle University are headed in a upward direction with new captains and a new coach. New head coach Andre Nyce has plans to strengthen the program in the wake of last season’s 14th place fi nish in the fi nal Mid-Atlantic Division standings. Lehigh UniversityLehigh University enters the 2012 season with a strong team. The majority of its starting team returns to provide exceptional experi-ence for the Mountain Hawks. Although goalie David Begley and driver James Malone were both lost to matriculation, an infl ux of strong freshmen players should fi ll the gaps. Co-captain Alec Chin Lee will be a force at two-meters, while his sister Kelly joins the team as a freshman. Driver Fred Mischler brings his pin-point lob shots to the Mountain Hawks’ offense. In the past, speed has been a weak-ness of the club. To compensate for the previous lack of quickness, Lehigh will aim to ramp up their intensity. Veteran swimmers and drivers Kellyn McCarthy and Mario Schwaller should pick up the slack on both ends of the tank and enforce stronger practice rituals. Two-time All-Conference selection and leading scorer Carter Lath-rop returns as captain, while Murphy Zingsheim, Tyler Lareau, Ryan Taglang, Sophie Kravet, Lydia Hunt and Keith Morse also return to strengthen the program.

Millersville UniversityMillersville University has a promising outlook for the 2012 sea-son after a fi fth place fi nish in the Mid-Atlantic Division-Eastern Region regular season results and a seventh place mark in the fi nal division standings. The Marauders will strive to move into the Top Four during the regular season to once again qualify for the Mid-At-lantic Division’s “A” Championship with a chance at earning a berth in the National Collegiate Club Championship tournament. Under the leadership of senior Kevin Koehn and with the help of other veteran players Maddie LaCesa, Melanie Greaves, Mike Fisher and Johnny Kresler, the team anticipates having a solid season and chal-lenging for the championship. New players such as freshmen Jessica DelMonaco and JD Ricapito will be integral to Millersville’s success now and in the future. Abby Moll, Christine Neville, Scott Espen-shade and Jim Kheller all return to solidify the Marauders’ outlook.

Pennsylvania State University2011 Mid-Atlantic Division Western Region champion Pennsylvania State University comes into the season looking to rebound from a disappointing result at the division championship. PSU, which dropped a 10-9 game to Drexel University to end the Nittany Li-ons’ division title hopes on the way to a fi fth place fi nal standing, will be without some integral players from last year’s 10-1 club. The team lost its starting goalie, two-meter defender and leading scorer to graduation, but brings back four senior starters in Andrew Nagel-berg, Cole Hepper, Tommy Miceli and Ben Hengels dedicated to re-turning PSU to the National Collegiate Club Championship tourna-ment for the fi rst time since 2009. Last year’s freshman class showed great promise in their fi rst year of collegiate water polo and the team will look for them to play a larger role in the 2012 season. Sopho-more goalie Peter Lewin takes over between the pipes and replaces four-year starter Bryan Focht.

27

Saint Joseph’s UniversityAfter a disappointing 13th place fi nish in the 2011 standings, Saint Joseph’s University is rebuilding its team following the loss of sever-al signifi cant pieces during the off-season. Several positions opened up, including two-meter defender and goalie, but veteran players Brett Portelli and Brady Werkheiser should help fi ll the gaps. Several players have expressed an interest to take over in cage as the Hawks’ hope to develop together into a strong team. Core defensive players, Maya Wilson, Madeleine Keogh and Marisa Samuelsen come back for another try at the Mid-Atlantic Division title, while senior TJ Bahr, junior Tim Bergey and senior Twells Teirs should contribute as utility players.

University of DelawareA fun-loving team ready to take the next step in their development to becoming a consistent Mid-Atlantic Division threat and National Collegiate Club Championship contender, the University of Del-aware placed third in both the Eastern Region and fi nal division standings a year ago. Due to the intensity of the division’s regular season meetings, combined with diffi cult practices, the Blue Hens are ready to move into the limelight and become only the fi fth dif-ferent program to claim the Mid-Atlantic crown.

University of PennsylvaniaThe Quakers of the University of Pennsylvania return to action af-ter fi nishing as the 2011 Mid-Atlantic Division runner-ups behind the Wildcats of Villanova University. Led by seniors Mid-Atlantic Division MVP Ryan Percy, Blake Winston, Dan Fallahi and Shane Gillette, Penn is hungry to return to the National Collegiate Club Championship after taking the 2010 division title and placing 10th on the national stage. In goal, junior John Ibrahim rounds out an ambitious group which is looking to claim the program’s eighth divi-sion crown. Boasting high ambitions, coach Antonio Merlo should lead the Quakers into what looks like a promising season.

University of PittsburghShort goalie Harrison Fisher and team Most Valuable Player Adrian Shodi, University of Pittsburgh captains Theo Danciu and Scott Schmalzreid will need to fi nd suitable replacements at those two positions for the Panthers to have a chance at capturing the pro-gram’s fi rst Mid-Atlantic Division title. Russ Kleuver, a former Pitt divisional swimmer, will be relied on during the counterattack, and dual lefties Theo Danciu and Andy Zanetti will hopefully be strong as well. Pitt’s main strength will be defense as guard Justin Mauro should rate among the best stoppers in the league.

