HILO, Hawai'i---A pair of career-high performances from their opponents derailed the Point Loma Sea Lion's (6-3 overall, 2-1 PacWest) three-game win-streak in a 78-66 to the Hawai'i Hilo Vulcans (3-2 overall, 1-1 PacWest) Monday night.

Hilo rode a fast start and utilized an extremely accurate night from the outside to a wire-to-wire finish, stopping the Sea Lions solid trip to Hawai'i.

The Sea Lions suffered another slow start plagued with foul trouble over the opening twenty minutes.

The Vulcans made every Point Loma misstep hurt as Hawai'i Hilo knocked down 8 of 13 three-point attempts in the period and ballooned their lead to as much as 20. The Sea Lions wiggled it down to 13 before a late bucket in the first half ended PLNU's run put Point Loma in a 42-27 hole at the end of the first half.

Hilo hit 10 three-pointers between the 2^nd and 3^rd quarters as the difference in the game was as much as 20 points.

Point Loma's comeback attempt centered on Haylee Saurette and Cara Liggins. Saurette sparked the offense in the third quarter, leading the Sea Lions with 16 point and 13 rebounds forcing problems on the interior.

The Sea Lions forced Hilo into foul trouble behind Liggins' 12 free-throw attempts.

While the Sea Lions used free-throws to hang around, Hilo combatted that with a continued effectiveness from outside, shooting 60% from three for the night.

On the contrary, Point Loma shot a season low 13% from three, making just 2 of 17 attempts.

Hilo led for the entirety of the ballgame, behind career nights from both Mandi Kawaha and Sara Shimizu who combined for 48 points.

Liggins finished with 18 points for Point Loma. Annika Thayer finished with 13 points.

The loss snaps Point Loma's three-game winning streak and prevents their sweep of the island tour. The Sea Lions will return to San Diego for their first home conference game of the season, hosting the Academy of Art on Saturday at 1:00pm inside Golden Gymnasium.
