Weekly honors for UH's Smith

Two consecutive double-double performances earned Hawaii senior center Tanya Smith the weekly honor in women's basketball from the Western Athletic Conference.

At the Women of Troy Classic hosted last week by USC, Smith scored a season-high 21 points and had 12 rebounds in the loss to Portland State. In the win over Grambling State, she had 13 points and 13 rebounds.

Smith also was named to the all-tournament team, her third such honor this season.
