The Rainbow Warriors snapped a six-game losing streak against LaTech with a 74-50 romp over the Bulldogs Saturday night.

A crowd of 4,484 at the Stan Sheriff Center watched Hawai'i improve to 14-10 overall and 5-6 in the Western Athletic Conference. LaTech dropped to 7-17 and 5-7.

Bobby Nash led a balanced Hawai'i attack with 18 points and eight rebounds. Point guards Matt Gibson and Dominic Waters contributed 16 points each, and Gibson passed for a team-high five assists.

Hawai'i made a season-high 12 3-pointers, including 5-of-6 shooting from Gibson, and 4-of-4 from Waters.

Matt Lojeski, who played with a strained arch in his right foot, hit a 3-pointer early in the game to give the 'Bows a 6-3 lead they would not relinquish the rest of the way.

LaTech's Trey McDowell lived up to his first name, scoring 16 points in the first half, including four 3-pointers. His fourth 3 of the half cut Hawai'i's lead to 27-26 with 4:15 remaining.

But the 'Bows closed the half with a 13-2 run to take a 40-28 advantage at intermission.

Gibson had 13 points in the first half, including 4-of-5 shooting from 3-point range, while Waters added 11 points, including 3-of-3 shooting from 3-point range.

The 'Bows turned it into a rout midway through the second half. An alley-oop dunk by P.J. Owsley off a pass from Waters ignited a 14-0 run that gave Hawai'i an insurmountable 69-43 lead with 5:53 remaining.

McDowell finished with 18 points to lead LaTech. Chad McKenzie, the Bulldogs' leading scorer, finished with just five points — eight below his average.
