Challenges for Cal State Fullerton Titans Basketball Against Hawaii

The Hawaii women?s basketball team faced significant struggles during their recent games against the Cal State Fullerton Titans, resulting in a disappointing 82-80 loss. This defeat marks the continuation of a tough season for the Rainbow Wahine, who have now lost five consecutive games after starting strong with a 4-0 record. Key issues for Hawaii included a lack of ball security, as they committed 27 turnovers, leading to a significant disadvantage in points off turnovers. Coach Laura Beeman highlighted the need for improvement, noting that the team made repeated mistakes and lacked effort in crucial moments. Despite freshman Bailey Flavell?s scoring prowess, with 17 points in this game, her high turnover count reflected the team?s struggles under pressure. The Titans, benefiting from a coaching change and a strong performance on the boards, managed to capitalize on these mistakes, ending a 12-game losing streak against Hawaii. Looking ahead, Hawaii hopes to turn things around in upcoming games, particularly against Hawaii Hilo and in the Maui Classic.
