March 18, 2026—Santa Clara University is currently investigating allegations of hazing by and among members of the women's water polo team. The University considers the safety of our students of paramount importance and takes allegations of hazing very seriously, consistent with the University's Policy Prohibiting Hazing. 

While the investigation is ongoing, the University notified the team late this afternoon that, effective immediately, due to the nature of the preliminary findings, the team will not participate in the remainder of the women's water polo 2026 season. The University will take appropriate action based on the outcome of the investigation.
