VIDEO: Game Highlights

HONOLULU – The University of Hawai'i football team concluded the 2013 season on a high note with a 49-42 win over Army Saturday night on Hawaiian Airlines Field at Aloha Stadium.
 
The Rainbow Warriors (1-11) played the game with heavy hearts after learning of the tragic death of reserve running back Willis Wilson earlier that morning. Still, UH came out strong and staved off an Army (3-8) rally in the second half to breakthrough for its sole win of the season following an endless string of heartbreaking losses.
 
For the second straight game, UH amassed better than 600 yards of total offense (608). UH rushed for a season-high 285 yards—including a pair of 100-yard performances by Joey Iosefa (154) and Steven Lakalaka (104), while also getting 323 yards passing from senior quarterback Sean Schroeder.
 
Fueled by three touchdown passes from Schroeder, the 'Bows built a 28-7 halftime lead, then went to the ground game in the second half to put up 21 more points to hold off the Black Knights.
 
UH held a comfortable 21-point cushion at the half but that did not deter Army which was sparked by back-up quarterback A.J. Schurr after the break. Capitalizing on a UH turnover as well as successful onside kick, the Black Knights scored three unanswered touchdowns—all on the ground by Schurr—to knot the game up midway through the third quarter.
 
The Rainbow Warriors, however, responded with two straight rushing touchdowns by Iosefa and Lakalaka to take a 42-28 lead into the final quarter. The Black Knights would cut the deficit to seven points on a pair of occasions but could get no closer.
 
The game marked the final home appearance for 20 Rainbow Warriors.

Throughout the game, UH players flashed the "W" in tribute to Wilson, a junior running back who transferred from the University of Washington. In addition, the Warriors started only 10 offensive players on the first play of their opening possession, also in honor of Wilson.
