Monmouth College (Ill.) announced Tuesday that it will discontinue its men\u2019s and women\u2019s water polo programs at the end of the 2020-21 season.<\/p>\n

Both programs were started in the last decade, with the men in 2012 and women in 2013. In a university statement<\/a>, athletic director Roger Haynes<\/strong> cited, \u201ca decrease over the last several years of the number of Midwest high school students who participate in the sport was a major factor in deciding to end the sport on the varsity level.\u201d<\/p>\n

That drop has trended with a reduction in college programs in the Midwest, particularly at Division III. The statement references just 20 programs in Division III women\u2019s water polo and 15 men\u2019s, with Monmouth one of only two that isn\u2019t among the East or West Coast power centers.<\/p>\n

In a 2018 interview with Swimming World,<\/a> Fighting Scots head coach Peter Ollis<\/strong> alluded to those challenges:<\/p>\n

In our conference, there\u2019s three Division III teams and four Division IIs and we play in the Mid-Atlantic West \u2014 McKendree, Salem, Gannon, Mercyhurst, Connecticut, Washington and Jefferson. Those are the seven team on our side of the conference. So, it\u2019s DII and DIII amalgamation. We used to have La Salle, so we had DI, DII and DIII.<\/em><\/p>\n

As a local team, we\u2019re able to play them for our senior game at home on a Tuesday. It\u2019s tough for our guys; you want to play a game on Saturday or Sunday, but you don\u2019t want to drive somewhere for eight hours. We\u2019ll go to Lebanon in two weekends and it\u2019s a three-hour drive, which for us \u2014 we love that. We can do it the day of, making it a lot easier.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Monmouth will continue to sponsor 22 varsity teams, including men\u2019s and women\u2019s swimming.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
