Harvard University to Host 2009 Women's Eastern Championship

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. -- The Collegiate Water Polo Association championship will be decided for the second year in Beantown as Harvard University will host the 2009 Women's Eastern Championship on April 24-26 at the university's Blodgett Pool.

The site of the 2002 and 2007 Men's Eastern Championship, the championship marks the second time in 10 years that the Crimson will host the women's Eastern Championship at Blodgett following the 2003 tournament.

Boasting permanent spectator seating for 1,200, Blodgett Pool has hosted several men's and women's Ivy and Eastern Championships, and was the site of the 57th annual NCAA Swimming and Diving Championships in 1980.

Hotel accomodations and Hall of Fame banquet information will be posted in the coming months once tentative plans are finalized.
