There is life remaining in the Hawaii Hilo women’s basketball team after a sometime bizarre but ultimately delightful 54-51 win over Point Loma Nazarene Tuesday night at The Civic.
The victory left the Vulcans, 10-9 in Pacific West Conference play and 10-14 overall while Point Loma fell to 10-8 and 17-9, in the sixth and last playoff spot. Hawaii Hilo plays its final game Saturday at 5 p.m. against second place Azusa Pacific (16-1 and 22-3 overall), winners of 10 straight prior to Tuesday’s game at BYU-Hawaii.
A win Saturday, combined with one more Point Loma loss against either Hawaii Pacific (Thursday), or Chaminade (Saturday), would get the Vulcans into the postseason tournament.
