MORE WATER POLO
• O'Toole honored: Former University of Hawai'i swimmer Maureen O'Toole will be inducted into the California Commission on Athletics Hall of Fame on March 21 in Reno, Nev.
O'Toole is regarded by some as the greatest female water polo player of all time, but attended Hawai'i from 1981-85 on a swimming scholarship as there was little opportunity at that time to play collegiate water polo. When women's water polo made its debut at the 2000 Olympic Games, O'Toole helped the U.S. win a silver medal.
The Commission on Athletics governs community college sports in California. O'Toole played on the men's water polo team at Long Beach Community College before attending Hawai'i.
