Kate Robinson pitched a three-hitter and hit a two-run home run to lead Hawai'i to a 5-0 victory over Utah State today in the Western Athletic Conference regular-season finale at Rainbow Wahine Softball Stadium.

The Rainbows, who swept the three-game series, are 36-17 and 10-7 in the WAC. The Aggies are 14-32 and 2-15. Hawai'i will host the WAC Tournament starting Wednesday.

Robinson struck out seven and walked none in 6 2/3 innings. Jessica Morton struck out Amy Schaible to end the game.

After Robinson hit her two-run blast to left-center field in the first inning, Clare Warwick followed with a homer also to left-center field to give the Rainbows a 3-0 lead.

Katie Grimes hit a solo shot to left field in the second inning for a 4-0 lead.

UH took a 5-0 lead on a Warwick's sacrifice fly to left that scored Kaulana Gould in the fifth inning.

UH's Gould, Morton, Robinson, Brandi Peiler and Valana Manuma were honored after the game on Senior Day.
