UH softball game at BYU canceled

The University of Hawaii softball team’s scheduled opener of a three-game Western Athletic Conference series at Brigham Young was canceled Friday due to unplayable field conditions resulting from inclement weather.

Snow in Provo, Utah, led to the game being called off and it will not be made up.

The No. 15/19 Rainbow Wahine (31-3, 5-1 WAC) and Cougars (23-10, 3-2) will play a doubleheader today starting at 9:30 a.m. Hawaii time, weather permitting. Both games will be televised on BYUtv (Oceanic Ch. 409).

UH entered the series with a six-game winning streak and in first place in the WAC. BYU began the week tied for third in the conference and has won its past 27 games at Gail Miller Field. The Cougars are 8-0 at home this season.
