Short on numbers, Hawaii’s prowess from long range propelled the Rainbow Wahine basketball team past Hawaii Hilo 84-63 in Wednesday’s intrastate exhibition at the Stan Sheriff Center.

The Rainbow Wahine hit 11 3-pointers, five in the second quarter, to pull away from the Division II Vulcans in their lone exhibition before the Nov. 11 season opener at USC.

Senior guard Briana Harris hit four 3-pointers and finished with a game-high 17 points for the Rainbow Wahine, who had seven players available for the game due to injuries.

Sophomore forward Lahni Salanoa posted a double-double with 16 points and 11 rebounds. Junior guard Sarah Toeaina added 16 points and eight rebounds and freshman Julissa Tago knocked down three 3-pointers in a 13-point, 10-rebound debut.

Kim Schmelz led three UH Hilo players in double figures with 16 points, 14 coming in the second half.
