Okeson heads back to Nevada

By Brian McInnis on September 4, 2018

Todd Okeson’s playing career took off with the Nevada Wolf Pack. The former Hawaii director of basketball operations is hoping Reno, Nev., can do the same for his coaching career. Okeson, the former Pack point guard who helped lead the team to the Sweet 16 in 2004, was announced as the DOBO for coach Eric Musselman’s resurgent program on Tuesday. Okeson chose to leave UH soon after his second year as DOBO under Eran Ganot. He’d bounced around the coaching […]

Warrior Beat: Keene observation

By Stephen Tsai on September 4, 2018

As Navy set up to punt, Hawaii’s Jeffrey Keene moved side to side, eyeing an opening into the backfield. Then Keene burst through the middle, and blocked Owen White‘s punt just inches after it exited his shoe. Defensive end Max Hendrie scooped the football and raced 19 yards to the end zone for a 28-0 lead. “I just saw an opening and took it,” Keene said following this morning’s two-hour practice on the grass field. Keene said the play was […]

A rare double feature of BWC honors

By Brian McInnis on September 3, 2018

As the Big West women’s soccer Twitter account put it — “DOUBLE RAINBOW”. Raisa Strom-Okimoto and Lex Mata were named the Big West offensive and defensive players of the week today for their roles in helping Hawaii to a sweep of its two-game West Coast Conference road swing. UH came back to win 2-1 at Saint Mary’s in overtime on Thursday then blew past Pacific 5-0 on Sunday. It marked only the second time in UH’s seven-year history in the BWC […]

Warrior Beat: McDonald wins MWC weekly award

By Stephen Tsai on September 3, 2018

It took 78 games, but the Warriors finally have a winner of the Mountain West’s Offensive Player of the Week award. Quarterback Cole McDonald, a third-year sophomore from La Mirada, Calif., earned the honor after completing 30 of 41 passes for 428 yards and six touchdowns in a 59-41 victory over Navy this past Saturday. There were four drops. The Warriors joined the Mountain West as a football affiliate in 2012 after 33 seasons in the Western Athletic Conference. Since […]

Rainbow Wahine trounce Pacific

By Brian McInnis on September 2, 2018

Well, that was emphatic. On the heels of the UH football team’s big 59-41 win over Navy at Aloha Stadium, the Hawaii soccer team earned a rare road runaway victory on Sunday, as they rolled into Stockton, Calif., and ransacked the place to the tune of a 5-0 win over Pacific of the West Coast Conference. UH (3-1) picked up its third straight win, and second after it had two home games canceled due to the threat of Hurricane Lane. […]

Warrior Beat: A statement-making win

By Stephen Tsai on September 2, 2018

The Warriors had just put away Navy, 59-41 and the doom-and-gloomers were doing their dooming and glooming. “They started 2-0 last year, too,” they gloomed. Well, last year was different because the Warriors’ first two 2018 opponents (Colorado State and Navy) are way better than last year’s opening twosome (UMass and Western Carolina). And next week’s game is at home against Rice. Last year’s third game was at a little place called the Rose Bowl against UCLA (and its NFL […]

McDonald, Warriors serve up happy meal for Hawaii fans

By Dave Reardon on September 1, 2018

After two games, Hawaii’s offense has generated 1,139 yards and UH has scored 102 total points in victories at Colorado State and, tonight, its home-opener against Navy, 59-41. Those are some numbers that might even spin the head of business major Cole McDonald, who says, “I like accounting.” McDonald is also the UH quarterback who completed 30-of-41 passes for 428 yards and six touchdowns tonight. It was a sweet encore for McDonald and the Warriors after their season-opening conference road […]
