The skinny: No rest for the weary.

After having only eight players in uniform in a loss Tuesday at Hawaii Pacific — Ryley Callaghan is eligible to return from suspension — the Vuls hit the mainland to take on five of the top six teams in the PacWest.

This will be the final meeting between UHH and Dixie as PacWest foes. The first-place Trailblazers, riding a 10-game win streak, will move to the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference next season.

Hawaii 59, Cal St. Fullerton 54

The skinny: Coach Laura Beeman recorded her 100th career win in Manoa in her sixth season, becoming the program’s first coach not named Vince Goo to reach the milestone.

For Beeman, the moment called to mind some of the first players she coached at UH (10-14, 3-8) — Shawna Kuehu, Ashleigh Karaitiana, Destiny King — who started her on the path to 100. Then she came back to the present.

“What I told this team in the locker room is there’s not a team I’d rather do this with,” Beeman said. “We’ve had a tough season, and the culture in our locker room is outstanding. These young ladies have shown their character win or lose, and not a lot of people do that.”

Sarah Toeaina scored 21 points on 8-for-11 shooting and grabbed eight rebounds to move into 15th on the Wahine career scoring chart, passing Brenda McCunn (1,068).

Lahni Salanoa (10 points) had two key late layups set up by Tia Kanoa (seven assists) and Julissa Tago (three) as the Rainbow Wahine closed the game on an 8-2 run, avenging a 69-57 loss at CSUF (7-15, 2-7) to begin conference play.
