Randan Berinobis had a blast on the boards, and his energy finally spread as UH-Hilo diffused what could have been a sticky situation.
Actually, it would have been a disaster, but any thoughts of an embarrassing loss were put aside Thursday night as the Vulcans used a second-half onslaught to surge past undersized Northwest Indian College 106-75 at Hilo Civic for their fourth victory in five games.
Berinobis was a one-man rebounding machine, with nine on the offensive end en route to grabbing a career-high 24 – that surpassed the Eagles’ team total – Parker Farris scored 27 points and the Vulcans (5-6) shot 61.
