Honolulu, HI – Senior Lauren Holt had another big night Saturday at Hawaii (9-12, 2-6), finishing with a game-high 22 points (9-17 FG). However, the UC Riverside Women's Basketball Team (6-16, 3-5) would go on to drop its third straight game, 63-57.

KEY RUNS
After heading into the half with a slight 31-29 advantage, UCR was outscored by the Rainbow Wahine 21-9 in the third quarter.

Hawaii would lead by as many as 12 points in the fourth, before a late Highlander run capped by a Tianna Eaton jumper made it a one possession game, 60-57, with 17 seconds to go. However, that would be the last UCR bucket of the night as the Rainbow Wahine iced the game at the free throw line.