Villanova UniversityVillanova University will seek to defend its Mid-Atlantic Division title against a much improved Eastern Region and a reinvigorated Western Region. Facing a daunting task, the Wildcats return most of their starting roster, with a question mark regarding if Dan Quig-ley, last year’s leading scorer, will return to the team. Two players to watch on offense are left-handers Joe Schaadt and Ben Mix. The pair provided the majority of the offense apart from Quigley and will be relied upon again this season. Ryan French, an All-Conference selec-tion who kept the team in many games in 2011, will lead the defense. French will be assisted by two-meter defender and driver Andrew Hotchkiss. Other players expected to contribute include Matt Braw-ley and Jamie Padula. A fi ve-time division champion (2000, 2001, 2003, 2004, 2011), Villanova tends to capture titles in pairs as the current Wildcats will attempt to join their predecessors along with the 1995-1997 and 2007-2008 Quakers of the University of Penn-sylvania as the only teams to repeat as Mid-Atlantic Division titlists.

MISSOURI VALLEY DIVISION

Lindenwood University “A”A fi ve-time Missouri Valley Division champion (2005, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2010), this marks Lindenwood University’s 10th season in the Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) as the Lions are shoot-ing for the program’s fi fth Missouri Valley title in the past seven years. After losing multiple seniors from last year’s Missouri Valley runner-up roster, captain Toni Storic and seniors Justin Bowers and Michael Willar are tasked with leading the team back to the National Collegiate Club Championship. Behind the leadership of the upper-classmen and contributions from freshmen, the team looks to fulfi ll its goals for the upcoming year. After winning three consecutive Di-vision III National Championships (2006, 2007, 2008), Lindenwood seeks to take over the top position at Nationals under the tutelage of head coach Marko Cubranovic.

Lindenwood University “B”After fi nishing third in the Missouri Valley Division last season, the Lindenwood University “B” team will continue to aspire for a berth in the division title game. Seniors Mike Rimkus and Ricardo Rivera will lead the team, with Gojko Milutinovic returning to the net look-ing record a personal best season. In addition, a large incoming class of freshmen should bolster the Lions’ roster.

Saint Louis UniversityThe third time was the charm for Saint Louis University as the team knocked off the three-time defending champion Lindenwood Uni-versity Lions to claim the 2011 title. A 2009 and 2010 runner-up in the division, the Billikens bring back the majority of their players from the championship campaign. In addition, look for a group of incoming freshmen to form the basis for Saint Louis’ future title hopes.

Southern Illinois UniversityAmong a group of fi rst-year or returning programs in the league, Southern Illinois University joins the ultra-competitive Missouri Valley Division with hopes of making improvements and staking a position of power in its inaugural season.

Washington University in Saint Louis (Mo.)The Washington University Bears come out of hibernation with guns-blazing. Four returning starters and two goalies capable of shutting down even the most skillful sharpshooter highlight a Bears’ club seeking to retain the Division III Collegiate Club Champion-ship. First-Team All-Conference selection Chris Lauber is the key-stone of the team’s defense. Goalie Andrew Ng and defensive spe-cialist Brian Kaehler have been stonewalls in the past. Young guns Joe Fiala, Keaton Wetzel and Max Silver will use their strength and agility to score goals for Washington. Look for Ryan Halvorsen and Vedad Karahodzic to consistently draw ejections, while Rick Chopp and Kris Sladky provide a powerful one-two punch on the counter-attack. Elijah Lowenstein and captains Shay Banton and Tim Greer are responsible for decoding their best opponents’ strategies and exploiting any fl aws. A promising incoming freshman class that in-cludes utility player Nick Becker and attacker Sky Walker, adds to an unprecedented level of talent for head coach Nathan Todd. Western Illinois UniversityLed by Ryan Wise, Western Illinois University will work to return to the division title game for the fi rst time since capturing the 2004 championship.

28

NEW ENGLAND DIVISION

Boston CollegeThe runner-up during the regular season last year, the Eagles of Boston College experienced a tough division championship tour-nament, fi nishing fourth in the fi nal standings. Holding a collec-tive goal of winning the New England Division Championship and earning a bid to play at the National Collegiate Club Championship, the team is prepared to claim a division crown for the fi rst time since taking the 2006 North Atlantic Division title.

Boston UniversityBoston University is looking to capitalize on a solid group of fresh-men. After a third place fi nish in last year’s division championship, the Terriers plan on fi elding a stronger defense and a reorganized offense to reach a title game for the fi rst-time in program history.

Dartmouth CollegeDespite four consecutive New England Division title game appear-ances, with a victory in 2008 and losses to Yale University in 2009, 2010 and 2011, the Dartmouth College Big Green know that a fi fth-straight trip to the championship tilt is not guaranteed. In the af-termath of graduating a number of starters, captains Ali Titiz, Will Derdeyn and Christian Sherrill, along with Ben Reasons, are all back for another great season. Veteran goalie Dan Harnish is ready to step up as the starting netminder. The Big Green is also happy to welcome junior Jack Foley to the pool after a brief hiatus from the game. A number of strong new freshmen join the team and are ex-pected to make a signifi cant impact. Head coach Randy Budner and assistant coach Forrest Pollard are also back as Dartmouth looks to equal a historic mark. A fi ve-time division champion, with victories in 1996, 1998, 1999, 2001 and 2008, Dartmouth can become only the second program in division history to reach the division title game in fi ve consecutive seasons.

Middlebury CollegeMiddlebury College begins the season with a young team, having lost six seniors to graduation, four of whom were regular starters. The outlook is bright however, as the Panthers will rely on a strong freshman class and veteran leadership from its seniors to compete. Middlebury is looking to improve on its seventh place fi nish at the 2011 Division III National Championship and will need to tally goals from forced turnovers and man-up situations. The team will rely on veterans Austin Bergeron, Ian Lindsay, Jeremy Janson and Patrick Li on offense, while Blake Harper takes over between the pipes. The return of Ricky Chen and Peter Diprinzio from training abroad will certainly help the Panthers improve, but the rest of the program’s turnaround will be up to a fl ock of underclassmen. Middlebury will greatly miss the overwhelming defensive presence of Paul Gerard and Andy Collins, as well as the selfl ess play of Andre Keiser on offense, but luck, talent, and good fortune should aid the Panthers in overcoming any diffi culties and reaching the podium for the fi rst time since Middlebury’s last championship in 2007.

