A better night at the free throw line is what the University of Hawaii at Hilo got in their 74-53 win over Western New Mexico University in the UHH gym.
The Vulcans (3-1) hit 21 of 23 attempts at the charity stripe compared to the previous night’s 23 of 39 showing.
“They just focused a little bit better,†said UHH Head Coach Jeff Law. “I do think we are good free throw shooters.
“The guys may have had some jitters with last night being the first home game.â€
Balanced scoring carried the Vulcans with Brandon James and Justin Smith picking up 13 points each. Dirk Snel added 11 and Zach Wilde had 10. Wilde also grabbed nine rebounds.
The Vulcans also tallied nine 3-pointers with Snel and James picking up three each.
“I was a lot more confident,†said Snel. “Coach talked to me before the game and just told me I was recruited to shoot and that’s what I did.
“After the first one goes in, you get a smile on your face and it keeps coming from there.â€
