No. 5 USC Women’s Water Polo Falls In Honolulu With 9-8 Loss At No. 4 Hawai'i
March 16, 2024 | Women's Water Polo
Trojans take a second loss to the Rainbow Wahine this season.
LOS ANGELES — The No. 5 USC women's water polo team took a tough road loss in Honolulu with a 9-8 defeat to No. 4 Hawai'i tonight. The Trojans tried to reel in the Rainbow Wahine in the second half, but came up short of a comeback push to go to 13-4 overall on the year.
USC and Hawai'i were in a tug-of-war in Honolulu, as the Trojans edged ahead 3-2 in the second period on a 6-on-5 finish from Julia Janov. That was the only lead the Trojans would hold, however. The Rainbow Wahine moved ahead 4-3 at halftime, although USC would tie it up twice in the third on a second blast from Janov and then after goals from Rachel Gazzaniga and Morgan Netherton. The 6-6 lockup would be broken by the host with 19 seconds left in the third, and Hawai'i would stay out ahead the rest of the way. Ava Stryker and Gazzaniga scored later in the fourth to make it a one-goal game, but USC would get no closer to its hosts, as Hawai'i held on to win it 9-8.
