BRIDGEPORT, Pa. — The Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) releases the 2021 Men’s Collegiate Club Sierra Pacific Division schedule.
Comprised of California State University-Chico, California State Maritime Academy (Cal Maritime), San Jose State University, Stanford University, the University of California, the University of California-Davis, the University of California-Merced and the University of California-Santa Cruz, the Sierra Pacific Division will contest its 10th season in the CWPA with UC-Santa Cruz (2011), California (2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018) and Cal Maritime (2019) combining to claim all nine previous championship titles. The 2020 season was not contested due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The division’s competitive format is a single round-robin over the course of two regional weekends and a championship where all teams attend. Seeding for championship is determined by the regular season standings.
Action commences on Saturday-Sunday, October 2-3, at Cal Maritime in Vallejo, Calif., as the teams clash in 16 games. The regular season comes to a close on Saturday-Sunday, October 23-24, at UC-Merced in Merced, Calif., as the squads square-off in another 16-game weekend to establish the final seeds for the division championship.
The results from the pair of regular season tournaments establish the seeds for the 12-game Sierra Pacific Division Championship penciled in for Saturday-Sunday, October 30-31, back at Cal Maritime.
The victor of the division championship earns an automatic berth to the 2021 Men’s National Collegiate Club Championship slated to be hosted by the University of Alabama at the Huntsville Aquatic Center in Huntsville, Ala., on Friday-Sunday, November 12-14.
