Wahine win 3 track events at Northridge
Ashley Monfort won the 400 meters, Mallory Gilbert the high jump and Patricia Gauthier the pole vault, giving Hawaii three individual event wins yesterday at the Northridge Spring Break Open, the Rainbow Wahine's first action of the outdoor track season.
Gilbert tied a personal best at 5 feet, 7 inches, and teammate Emily Sheppard finished second. Rainbow Wahine Jessica Trujillo and Samantha Weaver finished 2-3 in the high jump.
UH had nine personal best performances in the meet, along with five second-place and four third-place finishes.
Wahine tennis swept, tied yesterday
Oklahoma swept Hawaii 6-0 yesterday in women's tennis at the UH Tennis Complex.
The Sooners won five singles matches in straight sets, and clinched the win without playing a doubles match.
Also, after a rain delay that went on for days, Hawaii and Portland called their women's tennis dual a draw yesterday with a 3-3 tie.
The final singles match was rained out Monday. Thanks to weather, the two teams hadn't been able to play by the time the Pilots had to fly home yesterday.
Portland had won all three doubles matches and singles at Nos. 4 and 6. But the Rainbow Wahine were winners at Nos. 1-3 in singles. Kana Aikawa, Chloe Bihag and Samanta Cappella won matches for Hawaii.

The Vulcans won the first game 6-0 and the second 2-0 at Honokaa. Leo Sing Chow pitched a three-hit complete-game shutout in the second game.
