MEDIA RELEASE

A 10-0 second half start gave the University of Hawaii at Hilo the edge they needed to defeat Grace Bible College 78-71 in the UHH gymnasium.

The Vulcans improved to 5-4 while GBC is 12-8.

After eight first-half ties, the Vulcans held a 39-36 lead at the break. A GBC free throw narrowed the margin to two when Bryan Ngo’s pair of free throw started the decisive run.

“There were times when we did what we wanted to do,” said UHH head coach Jeff Law. “We had some lapses on the defensive side but more on the offensive side. Guys just wanted to take jump shots and for whatever reason that’s usually when other teams make a run on us. Guys on the floor need to realize that’s what hurts us.”

Justin Shipman led the Vulcans with 22 points. Ngo added 17, Zach Wilde had 14 and Lavell Shipman added 11.

Andrew Gipson had six points and 11 assists without a turnover.

“I like that,” Law said. “We had 20 assists as a team. I liked our entry passes.”
