Swimming World has published conference previews of the seven conferences that will send teams to the 2018 NCAA Women\u2019s Water Polo Tournament.<\/p>\n<p>This is no small task. There are approximately 60 varsity women\u2019s programs in the U.S., and we previewed 53 of them. In case you missed it (or would like a nice compilation of all our previews) here they are, with our predicted winners (be sure to check back in May and see how we did):<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/2018-womens-water-polo-preview-the-big-west-conference\/\" target=\"_blank\">Big West Water Polo Conference<\/a>\u2014<strong>Hawai\u2019i<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/2018-womens-water-polo-preview-the-collegiate-water-polo-association\/\" target=\"_blank\">Collegiate Water Polo Association<\/a>\u2014<strong>Michigan<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/2018-womens-water-polo-preview-golden-coast-conference\/\" target=\"_blank\">Golden Coast Conference<\/a>\u2014<strong>Pacific<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/2018-womens-water-polo-preview-metro-atlantic-athletic-conference\/\" target=\"_blank\">Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference<\/a>\u2014<strong>Wagner<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/2018-womens-water-polo-preview-mountain-pacific-sports-federation\/\" target=\"_blank\">Mountain Pacific Sports Federation<\/a>\u2014<strong>Stanford<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/2018-womens-water-polo-preview-southern-california-intercollegiate-athletic-conference\/?preview_id=294624&amp;preview_nonce=ac68ffd8fe&amp;preview=true\" target=\"_blank\">Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference<\/a>\u2014<strong>Pomona-Pitzer<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/2018-womens-water-polo-preview-western-water-polo-association\/\" target=\"_blank\">Western Water Polo Association<\/a>\u2014<strong>UC San Diego<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A couple of observations, both from the review process and all the action happening so far in the 2018 season (and there&#8217;s been a lot).<\/p>\n<p><strong>McKendree<\/strong> is a relatively <a href=\"http:\/\/mckbearcats.com\/news\/2018\/1\/23\/mckendree-womens-water-polo-opens-the-season-at-home.aspx?path=wwpolo\" target=\"_blank\">new program <\/a>launching in 2018, and it\u2019s exciting to see how the Bearcats will do in the 2018 Western Water Polo Association. The WWPA may be the most intriguing conference in women\u2019s polo, as Commissioner <strong>Steve Doten<\/strong> looks to mesh two entirely different water polo cultures.<\/p>\n<p>Another great story is the construction of a new pool at <strong>Occidental<\/strong>. The Bears will have to wait until next year for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oxy.edu\/new-pool-tennis-oxy\/stats-figures\">Townsend Crosthwaite Pool<\/a> to be finished; if all goes according to plans, this new facility will be worth the wait.<\/p>\n<p>The Anteaters of <strong>UC Irvine<\/strong> have a number of obstacles towards repeating as Big West champs. One\u2014which caught <em>Swimming World<\/em> by surprise\u2014is that <a href=\"https:\/\/ucirvinesports.com\/news\/2018\/1\/26\/womens-water-polo-five-things-to-know-mary-brooks.aspx\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Mary Brooks,<\/strong><\/a> the Big West Player of the Year in 2016 and 2017, decided to red-shirt this season. Not only does this make UC Irvine\u2019s chances that much less likely, <strong>Hawai\u2019i<\/strong> is looking VERY strong early in the year.<\/p>\n<p>Last weekend the Rainbow Wahine went to Tempe, AZ and beat the host <strong>Sun Devils<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/hawaiiathletics.com\/news\/2018\/2\/3\/no-6-water-polo-opening-day-at-ASU-cross-conference-challenge-2018.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">10-9 <\/a>in the ASU Cross Conference Challenge. There\u2019s no question that Hawai\u2019i will be hard to beat this year, and losing their best player doesn\u2019t bode well for the Anteaters.<\/p>\n<p>In another big early season match-up, #2 <strong>Cal<\/strong> faced #1 <strong>Stanford<\/strong> in the Stanford Invitational, and the Golden Bears <a href=\"http:\/\/gostanford.com\/news\/2018\/2\/4\/womens-water-polo-master-klass.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">lost 11-9<\/a> to the Cardinal.<\/p>\n<p>One last noteworthy match of the weekend; <strong>Pomona-Pitzer<\/strong> came up big against the Chinese national team that has been touring the U.S. the past few weeks.
