Rainbow Wahine Breeze Past Chaminade In Maui Exhibition

PUKALANI, Maui -- In its final tune-up prior to the opening of the regular-season, the University of Hawai'i Rainbow Wahine basketball team defeated Chaminade 73-31 in an exhibition contest Saturday afternoon at Ka'ulaheanuiokamoku Gym on the campus of Kamehameha-Maui.

The goodwill game, in collaboration with the Hawaii Tourism Authority and the County of Maui, marked a rare appearance on the Valley Island for the Rainbow Wahine who treated fans to a dominant performance. 

UH shook off a sluggish start to take control of the game and never looked back. The Rainbow Wahine spotted the Silverswords the first two points of the game and tallied just two points themselves in the first five-plus minutes of the game. However the 'Bows exploded for 18 points in the final five minutes of the opening frame, including 14 unanswered, to take a commanding 20-4 lead after one. 

UH breezed the rest of the way, holding the Swords to just 25 percent shooting and forcing 25 turnovers. A total of 14 players saw action, with 11 entering the scoring column. Freshman center Ritorya Tamilo was dominant inside, shooting 7-of-10 from the field to finish with 16 points. Lily Wahinekapu added 10 points in just 11 minutes of action. 

The Rainbow Wahine will now open the regular-season on the road with games at Portland (Nov. 7, 4:00 p.m. HT) and Portland State (Nov. 9, 5:30 p.m. HT).
