Sophomore forward Adrienne Johnson went for a career-high 23 points on 9-for-15 shooting and grabbed nine rebounds to lead Louisiana Tech over Hawaii, 89-71,
yesterday at the Stan Sheriff Center. The Rainbow Wahine (6-20, 3-10 Western Athletic Conference) were going for their first winning streak of the season but were undone by 54.1 percent shooting from the Lady Techsters (16-11, 9-4). LaTech improved to 20-3 in the all-time series against UH. The Wahine play the third contest of their four-game homestand on Friday against Idaho. POSTED: 01:30 a.m. HST, Feb 23, 2009 It was almost unfair. Louisiana Tech punished the Hawaii women’s basketball team with a killer combination of efficient post play and dead-eye shooting from the perimeter in an 89-71 victory yesterday at the Stan Sheriff Center.
A gathering of 236 saw the Rainbow Wahine (6-20, 3-10 Western Athletic Conference) fail to cover the Lady Techsters’ twin post threats, Shanavia Dowdell and Adrienne Johnson, and simultaneously keep tabs on LaTech’s 3-point shooters.
