Cowboys prevail in home opener vs Hawaii

On Oct. 30, last Friday, the Cowboys secured their first win of the 2020 football season defeating Hawaii 31-7.

Temperatures reaching lows of 22 degrees meant fans were bundled up and huddled together for the home opener against the Rainbow Warriors.

“It was okay for the first quarter or so, and some hot chocolate kept my toes moving for a second. But the combo of the wind and not being huddled among other students made me lose some morale by halftime,” said Ethan Gonda, a UW senior who watched the game from the student section.

According to UW COVID-19 precautions, rows of students were separated by six feet allowing for social distancing protocols to be followed.
