2019 Men’s Collegiate Club Pacific Coast Division Schedule
BRIDGEPORT, Pa. — The Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) releases changes to the 2019 Men’s Collegiate Club Pacific Coast Division schedule.
Comprised of California Polytechnic State University “A”, California Polytechnic State University “B”, California State University-Long Beach, the University of California-Los Angeles, the University of California-Santa Barbara “A”, the University of California-Santa Barbara “B” and the University of Southern California, the Pacific Coast Division will contest its 22nd season as part of the league with Cal Poly (1998, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2018), California Baptist University (1999), UCLA (2005, 2009, 2010, 2012, 2013), USC (2011, 2017), San Diego State University (2014) and Long Beach State (2015, 2016) previously claiming titles.
The division’s competitive format includes two regional weekends and a championship where all teams attend. Each team plays every opponent once and two additional regular season games are selected randomly (with the exception that A and B teams from the same institution only play once).
Competition begins with 15 games on Saturday-Sunday, October 5-6, at UC-Santa Barbara’s Campus Pool in Santa Barbara, Calif.
The change in the schedule occurs on the regular season concluding weekend of Saturday-Sunday, October 12-13, as Cal Poly is now unable to host the 14-game tournament at Anderson Pool in San Luis Obispo, Calif.
Due to Cal Poly’s inability to host, UCLA assumes hosting duties for the weekend. However, game times are still tentative with an expectation of confirmation on the order and timing of the games coming by the end of the week.
The Pacific Coast Division Championship will be decided with 11 games at USC’s Uytengsu Aquatics Center in Los Angeles, Calif., on Saturday-Sunday, October 26-27.
The victor of the division championship earns an automatic berth to the 2019 Men’s National Collegiate Club Championship slated to be hosted by the University of Pittsburgh in Pittsburgh, Pa., on Friday-Sunday, November 15-17.
