MEDIA RELEASE

University of Hawaii at Hilo seniors Bryan Ngo and Kevin Bruce gave it their all in a last second gasp as the Vulcans fell short in their season finale, a 66-63 loss to Chaminade University in a Pacific West Conference game in the UHH gymnasium.

The Vulcans finish the season at 13-13 overall and 7-9 in the PacWest while the Silverswords are 10-15 overall and also 7-9 in the PacWest.

With seven seconds left on the clock and down by three, Ngo poked the ball away from Silversword guard Steven Bennett. Bruce tracked the ball down and kicked it back to Ngo. Prevented from driving to the basket and needing a 3-pointer to send the game into overtime, Ngo got the ball to Bruce whose shot bounced off the front of the rim.

Justin Smith led the Vulcans with 20 points and was a perfect 9 for 9 from the field and 2 for 2 at the charity stripe. The junior forward also pulled in seven rebounds and dished out three assists.

Lavell Shipman added 13 points while Bruce had 11 points.
