San Diego State women’s basketball tipped off its season with a 58-57 win against University of Hawaii on Friday afternoon at Viejas arena.
The Aztecs led for over 30 minutes, but found themselves down by one with less than a minute remaining after Hawaii’s senior forward Leah Salanoa got fouled and hit two free throws to capture a 57-56 lead.
SDSU sophomore guard Te’a Adams, who finished with 15 points, six rebounds, and three assists, hit the game-winning shot with seven seconds left to hold off the Rainbow Wahine fourth quarter comeback.
“It felt pretty good,” Adams said.