Wesleyan UniversityFollowing a sixth place fi nish in the New England Division in 2011, the Wesleyan University Cardinals are hoping for a quick rebound. Wesleyan found some traction mid-season with wins over Boston University and Middlebury College, but could not carry the momen-tum into the fi nal tournament due to injuries. The Cardinals return 17 players and fi ve starters for the 2012 season. Key among the return-ing group are four-year starters Wesley Fantini and Brendan Fortin.

Fortin has been a leading scorer for Wesleyan every season since he was a freshman as a dangerous lefty. Fantini, a captain and All-America selection in 2010 and 2011, looks to rebound after a sea-son-ending injury. Also returning is co-captain Russell Madison who adds to Wesleyan on both ends of the tank with considerable size and strength. Seniors Thomas Cho and Nicholas Huston add depth as the Cardinals seek to channel their energy with greater condition-ing and smarter play to battle for the New England and Division III championships come late October and early November.

Yale UniversityThe three-time defending New England Division champion and the 2011 National Collegiate Club Championship runner-up, Yale Uni-versity will need to overcome the loss of four talented seniors in Jack Montgomery and Club All-America players Keith Rubin, Paul Orland and David Skophammer to go for four consecutive titles. Due to the loss of the Bulldogs’ quartet, this may be a rebuilding year for Yale, which has big shoes to fi ll to reassemble the team. Graduate students Derek West, Ross Macdonald and Paul Randt bring experience and wisdom. Senior and player-coach Dom Kwok leads the team into a new quest as the bar has been set high by the Bulldogs’ recent success.

NEW YORK DIVISION

Binghamton UniversityBinghamton University comes into this year looking to build its young talent and stars of the future. After graduating several key players, the Bearcats are still optimistic with a crop of talented young athletes who are looking to make a name for themselves. Look for Alejandro Chavez to make a big splash on the conference and for Seth Wolin to make a statement going into his junior year. Although Binghamton will be missing their biggest asset in goalie Russel Drake, senior fi eld players Natalie Triana and Nick Devlin should keep the team poised to allow the young talent to shine.

Colgate UniversityAfter a sixth place fi nish in the 2011 standings, Colgate Universi-ty looks to better its record in the New York Division. The team will need to replace Chip Molten and Mike Chamberlain to have a chance at claiming the program’s fi rst division championship since 2005. Captains Brian Sayler and Will Centner are excited to lead a team of juniors and sophomores in a quest for Colgate’s third New York Division title.

Columbia UniversityComing off its best season in school history, Columbia University will look to continue to build off its fourth place fi nish at the 2011 National Collegiate Club Championship. The four-time defending New York Division Champions are back with Kai Golden, Caleb Greig and Silas Wilkinson set to lead the offense. Newly appointed head coach Akhil Mehta will devise carefully calculated defensive tactics to guide a strong unit that includes Jhon Echeverri, Vahe Morkosian and Ido Coren. Columbia is eager to take on the task of pursuing another New York Division Championship and berth to the National Collegiate Club Championship.

Cornell UniversityCornell University aspires to build from a productive last season where it fi nished 7-1 in league play and 12-5 overall. Notable victories includ-ed a win over the University of Pennsylvania in the Ivy Championship

tournament and a pair of victories against Army. Graduate student Mario Martone will once again be the focal point of the offense in the two-meter set position. The driver positions are led by the of-fensive talents of junior Evan Ciecimirski and the defensive skill of senior Tyler Marrero. Senior Captain Dylan Spitz and sophomore Henri Frey provide the Big Red with two strong shooting lefties. On defense, graduate student Sean Lyons will bring the pain to opposing sets. In goal, graduate student Alex Schlichting will defend the pipes for his fourth season with assistance from sophomore Gavin Taves. Look for sophomores Angel Martinez and Lee Brown, junior Jack Robbins and seniors Alex Correa, Andrew Broenen and Areeb Malik to contribute off of the bench. Thanks to a strong incoming fresh-man class, Cornell seems to have the depth and fi repower needed to bolster it to the National Championship tournament in November.

Hamilton CollegeHamilton College enters its fourth season looking to make a state-ment. Last year, the Continentals fi nished fi fth at the Division III Club-National Championship to cement itself as a school to con-tend with despite its recent entry into the league. Returning play-ers include Captains Tom Youngblood, Dan Levine, Graham Boyd and veteran starters Taylor Hogenkamp, Nick Ruppel and Reuben Dizengoff. Coming off a wild post-season fi lled with tight games, Hamilton seeks to utilize an aggressive offense. Although Hamilton loses two seniors to graduation in Tom Cyran and James Crafa, the team hopes to fi ll the gaps with a strong freshman group.

New York UniversityThis will be a rebuilding year for New York University following two division title game appearances in the past seven years (2007, 2005) and one championship (2007). Coming off a fourth place fi nish in the New York Division, NYU will rely on strong defense and timely offense to once again contend for the title.

Rensselaer Polytechnic InstituteRensselaer Polytechnic Institute will focus on recruiting, physical fi t-ness and scrimmaging under new club president Aaron Valentine. RPI will train to become a formidable contender in its division as the team seeks to strengthen its new recruits and draw interest from the RPI community.

