HONOLULU -- The USC Women of Troy beat the Australian Junior Women, 7-2 to win the Aloha Classic Water Polo Invitational. Earlier in the day Australia added wins over Cal (10-2) and Hawaii (9-2), to their 3 wins over Cal, New Zealand, and Canada the day before. USC posted huge wins over New Zealand (10-2) and Canada (11-2). Up until their match this evening, both teams remained unbeaten throughout the tournament.

All three matches are exhibition matches and do not count against USC's overall record.
