Hawaii sweeps softball doubleheader from Nevada

By Stacy Kaneshiro
Advertiser Staff Writer

The No. 23-ranked University of Hawaii softball team swept a Western Athletic Conference doubleheader from Nevada, 5-4 and 6-2, Tuesday night at Rainbow Wahine Softball Stadium. That completed a three-game series sweep and took a little sting off last year's conference tournament in which the Wolf Pack won 2 of 3 on the final day to claim the tournament title.

"It feels good," UH pitcher Kate Robinson said. "It's a little payback for the WAC tournament. Our goal was to send them home 0-5 and that's what we did, so we're pretty satisfied."

The Rainbows (30-7 overall, 3-0 WAC) also beat the Wolf Pack (7-22, 0-3) twice in non-conference games in last week's Bank of Hawai'i Invitational. Hawai'i extended its winning streak to six and will resume conference play this weekend when its hosts Louisiana Tech.
