Wahine remain perfect in WAC

The Hawaii women's tennis team improved to 3-0 in the Western Athletic Conference with a 6-1 win over UTEP yesterday at the El Paso Tennis Club.

The Rainbow Wahine (5-3) won the doubles point to start the day after Renata Camargo and Kana Aikawa defeated Danielle King and Tea Spirta 9-8.

Hawaii then won five of the six singles matches with Lauren Fitzgerald, Sylvia Jaros, Paige Mainor and Camargo winning in straight sets.

Assily plans to join Warriors in 2005

Kaiser High safety Chris Assily accepted a scholarship from the University of Hawaii football team on Saturday, but won't officially join the program until January of 2005.

Assily said he will enroll in school in the fall to better prepare himself academically. He will likely play linebacker for the Warriors. The 6-foot, 195-pounder also competed in basketball and track.

Kaiser head coach David Maieva, a former UH linebacker, said Assily will be a good one for the Warriors, who originally signed only three players with local ties. Assily is officially a grayshirt. He will participate in spring ball next year.
