UC Davis deals staggered Hawaii women’s basketball team a home defeat
HONOLULU — The Hawaii women’s basketball team’s bench area increasingly resembles an infirmary. Thursday night’s on-court result left the Rainbow Wahine in search of aid.
UC Davis blew open the game early and staved off UH’s limited comeback attempt to deal the hosts a 57-47 defeat in front of a sparse Stan Sheriff Crowd on Thursday night.
UH (8-12, 6-5 Big West) lost two key rotation players, Jovi Lefotu and Jacque David, for the season in the dozen days since the last time the Wahine suited up at home. Lefotu went down in the final seconds of UH’s three-point loss at UC Santa Barbara last week and David too succumbed to a lower-leg injury in the team’s first practice back in the islands.
