Box Score

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.

GAME NOTES
Lauren Holt scored at least 22 points for the fourth time in the last five games. She has now made at least one three-pointer (1-6 3FG) in eight straight games, good for her second longest streak of the season.

Junior Malou Thiebaut De Kergret scored a conference season-high 10 points (4-9 FG), her second-highest scoring total of the season.

Sophomore Marina Ewodo finished with a career-high 12 rebounds, also tying a season-high with 3 blocks.

The Highlanders struggled from three-point range (2-17 3FG) and were outshot at the free throw line, going 11-of-15 (.733) compared to 22-of-33 (.667) for Hawaii.

UC Riverside will play its second straight on the road next Saturday, February 3 when it plays Cal Poly.
