It was tough and tight all night, and at the end it was just a bit too much for the University of Hawaii at Hilo in a competitive and edgy 72-66 loss to Seattle Pacific at Hilo Civic on Friday night.
The Falcons managed a two-game non conference sweep over the Vulcans after a victor earlier in Seattle in the championship game of an early season tournament in the SPU gym
The victory lifted the Falcons to 5-5 and knocked UHH back to 3-6.
After the game Hawaii Hilo coach GE Coleman visited the SPU locker room to tell the Falcons that some rough play and hard feelings at the end was out of the hands of the players.
