Last weekend, the 6-foot-4 junior posted 16 points and eight rebounds in UH’s 65-51 win over San Francisco and had nine rebounds and a career-high four blocks in the 50-40 loss to Idaho.

• Perez, a 6-4 sophomore, put together an efficient offensive performance in the Bank of Hawai’I Classic. She went 7-for-9 from the field and 3-for-4 from 3-point range in the two-game tournament. She grabbed 10 rebounds in the win over San Francisco and led UH with 12 points on 4-for-5 shooting in a loss to Idaho. She’s second on the team with 8.5 points and 5.0 rebounds per game and is averaging a team-high 30 minutes per game.
