Hawaii Water Polo claims Big West Championship over Long Beach State, 9-5
HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) – The queens of the pool.
The Rainbow wahine captured their fifth Big West Championship Sunday over Long Beach State.
The top-seeded ‘Bows downed the Beach, 9-5 in Davis, California.
After making it to the Finale the last two seasons, it was finally Hawaii’s turn to take the Championship plunge.
It was a big day for UH’s Bernadette Doyle who gave the bows a boost on both ends of the pool with four goals and four steals. Collectively, the team held LBSU to just one goal in the second half to hoist the trophy.
The win also gives them the automatic bid into the NCAA tournament.
The squad will learn who they will face when the nine-team bracket is revealed on Monday.
