HILO, Hawai'i – Another week, another matchup and another down-to-the-wire finish with HPU.

Seven days after falling to the Sharks in overtime on O'ahu, the Vulcans re-matched on the Big Island for round two of Pacific West Conference play, battling to a 66-tied score at the end of regulation before ultimately ending on the wrong side of an 80-75 final arithmetic.

The Vulcans ended the fourth quarter with five consecutive points, making the last bucket with just under two minutes remaining, but both teams would combine to go 0 for 6 from the field to send the contest to the extra five-minute period.

Keirstyn Agonias landed the last of her 17 points at the 2:55 mark of overtime to give Hawai'i Hilo its last lead as HPU's Abby Spurgin strung together the Sharks' next seven points to help them pull away for the win.

The teams had just met last Saturday with HPU getting the best of the Vulcans, 84-78, in overtime.

By The Numbers

• Mandi Kawaha finished with her third career double-double after totaling 10 rebounds and a team-leading 20 points. The fifth-year senior also splashed two 3-pointers to move into sole possession of No. 3 in the Hawai'i Hilo all-time career rankings.
• Agonias shot 7 of 12 from the field and totaled 13 boards for her first career double-double.

HPU then opened the third period with a 9-2 run through the first four minutes.
• The Sharks dominated inside the paint at 44-28 margin with the majority of points coming via Spurgin, who scored 26 down low on the way to a total of 38 with 10 rebounds for a double-double.
