By Brian McInnis on February 13, 2020

Former Hawaii women’s basketball player Michelle Gabriel is in the news for a recent decision by Maryknoll School, her alma mater and now-former employer. Maryknoll decided to release Gabriel, a 1999 Spartans graduate who went on to play for UH’s Vince Goo (1999-2003), from her position as director of its middle school in late January because she was eight months pregnant and unmarried. A rally of support for Gabriel, who was also a P.E. teacher, was held Wednesday outside of […]

By Brian McInnis on February 13, 2020

Members of the Hawaii men’s basketball team attempted to give voice to what transpired on the Stan Sheriff Center court some 20 minutes earlier. No easy feat after the 50-49 loss to last-place Long Beach State. “We gotta find ourselves, a little bit. We lost our way just a little,” said senior Eddie Stansberry. “Just lack of togetherness. The whole game we just wasn’t together,” freshman guard Justin Webster summarized. Maybe most telling, a shaken Eran Ganot said, “We weren’t […]

Hawaii women’s basketball: Julissa Tago, Amy Atwell within range of season 3-point record

By Brian McInnis on February 12, 2020

The recent 3-point binge of the Hawaii women’s basketball team has led to what could be the most prolific outside-shooting season in program history. Not one, but two Hawaii women’s basketball players could — and will very likely — soon surpass the program record for 3-pointers in a season, with Julissa Tago positioned to possibly do it as soon as Thursday’s home game against Cal State Northridge. Tago, the senior guard who is at No. 4 in Rainbow Wahine career 3s […]
