HONOLULU — A blazing shooting performance to start the fourth quarter helped the University of Hawai'i women's basketball team extend its hot streak with a 67-46 win over UC Davis on Thursday at Bankoh Arena at Stan Sheriff Center.
 
The Rainbow Wahine (17-10, 11-6 Big West) built a nine-point lead through three quarters then hit their first eight shots of the fourth quarter — including four 3-pointers — to break away from the visiting Aggies (21-7, 14-3) on their way to their fifth straight win and 11th in the last 12 games.

UH saw a double-digit lead disappear in the fourth quarter in a loss to the Aggies to open the Big West season back on Dec. 4 in Davis, Calif. This time the 'Bows left no doubt in outscoring UC Davis (21-8, 14-4) 25-13 in the final 10 minutes to claim the rematch and earn a split of the regular-season series.
 
With the win, UH moved a game behind Cal State Fullerton for fourth place in the Big West standings heading into a meeting with the Titans in Saturday's home finale.

Bailey Flavell led UH with 16 points and eight rebounds while Keiara Curtis and Saniyah Neverson each poured in 15. Neverson went a perfect 3-of-3 on three-pointers, tying her career high from behind the arc, as UH went 10-of-22 on the evening in its third double-figure performance of the season. UH also employed its signature defense in avenging its tight road loss to the Aggies as UC Davis shot just 36% from the floor, including 6-of-26 from three-point territory.

UH led 11-9 after a physical first quarter and went on a 10-0 run in the second sparked by 3-pointers from Curtis and Izzy Forsyth to open up a 26-13 margin. UC Davis made a five-point push late in the period but a layup by Neverson off a feed from Rebecca Moors sent UH into halftime with a 30-20 lead. The UH defense limited the Aggies to 31% shooting from the field in the first 20 minutes.

The Aggies cut the deficit to just 37-33 at the 2:56 mark of the third quarter. But that's when the Rainbow Wahine went into overdrive. The 'Bows went on a 16-2 run bridging the third and fourth quarter  – including 11 unanswered points – to extend its lead to 53-35. It was a run capped by Neverson's transition three-pointer off a Flavell steal as UH would take an 18-point lead into the final eight minutes. That lead would balloon to as many as 24 points later in the fourth quarter, powered by the 'Bows torrid shooting.
