The Hunter Hurricanes have opened their Australian Water Polo League (AWPL) accounts for 2023 following a series of results in Adelaide.

Having both lost all seven games so far this season, the men's team recorded back-to-back wins during a triple header while the women's squad posted a draw.

In the men's draw, the Hurricanes edged out Queensland Thunder (10-9) on Friday and accounted for Adelaide-Hobart Jets (13-8) on Saturday before going down to Victorian Thunder (19-8) on Sunday.

In the women's competition, Hunter levelled with Adelaide-Hobart (7-all) either side of defeats by Queensland (18-8) and Victoria (14-13).

Julia Barton scored 10 goals while Jake Robinson and Lucas Mackaway found the back of the net seven times each.

AWPL now splits in half based on the ladder.
