This year's edition of U.S. Open Women's Polo Championship, presented by Eastern Hay and Icon Source benefiting Susan G. Komen, had five talented teams.
Three-time champion Hawaii Polo Life continues to dominate the 22-goal women's polo scene in the U.S. This year they beat Blue Water 8-3 in the final to win the title again, with Hazel Jackson as the MVP. Leading from start to finish, Hawaii Polo Life controlled possession from the opening throw-in to outshoot Blue Water 17-6. With few penalty shots for either team, the game was primarily decided in open play where 10-goaler Hazel Jackson excelled with three goals and four assists to contribute on all but one of her team’s goals. Utilizing exceptional horsepower, Hawaii Polo Life’s built a large lead behind a defense that was equally as strong, limiting Blue Water to just one field goal in the game. With the dominant performance, Hawaii Polo Life completed the five-goal victory to return to the winner’s circle at IPC. Pictures of the final, by Alex Pacheco / IPC
