Hawaiʻi’s men edged Grand Canyon, 146.5–138.5, by winning the meet-ending 200-yard freestyle relay, while the Rainbow Wahine fell 151.5–133.5. Hawaiʻi divers also posted multiple NCAA-qualifying scores, and both teams head to Dallas for the SMU Invite in November.

By the Numbers

  • Women: Grand Canyon 151.5, Hawaiʻi 133.5.

Yes, But

Hawaiʻi’s women produced strong individual and relay performances, but Grand Canyon’s depth in the breaststroke and medley events proved decisive. The men’s result, by contrast, came down to the final relay.

State of Play
  • Both dual meets were close, with Hawaiʻi winning the men’s contest and Grand Canyon taking the women’s.
  • Several Rainbow Warrior and Rainbow Wahine divers reached NCAA qualifying marks.
  • Hawaiʻi’s next competition is the SMU Invite in Dallas.
What's Next

The Rainbow Warriors and Rainbow Wahine compete at the SMU Invite, Nov. 18–22, at the Robson & Lindley Aquatics Center.

Bottom Line

Hawaiʻi’s men delivered under pressure in the final event, while the women’s close loss exposed the impact of event-by-event depth. NCAA-qualifying performances give both teams momentum heading into the November invite.
