Rainbow Wahine basketball team loses at Long Beach State

The Hawaii women’s basketball team could not make it four straight Big West road victories, as the Rainbow Wahine offense sputtered in a 56-40 loss at Long Beach State today.

UH (9-13, 5-4 Big West) was held to 25.5 percent shooting to 45.5 for LBSU (7-15, 4-5).

Freshman Myrrah Joseph enjoyed her best game of the season, 15 points on 6-for-9 shooting with nine rebounds, but no other Rainbow Wahine player scored more than eight. Amy Atwell, the hero off the bench who scored 19 in Thursday’s 70-68 win at UC Irvine, went scoreless in nine minutes.

Naomi Hunt led LBSU with 20 points and eight rebounds.
