GAME NOTES
 
• The Rainbow Wahine are coming off back-to-back losses to UC Irvine (53-48) and UC Davis (72-46). Due to the losses, UH fell from a tie at No. 2 in the Big West Conference standings to No. 5.
 
• Neither of the two losses were statistical highlights for the Bows as only one player scored in double figures (Jadynn Alexander, 10 points vs. UCI) over the two-game stretch. UH was held to under 50 points in each game and are 1-9 this season when held under 60 points.
 
• With three games remaining on the regular season schedule, the 'Bows still have an opportunity to surpass their previous mark of seven wins in conference play from the 2016-17 season. If UH end the season on a three-game win streak then it mark double-digits wins in conference play for the first time since the 2015-16 season.
 
• The previous matchup between UH and Cal State Fullerton went to hosting Titans with a score of 72-68 on Jan. 5. Redshirt sophomore Amy Atwell exploded off the bench for the visiting 'Bows with 25 points, hitting 9-of-11 from the floor and 4-of-5 from beyond the three-point line. The leading scorer for the Titans on the season, Raina Perez (12.8) didn't hold back as she accounted for 23 points in the win.
 
• Traditionally UH has kept CSF in check holding a 22-17 record in the all-time series. Recently, CSF has won two of the last three games in the matchup. Prior to the last three games, UH had a seven game win streak over CSF. On top of series success, UH has not lost to CSF at the Stan Sheriff Center since Jan. 13 1995, and currently holds a seven-game home win streak in the series.
 
• Four seniors will be honored following Saturday's game including Leah and Lahni Salanoa, Tia Kanoa, and Rachel Odumu. The Salanoa sisters have played all four of their eligible collegiate seasons at UH, while Kanoa a native of Honolulu, O'ahu transferred back after spending two seasons at Arizona State, and Odumu transferred in from Monmouth University in New Jersey.
 
MAKE THE THREE, GRAB YOUR BOARDS, AND TAKE YOUR VITAMINS
In a season of inconsistent play by the 'Bows, two things have remained consistent, rebounding and hitting threes.  UH has remained in the top half of the rebounding margin at +0.0, ranking No. 4 in the Big West over 26 games and is +1.0 against in 13 games against Big West teams. The 'Bows have also been reliable from beyond the three-point arc ranking No. 2 in three-point field goal percentage at 33 percent and third in three-point field goals made at 164.
 
SENIORS LEAVING THEIR MARKS
At the end of the 2018-19 season four seniors will leave the program but three will walk away with their names in the record books. As it stands, Tia Kanoa will finish at No. 1 in assists per game at 5.0 after surpassing the 50 game career mark earlier this season. Leah Salanoa is currently No. 10 in three-point field goals made 96 and has a chance to climb as high as No. 8, while Lahni is currently trying to crack the top 10 at No. 11 with 93.
