In addition, the College has no plan, at this time, to create a DIII water polo program. The Board has determined that the opportunities for DIII water polo competition in New York State are too limited for the College to support this program. The College will continue its long-standing effort to assure other athletic opportunities for women who enroll at Hartwick.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In a controversial move, Hartwick is downgrading its DI men&#8217;s soccer program but is not offering women&#8217;s water polo the same option. There are a number of DIII programs that are reasonably close to Hartwick\u2019s upstate New York location, most notably Utica College, located 60 miles from Oneonta.<\/p>\n<p>Other relatively close DIII programs include: Connecticut College in New London; Gannon, Mercyhurst, Penn State Behrend and Washington &amp; Jefferson near Erie, PA. National programs at California Lutheran, Macalester<em>, <\/em>Pomona-Pitzer and Whittier travel annually to the East Coast for tournaments.<\/p>\n<p>Despite a drumbeat of disheartening news, Hartwick\u2019s team soldiers on. Not only have the Hawks won 25 games on the season thus far\u2014with only seven losses, all to teams ranked in the latest Collegiate Water Polo Association\u2019s top 25\u2014head coach Alan Huckin\u2019s team is currently <a href=\"https:\/\/collegiatewaterpolo.org\/polls\/2018-womens-polls-week-12-april-4\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ranked<\/a> #12 in the country, second only to Michigan among Eastern squads.<\/p>\n<p>This weekend Hartwick will face CWPA rivals Bucknell, George Washington, Harvard and Princeton in Cambridge, MA before a regular season-ending match on Saturday, April 14 at Michigan. Whether or not the Hawks qualify for their fourth NCAA berth in the past 15 years will be decided at the CWPA Championships, to be held at Bucknell on April 27 and 28.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Michael Randazzo, Swimming World Contributor Yesterday Francis D.