Syracuse UniversityUnder new coaching and administration, Syracuse University will need to work hard and to be a contender in this division. Multiple third-year players return to help lead the team, among them Achintya Sankarraman, Billy Wagner, Julian Capriles and Joseph Underberg. Along with some returning freshmen, the Orange hope to gain new players and fi nd ways to integrate everyone within the team.

29

United States Military AcademyA four-time New York Division champion (1998, 1999, 2001, 2002), the United States Military Academy fi nished third in the division a year ago and will seek to return to the title game for the fi rst time since four consecutive appearances from 2006-to-2009.

NORTH ATLANTIC DIVISION

Amherst CollegeAfter a strong showing in 2011, Amherst College comes into the season looking to defend its North Atlantic Conference title with a strong defensive game. Following the graduation of three key con-tributors, the senior class and co-captain Dan Paltiel will lead the team with the help of an especially large junior class headed by All-America Second Team selection Connor McAuliffe and co-captains Caryln Robertson and Peter Landefeld. The sophomore class looks to build on a freshman year that saw substantial playing time and provided both offensive and defensive play-making abilities.

Bates CollegeBates College fi nished fourth in the North Atlantic Division a year ago and continues to rise in the division ranks. Every member of the team is an essential component and plays a huge role in why this club is recognized as a formidable opponent. Hosting at home this year may also help give the squad an edge in the early part of the season.

Bowdoin CollegeLed by All-America selection and captain Spencer Vespole, a dy-namic shooter and defender, Bowdoin College hopes to expand on last season’s North Atlantic Division and Division III National Col-legiate Club Championship runner-up fi nishes. Vespole is joined by a number of talented seniors in Bowdoin’s bid for a second straight D-III Championship bid. All-America goalie Alex Edison is sturdy behind the cage, while co-captain Basyl Stuyvesant’s exquisite speed and defense frustrates his opponents. Co-captain EJ Googins’ blend of size and shooting makes him a nightmare for defenders. Similar to last season, the Polar Bears expect to win via defense with post defenders Colin Kennedy and Danny Byrnes controlling the inte-rior. Rounding out Bowdoin’s roster are returning sprinters Chris Granata and Linc Rhodes, and gifted passer/zone defender, Patty Boyer.

Colby CollegeThe Mules of Colby College are starting this season with a rebuild-ing mindset. Last year, Colby had a seventh place fi nish in a competi-tive North Atlantic Division but only two starters return for another try at the title. Goalie Andrew Hedberg and fellow seniors James Hootsman and Kayleigh Monahan return from abroad hoping to lead a young team in the Mules’ recently redone pool. Sophomores Liam Connell, Olivia Lang, Paul Wennberg and Anne Schechner will see considerable playing time, while professor Kerill O’Neill will be a priceless asset in the water.

Saint Michael’s CollegeStarting its second campaign as a member of the North Atlantic Di-vision, Saint Michael’s College plans to compete with heart and build for the future after placing eighth in the division last year.

Tufts UniversityThe Tufts University Jumbos charge into another season hoping to maintain their high performance of the past three seasons. Despite the

loss of last season’s senior co-captains, All-America First Team se-lection Benji Koltai and All-America Honorable Mention pick Alex Strittmatter, the young team will be working toward a division Cham-pionship and national attention. Juniors Austin Wood, Inbar Fried and Chris Langbort, along with sophomore Justin Choi, are signifi -cant threats on the offensive end. Juniors Kyle Savidge and Steve Lessard, as well as Choi, will see time in goal this season, providing a strong, consistent and deep set of goalies. Wood and Lessard, who both earned All-Conference Second Team honors in 2011, will form the core of the team on both ends of the pool. While the upper-classmen are fi lling voids after the loss of a strong senior class, the incoming freshmen should contribute to the transition game.

United States Coast Guard AcademyThe United States Coast Guard Academy is proud to have its largest team ever for the 2012 season. Captains Geoy Thomas and Isaak Olson, along with seniors Harrison Carter, Chris Clifton, Dan Graf, and Nicholas Poehler, will lead a team with over 20 returning play-ers.. Juniors include Eric Bonomi, Bear Johannsen, Scotty Ken-ney, Cameron Lanphere, Marc McAndrew, goalie Ryan Montvydas, Marco Tinari and Charlie Totten. Sophomores Andrew Ellis, Drew Ferraro, Adam Hoburg, David Hughes, Tyler Kotchman, Anthony Orr and Julio Rocha complete the Bears’ veterans. Juniors Alex Doa, Evan Truman, Christian Brindamour and goalie Brandon Cespedes join the team, along with several new sophomores and freshmen. The Bears look forward to an exciting season with so many experi-enced and eager players.

University of MassachusettsThe University of Massachusetts water polo club is excited to begin its sixth year in the Collegiate Water Polo Association as a club pro-gram. UMass comes into the 2012 season with an almost entirely new starting lineup after placing sixth place in the North Atlantic Divi-sion a year ago. As only two starters return, senior Adam Gajkowski and junior Alex Niemeyer will need to lead a young team comprised of mostly sophomores and juniors with hopes of building the Min-utemen for future years. Although the team may be young and small, they have a great chemistry and dedication to making this one of UMass’s most successful seasons.

University of VermontFollowing a disappointing ninth place fi nish in the North Atlantic Division, the University of Vermont will continue to rebuild its program to rank among the upper echelon of teams in the nation. With hard work and tireless recruiting, Vermont hopes to build up its roster for a National Collegiate Club Championship run in the coming years.

Williams CollegeAfter graduating a talented group of seniors, Williams College is bolstered by strong sophomore and freshman classes ready to help the program take the next step. Captained by senior Sam Rashin and junior Eric Liao, this club is looking forward to a successful season.

