HONOLULU, Hawai'i – Despite holding Hawai'i to zero field goals in the last four minutes of Saturday's game in the American Savings Bank Rainbow Wahine Showdown, the University of Tennessee at Martin women's basketball team could not complete the comeback and fell to the host Rainbow Wahine, 47-39, at SimpliFiArena at the Stan Sheriff Center in Honolulu.

After a neck-and-neck first quarter, the Skyhawks surged ahead in the second and took a 24-17 lead into the locker room at the break. However, the third quarter would be unkind to UT Martin, as the 'Bows clamped down on defense and outscored the Skyhawks, 22-4, in the frame.

In the fourth quarter, UT Martin once again outscored Hawai'i, 11-8, and did not allow a field goal over the last 4:06 seconds of the game. However, the rally was not enough in the end as the Skyhawks fell, 47-39.

Anaya Brown led the Skyhawks for the fifth consecutive game Saturday, this time with 11 points. Daejah Richmond followed Brown with eight points, while Kenley McCarn added six. On the boards, McCarn led the way with seven, while Richmond pulled down six.

The Skyhawks conclude action in The Aloha State Sunday when the take on Fresno State at 4 p.m. CT.
