Game Notes

DAVIS, Calif.—The University of Hawai'i women's basketball team (7-9, 3-2 Big West) heads to UC Davis to take on the Aggies who are coming off a sound defeat of Cal State Northridge who was previously undefeated in conference on Thursday. The Rainbow Wahine are looking to rebound after having their three-game win streak snapped with a frustrating loss at Pacific, 61-71. UCD improved to 6-9 overall and 1-3 in conference.
           
UH Last Time Out...
The 'Bows battled all game long against Pacific, but in the end could not recover from an early first half, 16-point deficit. Kamilah Martin and Shawna-Lei Kuehu both scored 18 points to lead UH on offense while Kalei Adolpho and Ashleigh Karaitiana had a game-high seven rebounds apiece to pace the 'Bows. The loss snapped UH's three-game win streak and dropped their record to 7-9 overall and 3-2 in the Big West. Pacific improved its record to 13-3 overall and 3-1 in conference.
 
Martin's 18 points leaves her just 16 points shy of hitting the 1,000-point milestone. She was 6-of-14 from the floor and 6-of-9 from the free-throw line with five rebounds. Martin had two offensive boards that tied her with former Rainbow Wahine Tanya Smith (2004-08) for second all-time with 302 and her three defensive rebounds pushed her past Christen Roper (1999-2003) for third place alone with 501.  Martin also had an assist, a block and a steal in 33 minutes of action.
