  NEWS & NOTES

• UH is coming off their second consecutive home tournament by going 1-2 in the Rainbow Wahine Showdown. The 'Bows picked up a win against Eastern Illinois but fell to Utah and Gonzaga over the three-day tournament.
• Following her back-to-back stellar performances the week before against Portland and Portland, where she dropped 59 points, Amy Atwell scored a combined 42 points in the showdown. In two of the three games, Atwell scored a team-high 16 points, one in a win against EIU, the other coming in a loss against Gonzaga.
• Heading into the match-up with the Lions, Atwell leads UH in scoring at 16.9 points per game and has scored double-digits in five consecutive games. Her current stretch of scoring output is the best of her career. During the 2020-2021 season, she scored double-digits in four straight games (Feb. 26- Mar.6), and the year prior, in 2019-2020, she had two stretches of three consecutive games with double-digit scoring (Nov. 11- Nov. 29 & Jan. 30- Feb. 6).
• The first seven games have put UH against some tough opponents, leading to their 2-5 record, but the combined record of those opponents currently sits at 29-16 with a .644 win percentage. Three of those teams, Portland, Utah, and Gonzaga, only have one loss on the season. The only other team in the conference with a similar opponent nonconference schedule to this point is CSUN sitting at 2-3, with a combined opponent record of 19-11 with a .633 win percentage.
• During her first season, forward Nnenna Orji averaged 13 minutes of action with three points and three rebounds per game. Her production is up, but her last three games are eye-opening. For the first time in her career, Orji started a game and recorded her first-career double-double with 10 points and 10 rebounds against EIU. She followed up by posting two more 10 point games.
• In the season opener against San Diego, guard Daejah Phillips scored 20 points showing what her second season could be for the team. She suffered a setback, missing games against Portland and Portland State, but she came and played in all three games of the showdown this past weekend. Phillips scored a team-high 19 points in the tournament's second game against Utah.
