Toeaina was a two-time All-Big West first-teamer at UH and finished No. 9 in career Wahine points with 1,204.
Congrats to Sarah! That’s awesome being named league MVP, no matter what league.
This is news. Sarah Toeaina was Laura Beeman’s best recruit. I did not know she was still playing.
Yup, simply awesome !!!
