STANFORD, Calif. - The No. 5 University of Hawai`i women's water polo team dropped a Mountain Pacific Sports Federation match Saturday to No. 1 Stanford, 10-8 at the Avery Aquatic Center. UH is now 14-7, 3-3 MPSF.

The Rainbow Wahine kept it close in the first half, trailing by just one goal (4-3) at halftime. In the third quarter, UH matched the Cardinal 2-2, but continued to trail in the final period and couldn't pull ahead in the end.
