Game Notes

HONOLULU - The University of Hawai'i women's basketball team (10-9, 3-3 Big West) returns home to host a pair of conference games. The Rainbow Wahine will open against Cal State Fullerton on Thursday, Jan. 28 at 7:00 p.m. which is also Military Appreciation Night in the Stan Sheriff Center. UH will then take on UC Irvine on Saturday, Jan. 30 at 5:30 pm on Patsy T. Mink Night. Saturday's game is the first half of a doubleheader with the men's basketball team which will be playing Long Beach State at 8:00 pm.

Last week, the Rainbow Wahine split their two conference road games. UH defeated UC Irvine at the Bren Events Center on Thursday, 83-65, but then fell at CSUN, 63-60 in the Matadome on Saturday night to even their conference record at 3-3.

Senior Destiny King continues to lead the 'Bows on offense, averaging 10.0 points per game. She also leads UH with 48 assists (tied with Ashleigh Karaitiana) and 25 steals. King is second on the team with 109 total rebounds and is tied for second on the squad averaging 5.7 boards per game. Sophomore post player Megan Huff leads UH and is ranked No. 9 in the Big West with 6.1 rebounds per game and 115 total rebounds. On offense, Huff has also been strong, scoring 8.9 points per game--including game-highs of 15 and 12 points respectively in UH's two most recent games.

Also having a standout season is senior center Kalei Adolpho. After taking last year off to focus on her final season on the Rainbow Wahine Volleyball team, Adolpho has come back to be a difference maker in the middle. She leads UH with a .504 field-goal percentage (which ranks her at No. 3 in the Big West), hitting 65-of-129 shots from the floor. Adolpho is tied for second on the team with King with 5.7 rebounds per game and is third in total rebounds with 108 while scoring 7.9 points per game.

About the Titans...
Cal State Fullerton comes to Honolulu with a 2-17 overall record and an 0-5 mark in conference action. After winning their first two games against Portland State and Loyola Marymount, the Titans have struggled, losing the last 17 straight games.

Dani Craig is also averaging double-digits in points with a 10.6 average coming into Thursday's game.

Jade Vega has dished out a team-high 62 assists to go with a team-best 31 steals.

UC Irvine just snapped their 11-game losing streak with a 62-58 win over Cal State Fullerton this past Saturday.
