LÄ'IE — Stumbling through a game it dominated yesterday, a perturbed Dana Takahara-Dias stopped yelling and called a timeout.

Her Rainbow Wahine basketball team was up by 19, but they had started the second half with four turnovers and were running a bit wild against smaller Division II opponent Brigham Young-Hawai'i.

"We have to keep our composure, we can't lose our character, we have to do the fundamentals correctly," Hawai'i's Katie Wilson said of her coach's words in the timeout. "I think there was a bit of a slip in the second half there, but we pulled back up."

They regrouped and cleaned up in a 76-46 win over BYU-Hawai'i at the Hukilau Invitational at the Cannon Activities Center.

Wilson, a sophomore reserve center, scored 17 points to lead Hawai'i (3-4) in its second win in as many days. Dita Liepkalne scored 16 points and Allie Patterson added 10 in front of 151.

Hawai'i plays Brigham Young (4-2) at 1 p.m. today on the tournament's final day. BYU-Hawai'i (1-2) plays San Francisco (3-6) at 4 p.m.

"We feel it doesn't matter who gets into the game and what combinations we throw out there, there's still certain expectations and high standards that they must execute and we didn't feel that we were executing our game plan and it was not a unit out there," Takahara said. "So we had to stop play and make sure we got back to basics and refocus so we can finish the game on a good strong note."

The Rainbow Wahine went to the bench in the second half, and Wilson had another strong night. A 6-foot-3 post, she dominated inside on 6-of-7 shooting and even drained a 3-pointer from the left baseline for a 66-42 lead with 6:02 left.

"We don't really look at who we're playing, we know we have to work hard no matter who we're playing, if it's UCLA or anyone else," said Wilson, who scored five points and played a key defensive role in Thursday's win over San Francisco. "The team dynamics now, we're bonding, reading each other's movements a bit better on the court and off."

Takahara saw improvement in her team's defense.

"I do believe on a given night, you cannot have a bad night on defense," Takahara said. "I really do feel in our heart, we're improving on defense tremendously as every basketball game we get under our belt."

Hawai'i led 18-3 six minutes into the game and despite the difference in classifications, BYUH coach Wendy Anae said "it's just two teams playing basketball with different jerseys on.

"We just wanted to come out and play with heart, put in a good effort and do good things," Anae said.

Mahina Gago and Kristen Hartley scored nine points each for the Seasiders.

In the earlier game, BYU beat San Francisco, 72-60.
