The UH-Hilo women’s basketball team’s full-game effort couldn’t trump No. 7 Alaska Anchorage’s talent and all its intangibles.
In a rematch, the Seawolves capitalized on turnovers and thumped the Vulcans 80-33 on Friday night before a gathering of 227 at Hilo Civic.
At least the Vuls don’t have to worry about another ranked team pushing its weight around until next year.
The Vuls (0-2) get someone their own size when they face Alaska Fairbanks (2-2) at 2 p.m. Saturday to close a taxing three-day, three-game homestand at their home away from home.
The only other ranked team on UHH’s schedule is PacWest foe and national runner-up Cal Baptist.
