Rainbow Wahine roll to 104-42 win over HPU

By Brandon Masuoka

Before this season, Jim Bolla advertised his University of Hawaii women's basketball team as high-scoring and fast-paced.

Apparently, he wasn't kidding.

Hawaii raced past Division II Hawai'i Pacific, 104-42, in an exhibition game Saturday.

"Our big thing was just trying to get that uptempo thing going," Bolla said.

A crowd of 343 at the Stan Sheriff Center watched the Rainbow Wahine spoil the return of former UH assistant Liz O'Brien, who is now the head coach for the Sea Warriors in their inaugural season.

It was the season-opener for both teams.

"I thought we ran really well," said UH senior swing player Pam Tambini, who scored a game-high 16 points. "Sometimes we broke down, but in the end, it was a good outcome. "

All 14 Rainbow Wahine players saw action last night, and 13 scored at least one point.
