Rainbow Wahine fall at home to Highlanders
Hannah Wickstrom scored 36 points with perfect free-throw shooting as UC Riverside overcame Hawaii's turnovers and defensive lapses for a 65-58 upset win.
- UC Riverside upset Hawaii 65-58 Thursday at the Stan Sheriff Center, led by Hannah Wickstrom, 5-foot-10 sophomore guard, who scored a career-best 36 points.
- In the second quarter, Hawaii was outscored 17-8 and committed six of its 14 turnovers, trailing 32-24 at halftime as UH coach Laura Beeman said defensive lapses allowed Riverside to get downhill.
- A 10-0 run decided the game, with UCR’s Seneca Hackley’s layup putting the Highlanders ahead 57-56 with 1:56 remaining, and UCR converting free throws when UH fouled.
- The result leaves UC Riverside 2-1 in Big West while Hawaii dropped to 0-3, and Hawaii hosts UC San Diego Saturday at 7 p.m.; Jovi Lefotu limped to the training room late and did not return.
- Statistically, Wickstrom’s night featured 36 points, seven short of the UH opponent record and the most since 2017; she entered as the Big West’s second-leading scorer, while the holiday crowd was 725 and UC Riverside is coached by Brad Langston, a former Beeman assistant.
