With four games left in the regular season, Laura Beeman figures to take a look at varying on-court combinations as the Rainbow Wahine basketball team works to break out of a late-season slump. “It’s going to be a puzzle,” Beeman said after UH’s loss to UC Davis on Thursday. “We’re going to find the young ladies that want to have effort, want to have discipline, want to celebrate the success of their teammates and want to execute what we’re asking […]
Just a couple of years ago, the Big West race was defined by guard play. This season, the spotlight has shifted into the paint. The Rainbow Wahine basketball team will face two of the conference’s top post players this week when Big West leader UC Davis and Cal State Northridge visit the Stan Sheriff Center. UH (8-15, 4-7 Big West) has dropped four straight and begins the second half of its four-game homestand tonight against a UC Davis team led […]
The Rainbow Wahine basketball team will look to get break a three-game skid and avoid a rare home losing streak in tonight’s Big West game against UC Santa Barbara at the Stan Sheriff Center.

The Rainbow Wahine basketball team faces UC Riverside tonight at the Stan Sheriff Center in a rematch of the Highlanders’ 63-45 win last Thursday in Riverside, Calif. So what areas does UH (8-13, 4-5 Big West) need to address to reverse the outcome the second time around? Just about all of them. “The Riverside game, we didn’t show up in any way, shape or form,” UH coach Laura Beeman said this week. “So it’s really difficult to really measure what […]
The Big West’s stingiest 3-point defense faces one of the conference’s most prolific long-range shooters when the University of Hawaii women’s basketball team takes on UC Irvine tonight at the Stan Sheriff Center. The Rainbow Wahine (6-11, 2-3 Big West) have held opponents to a league-low 27.2 percent shooting beyond the 3-point arc overall and 24.5 percent in Big West play. UC Irvine guard Andree Ritter enters the game leading the league with 53 made 3-pointers in 159 attempts. “We […]
After a review of the Rainbow Wahine basketball team’s win at Cal Poly on Thursday, Sarah Toeaina’s point total wasn’t a career high after all. But the stat correction did little to take the shine off the individual and collective performances in UH’s first road win of the season. Toeaina was initially credited with 25 points in the 87-79 win at Cal Poly’s Mott Athletics Center. UH issued a correction on Friday stating that a first-quarter basket scored by freshman […]
The Rainbow Wahine basketball team returns to the Stan Sheriff Center today to close their nonconference schedule against Grand Canyon in their final home appearance of 2016.