NORTHWEST DIVISION

Central Washington UniversityAfter being unable to participate in the Collegiate Water Polo Asso-ciation (CWPA) last season, Central Washington University is ready to be a powerhouse in the Northwest Division. Although outside of league competition in 2011, CWU still managed to recruit new play-ers and build its program. The team is excited to see what they can do and accomplish this year in the division.

Oregon State UniversityOregon State University is coming off a rough championship tour-nament where a 9-7 loss to the University of Washington kept the fourth place Beavers from returning to the Northwest Division title game. The 2010 division runner-up, OSU is once again excited about its prospects for success as the team will host the 2012 National Collegiate Club Championship and is guaranteed the program’s fi rst berth to the National Championship fi eld since capturing the 2003 division title. Several new players join the club from strong high schools in both Oregon and California to bolster the roster, while four of the Beavers’ fi ve All-Conference players return to give head coach Ian Simon some experience in the pool.

Portland State UniversityAmong a select crop of second-year programs in the Collegiate Wa-ter Polo Association (CWPA), Portland State University is excited to improve on its fi fth place fi nish in the Northwest Division from last year.

Seattle UniversityA fi rst-year program, Seattle University will work to consistently im-prove and climb the Northwest Division standings over the next several seasons.

University of OregonA six-time division champion in eight title game appearances, the University of Oregon Ducks were disappointed with last year’s fi nal result at the National Collegiate Club Championship as the team placed 10th. Although the Ducks lost several key seniors, expecta-tions for an Oregon title run are as lofty as ever. Led by Captain Aar-on Bishow and Harrison Tingler, the team’s scoring numbers should not diminish. Jacob Warkov and Mathew Stang key the Ducks on defense as Oregon seeks to again suffocate opponents’ offensive games. Due to the Northwest Division hosting the National Cham-pionship tournament, Oregon hopes to capture a good seed and put on a show for its home state fans. One of the most successful pro-grams on a National level over the past decade, the Ducks are out to prove something with a determined mindset to exceed expectations and fi nally make the top fi ve at Nationals.

University of Washington (Wash.)The University of Washington Huskies enter the season with an optimistic outlook towards the future of the club after making the 2011 Northwest Division title game. A seven-time division champi-on (1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2006, 2009), the Huskies lost some

strong players and administrators to graduation over the past two seasons. To be competitive, Washington will need to fi ll those vacan-cies both in and out of the pool with a group of talented, young and enthusiastic players. Due to a strong recruiting effort, the team has added talent capable of helping the Huskies remain competitive far into the future. In the near term, seniors Joe Laird and Peter Zajac anchor the program in the fi eld. Goalie Christopher Lim will also aid Washington in building off its past successes for another try at the Northwest plaque.

PACIFIC COAST DIVISION

California Polytechnic State UniversitySuccess is not a way of life for the California Polytechnic State University Mustangs, it is a requirement of historic proportions. A fi ve-time National Champion (1999, 2001, 2002, 2004, 2007), the Mustangs toughest competition may be in the Golden State of Cali-fornia as the Pacifi c Coast Division has won a collegiate club record three consecutive and eight overall championships dating back to 1999. Possessing the talent, skill and drive to reclaim what has been missing from San Luis Obispo since 2007 - the National Collegiate Club Championship - Cal Poly is determined to earn another trip to Nationals and return home with its sixth title.

San Diego State UniversitySan Diego State University is coming into the season looking to re-build with new talent and a new coach after an eighth place fi nish in the Pacifi c Coast Division. This year, the team will work to climb the standings and advance to the division championship title game for the fi rst time in program history.

University of California-IrvineThe University of California-Irvine comes into the season with hopes of improvement after a seventh place mark in the Pacifi c Coast Division a year ago. Fielding a solid roster, the Anteaters’ will look to build on their fundamentals in order to improve on the club’s league record. Although the Anteaters have lost numerous starting seniors, the club expects to fi ll in the spots with newcomers and veteran players.

University of California-Los AngelesThe 2009 and 2010 National Champion UCLA Bruins look to re-build in the aftermath of a disappointing third place fi nish in the Pacifi c Coast Division. One of two-teams in the history of men’s collegiate club play to repeat as National Champions, UCLA will de-pend on the leadership of senior captains Bill Farmer and Thomas Cornelius in the fi eld. All-America netminder Mike Scott will be the key to the Bruins’ current National Championship hopes as games in the ultra-competitive Pacifi c Coast Division are often low-scoring affairs. Second-year players Scott Snyder and Ben Hendricks will aid on the offensive end. John Carney and Michael Olson will anchor the Bruins’ defense in front of Scott as UCLA seeks to make its fourth division title game appearance in the past fi ve seasons.

University of California-San DiegoA Pacifi c Coast Division championship contender last season with the potential to make a more signifi cant mark in the coming season, the University of California-San Diego is looking to build on its re-cent success. The Tritons, who fell to eventual National Champion the University of Southern California 9-7 in the 2011 Pacifi c Coast Division title tilt, look forward to a solid freshman class to boost their large number of returning starters. Ranked No. 3 in the fi nal poll of

2011, UCSD will strive to turn its last spot of 2012 into a #1 ranking under the stellar guidance and game play of captains Patrick Rolan and Scott Harvey, who combined for over 100 goals last season. The Tritons also will have the veteran Manning-esque passing skill of Mac Delaney as UC-San Diego’s talent is balanced on both ends of the tank.

University of California-Santa BarbaraThis year the University of California Santa Barbara is working with a new group of players with several returning freshman and sopho-mores. The Gauchos will be looking to new and returning talent to carry it through the season. Previously fi nishing fi fth in the Pa-cifi c Coast Division, UCSB is looking to improve its placement with hard work and roster of athletes primed to tackle the challenge of competing in arguably the nation’s most competitive collegiate club division.

