In \"Swimmingwhat may appear to be a long time coming, Swimming World\u2019s<\/em> previews of the six conferences that will send teams to the 2020 NCAA Women\u2019s Water Polo Tournament in early May are now live. Following are links to our 2020 conference previews. Winners are predicted by the various preseason polls voted on by each conference\u2019s coaches.<\/p>\n

The Big West<\/a>: UC Irvine<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Collegiate Water Polo Association<\/a>: Michigan<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Golden Coast Conference<\/a>: Pacific<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference<\/a>: Wagner College<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Mountain Pacific Sports Federation<\/a>: University of Southern California<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Western Water Polo Association<\/a>: Cal State East Bay<\/strong><\/p>\n

Wait; are there only SIX conference previews? As they say in the Midwest: You betcha!<\/p>\n

As was the case with the 2019 men\u2019s season<\/a>, the Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SCIAC) will not participate in this year’s women’s national championship tournament, to be held May 8-10 at the University of the Pacific.<\/p>\n

The SCIAC has forfeited its berth in the major tournament for a decisive role in the new championship, the 2020 Division III Collegiate Water Polo National Championship.<\/p>\n

[USA Water Polo Division III National Championship Set to Begin in 2019-20<\/em><\/a>]<\/p>\n

This new format, which will be a Final Four model like the NCAA men\u2019s tournament that prevailed from 1995 until it was expanded to six teams in 2013 and is now eight. It will include the winner and runner-up from the SCIAC championship\u2014to be held May 1-3\u2014and the winner and runner up from the 2020 CWPA Division III Championships, which will take place at Carthage College in Kenosha, Wisc., on April 17-19.<\/p>\n

As with the men\u2019s bracket last year, this means an imbalance in the NCAA format; only nine teams will qualify for this year\u2019s national tournament, and one of the play-in matches will be eliminated.<\/p>\n

The reason for the delayed roll out of conference previews\u2014in 2019 all previews were completed by the end of January\u2014is two-fold. One is a slightly different format which was put forth by Bill Cohn<\/strong>, who covers the West Coast polo scene for Swimming World<\/em> and contributed previews on the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation and the Big West conference.<\/p>\n

The other is timing; as in years past there have been multiple start dates for women\u2019s play. The first major West Coast tournament of the season was held at UC Santa Barbara on January 17-19; the first big tournament on the East Coast was January 31 – February 2 at Brown.<\/p>\n

Another consideration for 2020; in an Olympic year, there have been a number of roster changes as a result of American and foreign-born players red-shirting this season to prepare for Olympic competition.<\/p>\n

And there\u2019s still more to come. Play among teams in the Collegiate Water Polo Association\u2019s DIII<\/a> conference\u2014which comprises ten teams in separate East and West brackets\u2014will not fully get underway until next weekend. This group has no connection to the NCAA tournament, but is crucial due to the inclusion of two CWPA DIII teams in the national DIII tournament, to be held from May 8-9 at the winner of the SCIAC championship.<\/p>\n

For good measure, we\u2019ve also previewed the SCIAC<\/a>, which represents some of the country\u2019s best DIII teams. The conference winner\u2014Cal Lutheran<\/strong>\u2014was also picked by conference\u2019s water polo coaches.<\/p>\n
