2019 Men’s Collegiate Club Atlantic Division Schedule
BRIDGEPORT, Pa. — The Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) releases the 2019 Men’s Collegiate Club Atlantic Division schedule.
Comprised of Georgetown University, James Madison University, North Carolina State University, the United States Naval Academy, the University of Maryland, the University of North Carolina, the University of Virginia, Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University (Virginia Tech) and Wake Forest University, the Atlantic Division will contest its 20th season of competition with the University of Richmond (2000), Georgetown (2001, 2002, 2005), Virginia (2003), North Carolina (2004, 2010, 2011, 2012), Virginia Tech (2006, 2007, 2009, 2017), Duke (2008, 2014, 2016), Maryland (2013, 2015) and Navy (2018) previously claiming titles.
Competition begins on Saturday-Sunday, September 21-22, as North Carolina State hosts 13 games at Carmichael Gymnasium in Raleigh, N.C. Following a 10-game event at James Madison’s UREC Pool in Harrisonburg, Va., on Saturday-Sunday, September 28-29, Maryland’s Eppley Recreation Center in College Park, Md., will be the site of a 12-game tournament on Saturday-Sunday, October 5-6 to conclude the regular season.
Due to Wake Forest opting to attend only one regional weekend and the championship based on roster and date constraints, several teams will compete against an opponent twice during the regular season while not playing another team. In light of this situation, seeding for the 15-game Atlantic Division Championship on Saturday-Sunday, October 26-27, at Navy’s McDonough Hall in Annapolis, Md., will occur based on win/loss percentage from the regular season.
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.