University of San DiegoIn just fi ve years since joining the organization, the University of San Diego has made great strides in league play and the club expects to continue to improve and move up in the Pacifi c Coast Division standings. Change is rampant in San Diego as the team lost goalie JP Gross and offensive set Matt Becker. Due to the two most cru-cial positions in the game up for grabs, the team will need to step up and fi ll the positions. Sophomore Dylan Murphy is anxious to do so as the team’s primary goalie, while utility players Nick Klien, Matt Pim and Will Callas are gearing up to take over at set. On defense, San Diego is rock-solid thanks to the return of two-meter guard Steve Donoghue. Although boasting several veteran players, the team looks forward to the incoming freshmen to add depth for important games.

University of Southern CaliforniaThe defending Pacifi c Coast Division and National Collegiate Club Champions after recording an 8-5 victory against Yale University last year at the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech), the Tro-jans of the University of Southern California begin a quest to repeat their 2011 undefeated season. 2011 Nationals Most Valuable Player Cem Carak highlights a roster that includes 20-players that helped the Trojans claim the program’s fi rst collegiate club championship. Under the tutelage of Will Aggramonte, combined with the depth of its returning talent, the team will have a good shot to do so.

ROCKY MOUNTAIN DIVISION

Arizona State UniversityComing in with a completely new look this year, Arizona State Uni-versity is a team not centered on just one key player. With many new faces and fi ve returning players from the previous team, the Sun Devils will have a deep roster. ASU is looking to repeat as the divi-sion champions for the third straight year after capturing the 2010 Southwest and 2011 Rocky Mountain Division titles. The team has taken fi fth at the National Collegiate Club Championship the past two years, but will work to become the fi rst current Rocky Mountain Division member institution since the University of Arizona in 1996 to earn a spot in the title game. Captained by Kevin Dunn and Travis Addante, with a supporting cast that includes Travis Dunn, Alan Nguyen and Jordan Lunetta, the Sun Devils are looking to take the next step in the development of their collegiate club program. On defense, watch for new goalie Carlos Luabe to make a case for being the Rocky Mountain’s best goalie.

University of Arizona “A”Among the most successful programs in collegiate club water polo over the past 16-years, the University of Arizona holds 11 division championships (Southwest - 1996, 1997, 1999, 2000, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2009) and has appeared in 15 title games (Southwest Runner-Up - 1998, 2001, 2008, 2010) as last year marked the fi rst time since the Wildcats founding that the team did not ap-pear in a championship game. Arizona will aim to erase that blemish in 2012 as the squad welcomes at least 15 new recruits and a new coach in hopes of capturing their fi rst Rocky Mountain Division plaque.

University of Arizona “B”The University of Arizona “B” team will work to fi nish in the top-half of the Rocky Mountain Division.

University of Colorado “A”The University of Colorado is gunning for the fi fth title in program history as the Buffaloes previously won pairs of Rocky Mountain (2008, 2010) and Southwest (1998, 2001) Division crowns. Colo-rado’s 30+ members work tirelessly to achieve numerous goals set forth at the beginning of the season, while still maintaining academic integrity. This season goals include winning the division, achieving a Top 10 national ranking and fueling the passion and development of water polo at the university. The club lost its goalie to gradua-tion, but returns its other starting fi eld players to once again rate as a National Championship contender.

University of Colorado “B”The University of Colorado “B” team will attempt to move up in the division standings after another strong fi nish a year ago.

University of DenverIn the wake of a fi fth place fi nish in the Rocky Mountain Division last season, the University of Denver will rebuild as it lost 10 players to graduation and studying abroad. Only two starters return from the 2011 Pioneers. However, Denver is looking to gather a strong group of freshmen and new players to begin the process of build-ing a squad capable of competing against the division’s perennial powers.

University of New MexicoThe University of New Mexico is no longer a small, novice team. The Lobos are looking to prove to the Rocky Mountain Division that good water polo can evolve from any group that has committed members, strong leaders and a drive to excel. Look to New Mexico for a strong 2012 season and a solid foundation for years to come.

University of UtahA six-time division runner-up (Rocky Mountain - 2008, 2010, 2011/Southwest - 2003, 2004, 2005) and two-time champion (Rocky Mountain - 2007, 2009), the University of Utah would like to con-tinue the tradition of success established by the prior Utes. Key to Utah’s current and future title hopes will be the squad’s ability to stop their opponents’ on the defensive end of the pool.

University of WyomingThe University of Wyoming returns this season after showing ma-jor growth in competing at the level necessary to earn a spot into the National Collegiate Club Championship tournament. The team shows promise this year with All-Conference players Dan Sabirzya-nov and William Ratz returning for another try at the division title.

32

As experience among the team’s roster grows, so does the leader-ship of players like seniors Alex Robinson, Chris Chamberlin and Brett Kahler, which will help improve their competitiveness.

SIERRA PACIFIC DIVISION

California State University-ChicoLast year’s heartbreaking 7-6 loss in the Sierra Pacifi c Division Cham-pionship game has fueled the California State University-Chico for another chance at the division title and automatic berth to the Na-tional Collegiate Club Championship tournament. “It was defi nitely a rough loss,” says coach Clifford Kunkel, “the kind of loss that you can only learn from...We have always loved playing Santa Cruz, but you better believe we are coming for them.” Seniors Cole Payan, Mike Craw and Kallie Wikman lead the team in and out of the pool along with lefty Ricky Niese and goalie Tyler Rettig. The addition of new talent, including a variety of exciting freshmen and a promising group of transfer students, will assist Chico in producing a strong program that will be a force to be reckoned with in the division.

