HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) - The Wahine basketball team fell victim to UC Irvine in overtime Thursday night.
Hawaii trailed by 14 points late in the third quarter — but a final push in the fourth gave the ‘Bows a chance.

However, the Anteaters took control of the extra minutes early, scoring the first six points.
The 71-67 loss hands the ‘Bows its second loss in the last three games.
Daejah Phillips led Hawaii with 13 points, six rebounds and four assists.
The ‘Bows went 1-of-18 from beyond the arc.
Hawaii looks to get back in the win column against UC Riverside on Saturday.
