I mentioned that they had a weakness during the course of […]
A very good win for a Wahine team that has been looking for the right combinations. Shoji called it a complete team effort.

Just to let those coming to tonight’s matches know: Expect traffic delays around campus (University-Dole areas) due to the conflict with an upper campus event on the Bachman Hall front lawn that starts at 5 p.m. Maybe not as much of an issue as DOT deciding to do road work Saturday from 8 a.m.-130 p.m. on Kalanianaole heading into Waimanalo. it get backs up to Keolu Drive on weekends even without it going down to one lane.
