CWPA Releases 2009 Men's Pacific Coast Club Division Schedule

BRIDGEPORT, Pa. -- The Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) has released the 2009 Men's Pacific Coast Club Division schedule for University of California-Berkeley, University of California-Davis, University of California-Davis "B", University of California-Santa Cruz, California State University-Maritime Academy, California State University-Chico, Fresno State University, San Jose State University, St. Mary's College (Calif.), Stanford University, California Polytechnic State University, University of California-Irvine, University of California-Los Angeles, University of California-San Diego, University of California-Santa Barbara, San Diego State University and University of San Diego.

Due to the size and complexity of the division, the Pacific Coast is divided into two regions - North and South.

In the 10-team Northern Division, UC-Berekely, UC-Davis, UC-Davis "B", UC-Santa Cruz, CSU-Maritime Academy, CSU-Chico, Fresno State, San Jose State, St. Mary's and Stanford will open play on October 3-4 at UC-Santa Cruz before continuing the regular season at Santa Cruz on October 10-11. The pair of Santa Cruz events will serve as the determining factor in seeding the Northern Region Championship on October 24-25 at UC-Davis.

The seven team Southern Division, which features Cal Poly, UC-Irvine, UCLA, UC-San Diego, UC-Santa Barbara, San Diego State and San Diego, will begin the season on October 3-4 at UCLA before competing at UC-Santa Barbara on October 17-18 as the two events will seed the Southern Region Championship on October 24-25 at San Diego State.

The regional championships will decide the teams which advance to the Pacific Coast Division Championship on October 31-November 1 at Cal Poly State University. The division championship will match the top four finishers in the North against the Southern Region's top four programs to determine the division champion and automatic qualifier for the National Collegiate Club Championship set for the University of Florida on November 13-15.

In the history of the division, Cal Poly has dominated play winning the past three titles and nine of the crowns since 1998. Overall, the 1998, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2006, 2007 and 2008 champion Mustangs could face a stiff challenge from any of the other division programs, including UCLA and UC-Davis as the Bruins won the 2005 title and made last year's title game, while the Aggies advanced to the 2006 and 2007 title tilts.
