BRIDGEPORT, Pa. — The Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) releases the 2023 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-Chapel Hill, the University of Virginia and Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University (Virginia Tech), the Atlantic Division will contest its 23rd season of competition with the University of Richmond (2000), Georgetown (2001, 2002, 2005), Virginia (2003, 2021, 2022), North Carolina-Chapel Hill (2004, 2010, 2011, 2012), Virginia Tech (2006, 2007, 2009, 2017), Duke University (2008, 2014, 2016), Maryland (2013, 2015) and Navy (2018, 2019) previously claiming titles. The 2020 season was not contested due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Competition begins on Saturday-Sunday, October 7-8 at James Madison in Harrisonburg, Va., with 16 games. The regular season concludes on Saturday-Sunday, October 21-22 as Maryland hosts another 16 game event in College Park, Md.
The postseason is in flux as of Friday, September 8, as a 12-game Atlantic Division Championship is established for Saturday-Sunday, October 28-29, at NC State in Raleigh, N.C. However, the championship could become a combined Atlantic/Mid-Atlantic “A” Championship with a separate Atlantic/Mid-Atlantic “B” Championship penciled in during another weekend depending on both pool and team availability.
In either championship format (Atlantic/Mid-Atlantic “A”, Atlantic), the Atlantic Division champion receives the division’s spot in the 2023 Men’s National Collegiate Club Championship set for Friday-Sunday, November 10-12, at a site to be determined.
