Hawaii women’s basketball: Shannon Nishi-Patton closer to Olympics with Pan Am gold

By Dave Reardon on August 11, 2019

The window to living her dream opened at least a little bit more for Shannon Nishi-Patton when she swept her five karate matches at the Pan Am Games and won a gold medal Saturday. But Nishi-Patton still doesn’t know how close she is to making it to Tokyo when karate will debut as an exhibition sport at the 2020 Olympic Games. The former Team USA assistant coach from Honolulu came out of a five-year retirement as a competitor in 2017. […]

By Warrior World on August 11, 2019

Hawaii women’s volleyball: Transfer players spice up first practice

By Brian McInnis on August 10, 2019

It was no typical Day 1 in Gym 1 at Hawaii women’s volleyball practice. And it wasn’t simply the pristine environs of the renovated facility. Saturday morning was crisper than the norm, the consensus seemed to be, despite the fact that there were faces aplenty to learn and three-plus hours to dissect. >> WAHINE VOLLEYBALL PRACTICE PHOTO GALLERY Helping raise the level of play among nine newcomers were four Division I transfer players who arrived in the offseason — Bailey Choy […]

Fanupo Peapealalo earns Hawaii football scholarship

By Stephen Tsai on August 10, 2019

To fringe fans, defensive end Fanupo Peapealalo‘s name is not one of the first to be answered in a UH game of word association. He grew up in Riverside, Calif., went to NAIA Graceland University in Lamoni, Iowa, for two years, and then joined the Warriors in 2017. Since then, he redshirted in 2017 and logged one game in 2018. But then at every practice, he was pounding away, either on the scout team or in the regular defensive rotation […]

Hawaii football: Eugene Ford revs engine at nickel

By Brian McInnis on August 9, 2019

The first time Eugene Ford took the nickelback position out for a spin, it felt like driving on a freshly paved highway. Last Nov. 17, Ford, then a sophomore, slid over from cornerback for the first time on senior night against UNLV. Hawaii came back from a 15-point fourth-quarter deficit to stun the Rebels, 35-28. “First game at a different position, we came back and won. That was big right there,” said Ford, who’s primarily played nickel ever since — the […]

Hawaii men’s basketball: 2019-20 schedule released, ‘Bows to make 2 Power Five road trips

By Brian McInnis on August 9, 2019

In most years, Hawaii men’s basketball might take a single road trip to the mainland during nonconference play. Sometimes no trip at all. Not so this year. The Rainbow Warriors are challenging themselves with two separate excursions to the mainland to take on Illinois (Nov. 18) and Oregon (Dec. 7), interspersed between 12 nonconference home games. Combined with some respectable foes coming in, and only one Division II opponent, this has the potential to be one of the better Rainbow […]

Hawaii men’s basketball: Huge loss in Jacobsen, big gain in Ali

By Brian McInnis on August 9, 2019

Thursday was a day of some very notable personnel movement for the Hawaii men’s basketball team. First, news broke that former Washington State guard Ahmed Ali had transferred to join the Rainbow Warriors for his last season of college eligibility. Later in the day, word began to percolate that associate head coach Adam Jacobsen, the right-hand man of head coach Eran Ganot for the last four years, is apparently on his way out from Manoa. These moves are potentially huge, and […]
