Wahine walk off Mavericks, fall to No. 1 Bruins

By Jason Kaneshiro on February 9, 2019

Hawaii closed its first game on Friday with a display of resilience. The Rainbow Wahine then got an up-close look at pure dominance in the finish of the day. The Wahine opened their Paradise Classic doubleheader with a six-run first inning against Texas-Arlington, only to see the Mavericks catch and pass them in the top of the seventh. But Nicole Lopez’s leadoff double sparked a Wahine response in the bottom of the inning and sophomore center fielder Brittnee Rossi gave […]

Baseball ‘Bows prepare for alums, Grand Slam

By Brian McInnis on February 8, 2019

It’s a regular refrain for coaches and athletes doing preseason interviews to celebrate “seeing someone new” or “not having to go against ourselves” once actual games are set to begin. In the case of the Hawaii baseball team this weekend, seeing someone new involves seeing someone old. The annual alumni game is 11 a.m. Saturday. Admission is free. No official roster has been issued for the alums yet, but word is knuckleballer Steven Wright of the Boston Red Sox could […]

By Cindy Luis on February 8, 2019

FINAL: Hawaii improved to 7-0, its seventh straight sweep, in dispatching Saint Francis 25-15, 25-20, 25-12. Set 3: Hawaii wins 25-12 3:40. Rado Parapunov with an ace and an SFU hitting error ends it. 3:37: SFU having problems with Rado Parapunov’s serve. It’s 21-12. TO Red Flash. Think the Warriors got a little bit angry after Set 2 was so close. It’s 8-1 and Hawaii has yet to have a kill 0-0-3. TO SFU Set 2: Hawaii wins 25-20 3:17 […]

Softball socks Georgia State to open 2019

By Brian McInnis on February 8, 2019

It was the start Bob Coolen was looking for. Hawaii crushed Georgia State 8-0 in five mercy-shortened innings late Thursday night to launch the 2019 season, as sixth-year senior Brittany Hitchcock tossed a one-hitter and Callee Heen and Nicole Lopez paced the Rainbow Wahine at the plate. “That was something we haven’t done in a long time, is come out on the first night and really pound the ball,” said Coolen, who launched his 28th season. “Pitching was there — […]

Game day: UH at Long Beach State

By Stephen Tsai on February 7, 2019

For the second time in eight days, Hawaii and Long Beach State will meet in a basketball game. This time it’s in the Pyramid. Both teams are seeking to rebound. The ‘Bows imploded in the past Saturday’s second half when UC Santa Barbara scored 45 points on 65.4 percent shooting (including 71.4 percent on 3s). The 49ers won their first two Big West games, then lost the next five. On Saturday, they fell to UC Irvine, 82-80. The 49ers have […]

Hitchcock primed for fifth opener

By Jason Kaneshiro on February 6, 2019

In his meticulous penmanship, Hawaii softball coach Bob Coolen has written Brittany Hitchcock’s name on the bottom line of his lineup card for each of the last four Rainbow Wahine season openers. With Hitchcock back for a sixth year with the program, Coolen will likely make it five straight opening-night starts for the right-hander on Thursday when UH takes on Georgia State at Rainbow Wahine Softball Stadium. Hitchcock’s first run at a senior season ended with surgery to treat a […]
