Hawaii Football Throwbacks: Fresno State

By Brian McInnis on November 2, 2019

On a Friday night in Halawa in October of 2001, it was peak Hawaii-Fresno State. “Magic” it would be described by no fewer than two sportswriters. Of the 51 all-time meetings between the Rainbow Warriors and the Bulldogs going into tonight’s clash at Aloha Stadium, none may be better remembered on the Hawaii side than the Oct. 6, 2001 encounter (with apologies to the overtime clash in 1999 and the 2007 battle, among others). Rolovich. Lelie. Jackson. Those were just […]

Oh jeez. My heart,” coach Michele […]

It will be part of UH’s 100th season initiative in 2019-20. Special themes for the Fabulous Five — of which Nash was a prominent member — and the 100th […]

Hawaii soccer: Everything on the table

By Brian McInnis on October 31, 2019

FINAL: Hawaii came up with a huge road victory in a wild, hostile match, 3-2 at UC Davis. The Rainbow Wahine had to rally from down 2-1 with 34 minutes left when Davis’ Janae Gonzalez put in her second penalty-kick goal of the match, and Kayla Ryan delivered with her team-best sixth and seventh goals of the season on set-ups by teammates. “To be perfectly honest, I was just really impressed with the team and their composure and their mental […]
