College basketball: In spirited showing, Vulcans down Chaminade

Feb. 23, 2018

As penultimate performances go, UH-Hilo’s men’s basketball team put on quite a show.

The Vulcans put an emphatic end to a six-game losing streak Thursday night, beating Chaminade 94-86 at Afook-Chinen Civic Auditorium.

Relying primarily on the contributions of just seven players, Randan Berinobis was all over the court with 25 points, nine rebounds and seven assists.

“That was as gutty a performance as this team has ever had,” coach GE Coleman said in a release. “It would have been easy to fold up shop after all this group has been through this month and all season (injuries), but they stepped up and played at a very high emotional level against a very good Chaminade team.”
