Kealakehe guard signs with Rainbow Wahine

Saundra Cariaga, a 5-foot-9 shooting guard from Kealakehe High, signed with the Hawaii women's basketball team yesterday.

"Saundra is a great athlete with a very good jump shot and excellent defensive speed and quickness," Rainbow Wahine coach Vince Goo said.

Cariaga averaged 13.6 points and 5.2 rebounds a game last season en route to All-Big Island Interscholastic Federation first-team honors.

"I wanted to stay home and play in front of my family," said Cariaga, who was also recruited by Brown, Washington State and San Jose State. "I really like the (basketball) program and the school."
