By Brandon Masuoka

Tanya Smith scored 24 points and had nine rebounds to help Hawai'i celebrate its first Western Athletic Conference victory of the season, beating Idaho, 71-61, Wednesday at the Stan Sheriff Center.

A crowd of 223 watched as Smith sank her first 10 shots. She finished 11 of 12 from the field, 2 of 3 from the free-throw line and helped Hawai'i (7-10, 1-4) snap its five-game losing streak.

The Vandals (3-13, 0-5) dropped their ninth straight.