California State University-Maritime AcademyCalifornia State University-Maritime Academy will once again take to the water as part of the Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) for a shot at glory and to improve on last year’s seventh place in the Sierra Pacifi c Division.

Saint Mary’s College (Calif.)Saint Mary’s College comes into this year with high hopes for strong league play. Boasting six returning starters, including goalie and co-captain Ian Parelius, and a strong freshman class of six teammates and three high impact transfer students, the Gaels will be improved over the 2011 team. Strong leadership is provided by co-captains Parelius and utility player Chris McMonagle as the pair of veteran players have taken St. Mary’s on a new trajectory. A newly found commitment to the team has translated into an energetic atmo-sphere of camaraderie, hard work, dedication and teamwork. The Gaels hope this season will be marked with unprecedented success and mark the start of an ever expanding water polo program as the construction of a new competition water polo facility/pool begins this fall.

San Jose State UniversitySan Jose State University’s success will depend upon the strengths of its underclassmen to begin the process of climbing the standings for an eventual shot at the Sierra Pacifi c Division title.

Stanford UniversityEntering the program’s sixth season as a part of the collegiate club ranks, Stanford University is a young and upcoming program consist-ing of both undergraduate and graduate level students. Established to grant those student-athletes that cannot play varsity water polo the opportunity to play organized and competitive games against local institutions and national powers, the Cardinal club promotes good health and physical fi tness while fostering team camaraderie and school spirit. After hiring a new coach following an eighth place fi nish in the 2011 Sierra Pacifi c Division title hunt, Stanford hopes to recruit new players and fi nish in the top three within the division.

University of California-BerkeleyThe University of California-Berkeley comes back this year looking strong with 13 players returning from last season’s fourth place fi n-ish in the Sierra Pacifi c Division. The 2011 regular season champion, the Golden Bears are excited to get at it again with starters Noah Or-loff, Christian Clark and goalie Jeneya Fertel among those returning for another shot at earning the program’s fi rst berth to the National Collegiate Club Championship. The absence of former team captain and dominant post-player Spencer White will cause some issues, but Cal is changing its offense to a more multifaceted system that will include returning secondary and utility players along with a strong driving emphasis.

University of California-DavisThe University of California-Davis returns a roster full of talent and experience that will work to put the effort necessary to eliminate the memory of the Aggies 11-10 defeat in the 2011 Sierra Pacifi c Division semifi nals to California State University-Chico. Plagued as always by a school year that starts late in the season, the team is ex-cited about getting back into the pool and playing catch up with its competition. Although many players have been lost to graduation or a focus on academics, this diverse group will come into the season ready to work for a league title. University of California-Santa CruzThe University of California-Santa Cruz is returning from a strong 2011 season in which the Banana Slugs upset the University of Cali-fornia and California State University-Chico to take the Sierra Pa-cifi c Division title and earn place eighth at the National Collegiate Club Championship hosted by the Georgia Institute of Technology

(Georgia Tech). After becoming a sports club in 2008, UCSC has remained resilient in competition, winning a Division III National title in 2010. Graduating only four seniors, the current 10 Santa Cruz seniors make their last stand for glory with a healthy stock of young players ready to supply a solid foundation for the Slugs’ future title runs. Two-meter standout and captain Kyle Smith, who made the 2011 All-Tournament team at Georgia Tech, and seniors Gunther Gettelfi nger (two-meters) and Blair MacDougall (goalie) will act as scoring and defensive catalysts. Seniors Dustin Johnson (utility) and Jacob Mitchell (utility), junior Ethan Pascual (utility) and sophomore Sean Shughrou (utility) will be counted on to step up their games and help their teammates contend for another Sierra Pacifi c title.

SOUTHEAST DIVISION

Auburn UniversityFollowing a few years of rebuilding, Auburn University is looking forward to the upcoming season after fi nishing fi fth at the 2011 Southeast Division Championship tournament.

Clemson UniversityClemson University comes into the season with eyes on rebuild-ing a strong presence in the league. Although the Tigers graduated four key seniors, they are excited to have a returning core to guide a signifi cant freshman class. Among the returning athletes is graduate student Gunit Bedi; seniors Philip Chesney, Connie Previti, Michael Reitz, and Tyler Leaphart; juniors Megan Doherty, Steven Ireton and Ryan Beliles; and sophomores Brian Peterson, Xander Huynh, and Eric McGuirk. Although they might miss the fi sh they prac-ticed with last year, they won’t miss the murky wavy waters of Lake Hartwell.

Emory UniversityIn its third year back in the league, Emory University seeks to ex-ceed last year’s second place fi nish in the division. The Eagles, who earned a spot at the National Collegiate Club Championship due to Southeast Division champion the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) hosting the event, fi nished in a tie for 15th at Na-tionals in the program’s fi rst appearance against the Collegiate Water Polo Association division champions.

Georgia Institute of TechnologyThe defending Southeast Division champion, the Yellow Jackets of the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) return all of their starters. Leading the way are senior leaders Steven Winton, Steve Larson, Patrick Slane, Nicholas Thompson and Freddy Da-men. In addition to the seniors, strong corps of juniors, sophomores and freshmen will have a signifi cant impact on the team’s title hopes. Goalies Neal Laxpati and Michael O’Rourke both have three-years of experience in the division and are poised for another strong run. The addition of coach Benny Twynham only adds to Georgia Tech’s potential for repeating as the Southeast Division’s best squad. University of GeorgiaThe University of Georgia holds the upcoming 2012 season in high regards. With the motto “Finish”; the team is ready to reclaim a divi-sion championship which some of the team’s members got a taste of two years ago. The starting six players are not afraid to take a shot from the outside, which will hopefully lead to a strong offensive team. Senior Drew Duckett will hold down the cage on the defensive end as one of the strongest goalies in the division. Strength off the bench will play an important role in the team’s record this year as a group of new players join the team. Leading the ranks is freshman Kevin Hughes, who is taking the initiative to lead his teammates to victory, along side of returning Bulldogs’ Phong Nguyen, Wilson Couture, Chris Mauer, Alex Lembeck and senior Graham Kellams.

