Vulcans win again

Justin Smith scored 22 points to lead Hawaii-Hilo over Westminister (Mo.) in a nonconference men’s basketball game last night, 77-55 at UHH gym.

Dirk Snel added nine points, all on 3-pointers, for the Vulcans (8-3). Joe James and Adam Mallette led the Blue Jays (5-5) with nine points.

Last night’s runaway was quite a contrast from Wednesday’s victory, which saw the Vulcans rally from a 12-point deficit late to pull out a 74-73 win over Concordia (Mich.).

Adrian den Dulk scored 16 points to lead five Hawaii Pacific players in double figures as the Sea Warriors men’s basketball team snapped a six-game losing streak last night, 77-74, over Concordia (Mich.).

Royal Edwards came off the bench for 15 points for the Sea Warriors (4-7). Marius Williams led the Cardinals (8-7) with 24 points.
