Home contests for the No. 6 University of Hawai‘i water polo team have been few and far between in 2026. The Rainbow Wahine entered the season with six home matches on their schedule and close out their home slate this week.
On Thursday, the Rainbow Wahine will host the Australian national team for an exhibition, set for 6 p.m. at the Duke Kahanamoku Aquatic Complex on UH-Mānoa's campus. Then on Friday, the 'Bows will host Cal State Fullerton at 5 p.m. for a senior night contest.
Following Saturday's game, the 'Bows (12-5, 5-0 Big West) will head to Long Beach, Calif. for the Big West Conference tournament, which runs from April 10-12. UH is currently positioned to make the NCAA Tournament, which takes place in La Jolla, Calif., from April 24-26. The Rainbow Wahine previously had a March 20 contest against CSUN postponed due to inclement weather on O‘ahu, which the Big West may reschedule in the coming days.
