Purchase moves up 3s chart

By Brian McInnis on January 20, 2019

It was a disappointing flight home today for Hawaii, which came ever-so-close to sweeping its first road trip of the Big West season. However, senior guard Jack Purchase submitted one of his finer offensive games, scoring a season-high 24 (one off his career high) on 10-for-15 shooting in the 75-71 loss to UC Riverside at SRC Arena. The Aussie scored 18 of his points in the second half in keeping the Rainbow Warriors within striking distance. He hadn’t had a […]

Water polo opens with a splash

By Brian McInnis on January 19, 2019

That’s how you start as the No. 6 team in the country. The Hawaii water polo team opened the 2019 season in fine fashion by dispatching No. 22 Marist 17-3 on Saturday afternoon at the Duke Kahanamoku Aquatic Complex. UH did that despite working in several freshmen and playing without its No. 2 player, Elyse Lemay-Lavoie, who just left for Brazil for competition with the Canadian national team. Senior Irene Gonzalez of Spain picked up where she left off from […]

Wahine put up 29 in loss to CSUN

By Brian McInnis on January 18, 2019

Right around halftime, when the score read 27-12, the media guides were opened and the records searched. The lowest-scoring half of women’s basketball in the history of the Stan Sheriff Center? Eleven points, by Denver against UConn in 2002. The lowest-scoring game in the history of the Hawaii Rainbow Wahine? Twenty-five, against California in January of 1977. UH succeeded in avoiding setting a standard in those categories on Thursday night, but that’s about all that went right for the hosts […]

Hawaii has been ranked in the CWPA national preseason poll every year since 2009 — and 2019 was no different. Maureen Cole’s Rainbow Wahine, who checked in in a tie for sixth in the poll announced Wednesday, will have no shortage of opportunities to maintain or better their position through their 21-game schedule. UH opens against No. 22 Marist at noon on Saturday at Duke Kahanamoku Aquatic Complex, then Sonoma State at 6 p.m. that night. It’s the second straight […]

Warrior Beat: Former sprint champ joins Warriors

By Stephen Tsai on January 15, 2019

Here’s the skinny: > He is 6 feet and 180 pounds. > He will have three years to play three UH seasons. > As a junior in 2016, Ihu won the state championships in the 100- and 200-meter dashes.
