The 'Bows hold an overall record of 24-6 and 5-2 at home with the Aggies as they look to continue a 17 game win streak over UC Davis.
On Saturday, Hawai'i will honor goalie
Danielle Brown, attacker
Mhairi Nurthen, and utility
Carmen Baringo. All three Wahine not only making their marks in the pool but also in the classroom as they all earned UH Scholar-Athlete Awards.
