Women’s Basketball comeback falls short vs. Hawaii Hilo

The Dixie State women's basketball team fell, 64-52, to Hawaii Hilo on Thursday in the team's opening game of a three-game Hawaiian Island road trip.

The Trailblazers (4-19, 4-13 PacWest) trailed 47-18 at the 7:27 mark of the third quarter, but refused to go down easy. DSU closed the quarter on a 10-2 run to pull to within 49-28 at the end of period.

Dixie State continued the run into the fourth quarter, scoring the first four points of the quarter to cut the lead to 49-32 at the 8:28 mark. UHH answered with a jump shot, but DSU answered with another run, this time a 13-4 count capped by a Matti Ventling (Las Vegas, Nev./Las Vegas HS) 3-pointer to pull to within 55-45 with 2:36 to play. The Trailblazers would later cut the lead to 60-52 on a Shelby Kassuba (Sammamish, Wash./Skyline HS) jumper, but would not score again as UHH clinched the 64-52 victory.

DSU shot 31 percent (20-of-63) from the field, eight percent (2-of-25) from beyond the arc, and 58 percent (10-of-17) from the free throw line. Lisa VanCampen (Morgan, Utah/Morgan HS) recorded a double-double with 15 points and a career-high 13 rebounds, while Kassuba added 13 points.

Dixie State returns to action on Saturday vs. BYU-Hawaii in Laie, Hawaii. Tipoff is set for 4:30 p.m Hawaii Time (7:30 p.m. MT).