University of TennesseeThe University of Tennessee could be the surprise of the division as the Volunteers are a young and maturing team that has the potential to shock the division. Every key player from last year’s team returns for the Vols, while some new blood will help revamp the squad for the future.

Vanderbilt UniversityVanderbilt University’s continues to seek its fi rst Southeast Division title in their four-year history in the league. Following a trio of top three fi nishes in the Southeast Division, the squad will rely on its experience, superior depth and defensive play to capture the division championship. Returning 2010 All-Conference Second Team selec-tion and team captain Chris Watkins, 2011 All-Conference Second Team selection Mitch Boynton and seniors Patra Katsigiannis and Katie Kahlbaugh will lead the team. Juniors Luke Walker and Rich-ard Droghini aim to continue their signifi cant contributions on both sides of the pool, while sophomores Scott Feder, Matthew Vallien-court, Kelsey Karas, Kyle Deland and Emma Kelly add depth and youthful exuberance.

TEXAS DIVISION

Baylor UniversityBaylor University returns the core of its 2011 team and looks to build on its past experiences to contend for the title. Replacing two-time All-Texas goalie Brian Sanders will be a priority, but sophomore Richard Hansen appears ready to fi ll the void. Senior Will Havens and junior Luke Harle will likely carry the load on offense. However, look for key contributions from a talented group of incoming fresh-men.

Louisiana State UniversityThe fi rst team from the state of Louisiana in the Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) in several years, Louisiana State University em-barks on its inaugural year in the league and third as an organization

at LSU. Returning starters include Ricky Carnicle, Anthony Cane, Chad Lowe, Peter Bernzen, Tony Frey and Joesph Bergmeister. In its fi rst two active years, the club has enjoyed competing in invita-tionals around the South and is excited to be playing in the confer-ence with a championship on the line. The team has a coaching staff consisting of accomplished former players from Southern Il-linois University, The United States Naval Academy, University of California and is welcoming a fourth coach from the University of Richmond. The sport has become more widely recognized in Baton Rouge, thus successful recruitment has allowed the team to main-tain an impressive roster. The success of this team having grown strongly in a part of the country where water polo is rare makes this team very notable.

Rice UniversityRice University begins the season with an optimistic outlook. After improving over the past few seasons, the Owls are looking to break into the top half of the Texas Division. Last year, Rice placed fi fth out of eight teams. The team looks to be balanced this year, with veteran leaders Ivan Huang, Brynnan Webster, Peter Abraham and Paul Abraham leading the Owls. Sophomores Kevin Gravesmill, Brett Virgin-Downey, Ravi Shah and Ross Pepper look to improve and carry the team in future years. Defensively, Rice will rely on its goalie, Tom Gerken to keep the Owls on track to rank among the division’s best programs.

Texas A&M UniversityTexas A&M University hopes to continue its recent success as the Aggies won the Texas Division in back-to-back seasons (2007, 2008) and qualifi ed for four straight division title games (2007, 2008, 2009, 2010). However, the Aggies come into the 2012 season on a rebuild-ing mission under new coach Chris Budvitis. Following the loss of numerous seniors two years ago, Texas A&M continues to revitalize its roster and administration as a new president and several new faces join the Aggies.

Texas State UniversityAmong a group of programs that are growing into their potential as future National Collegiate Club Championship contenders, Texas State University will need to overcome four-time division champion Texas A&M University, seven-time winner the University of Texas and reigning champion Texas Tech University to brand its mark on the Texas Division landscape.

Texas Tech UniversityTexas Tech University begins the new season with a fresh look, as many of the starting seven from 2011 graduated, including Taylor Whipple, John Cogliandro and Johjanes Griffi th. With several other players not returning such as Jake Hines, Damien Hines and Jake Bundy, the Red Raiders will need to rebuild the majority of its roster. The team may not be the same, but the goal is, as Texas Tech strives to remain champions of the Texas Division after the school’s fi rst title in 2012.

University of HoustonThe University of Houston enters the season with high hopes of im-proving on the program’s third-place fi nish at the 2011 Texas Divi-sion Championship and challenging for an opportunity to represent the Texas Division at the National Collegiate Club Championship in Oregon. The Cougars return four former All-Conference selections and several key contributors. In addition, the team’s incoming fresh-men will add depth to Houston’s roster.

University of TexasThe 2003-06, 2009 and 2010 Texas Division champion, the Long-horns of the University of Texas begin the 2011 season after fi n-ishing in second place at last year’s Texas championship. Fielding a large team that features both veteran and newcomers ready to take command of the competitive division, the Longhorns return several players that could individually shift the balance of power in the divi-sion. 2011 Most Valuable Player and All-America Third Team selec-tion Ricardo Bello should help make the 2012 edition of the pro-gram one of the strongest teams in the history of Texas Water Polo. Led by captains Kieran Kapila and Jonathan Berezin, the team will put forth its top players with a strong mindset of competition and skill. Many players have been playing together for over four years with excellent coordination and teamwork. Expect UT players to be in the hunt again for a division title.
