Wahine water polo wins Big West championship
The University of Hawai'i women's water polo team added another trophy to its collection, capturing the Big West Tournament championship with an 8-6 victory over Long Beach State on Sunday in Irvine, California.
Goalkeeper Daisy Logtens anchored the Rainbow Wahine defense, recording 14 saves on her way to earning tournament Most Valuable Player honors. Under first-year head coach James Robinson, UH claimed back-to-back Big West Tournament titles for the first time in program history and secured an automatic bid into the NCAA Tournament.
'I don't really know what to say, but it just feels really, really special,' Logtens said. 'We set goals for ourselves every season and we're trying to get the best out of it. We know we're capable of doing good things.'
Robinson credited the team's ability to execute in critical moments.
'No one's going to give it to you,' Robinson said. 'We've had success the past couple of years, so people come for us, and we want that. It's about our ability to execute and make important stops. Our seniors, juniors, and even our younger athletes stepped up and did a great job of carrying the load this season.'
The Rainbow Wahine, now 21-4, will learn their postseason path during Monday's NCAA Selection Show, set for 2 p.m. HST and streaming on
The NCAA Championships are scheduled for May 9-11 in Indianapolis.
