Game Notes

WEST POINT, N.Y.—The University of Hawai`i women's basketball team (1-6) embarks on its farthest roadtrip in program history when it makes its way to New York to play Army at its historic West Point campus on Thursday, Dec. 1 and Columbia on Saturday, Dec. 3, 2011.
 
The Rainbow Wahine are looking to snap a six-game losing streak against Army (5-2) to capture its first win against Division I competition this season. The 'Bows have faced stiff competition early with five of its first six opponents being either ranked or receiving votes in the national polls.
