The Aggies put their 9 game winning streak on the line today at 2 pm when Hawai'i visits the Pavilion. The Ags have won 15 of their last 16 games and Hawai'i is responsible for the only loss.
The Rainbow Wahine beat the Aggies on the island back on January 12th. A 4th quarter collapse by the Aggies allowed Hawai'i to come from behind and win the game. Since then the Ags have reeled off 9 straight and are currently sitting in first place in the Big West by 2.5 games over CSUN.
As typical, Hawai'i is strong and physical and they'll use their strength to try and control the pace and keep the game a low scoring affair. The Aggies have had an unusual 9 day layoff after their last game and, hopefully, will be rested and ready to go rather than feeling sluggish after a long break from action.
Karly Eaton was 5-6 from 3 and Kourtney Eaton was 4-6 from 3. 9-12 for the twins is pretty darn good and 62% 3 point shooting as a team will win you some games.
You gotta love those Eaton twins! If the Eaton parents aren’t having a glass of great Washington State wine tonight for their great kids I don’t know what else to say. Great win by the Eaton twins and others!
Karley coming into her own as a force on the court feels so huge for the depth on this team. Morgan and the twins all having great seasons at the same time must be the stuff of nightmares for Big West coaches trying to prep for our games.
A big unrelated, but I was very encouraged by an alumni mixer I went to on Saturday, where the CAA staff present told everyone in no uncertain terms how amazing the women's team has been and how we all needed to get to a game to see Morgan play before she graduates.
The official attendance for the Hawai'i game was 934 which is pretty good and the fans were very supportive and vocal. They have a solid backing of fans especially from the community.
Interesting note that Hawaii played without their leading scorer Mekena Woodfolk. She has quit the team. Reason: she’s pregnant. Which is actually a pretty good reason. Hopefully she can come back next season. She’s very good!
