A crowd of 418 at the Stan Sheriff Center watched the first-place Broncos (14-4, 5-0) win their sixth straight. The Rainbow Wahine (7-11, 1-5) have lost six of their last seven.

Hawai'i sliced Boise State's nine-point halftime lead to 45-44 when Iwona Zagrobelna scored a putback to cap a 9-0 run with 7:26 left. Zagrobelna scored four points during the surge and Amy Kotani hit a 3-pointer during the surge.

Two minutes later, Kotani's 3-pointer — she finished with three in the game — closed Hawai'i to 49-47 with 5:22, but that's as close as the 'Bows would get as they were outscored 13-6 the rest of the way.

Kotani, a junior guard, provided a spark of the bench and finished with 10 points, 6 rebounds and three assists. Tanya Smith led the 'Bows with 12 points and 13 rebounds.

Janevia Taylor scored Hawai'i's first seven points in the first three minutes, but she would play only seven more minutes in the first half. She fiished with nine points, four rebounds and two assists.

Hawai'i held an early 9-8 lead, but Boise State responded with a 20-6 run for a 28-15 advantage. The Broncos hit four 3-pointers in the surge and finished with seven for the game.

Late in the first half, Hawai'i's Saundra Cariaga blocked Bridgette Reyes, grabbed the loose ball and scored on a layup, and teammate Amber Lee followed with a putback as the 'Bows cut the deficit to 32-23 at intermission.

Hawai'i committed 23 turnovers in the game, including 15 in the first half. Boise State outscored Hawai'i, 23-15, off turnovers.

Hawai'i got two highlight plays from Taylor early in the second half. Brittany Grice scored on a layup after a nifty wrap-around pass from Taylor, who lost her right shoe on the play. Moments later and still shoeless, Taylor stole the ball.

Boise State earned one of its biggest wins in the program's history last week when it upset host Lousiana Tech, 68-47. The Lady Techsters, the five-time defending WAC champion, had not lost a home confernce game in 15 years, spanning 114 games.
