BAKERSFIELD, Calif. \u2014 Freshman Bailey Flavell’s<\/a> first career double-double helped the University of Hawai’i women’s basketball team fend off CSU Bakersfield in a 64-52 win on Thursday at the Icardo Center in Bakersfield, Calif.
\n\u00a0
\nThe Rainbow Wahine\u00a0(9-9, 3-5 Big West) opened up a 27-point lead in the third quarter before the host Roadrunners surged back to close to within seven late in the fourth. UH held CSUB (6-13, 1-8) scoreless over the final 1:56 and extended the lead from the free-throw line to finish off its third straight victory and first road win of the season.
\n\u00a0
\nFlavell matched her season high with 22 points on 7-for-16 shooting from the field and a 7-for-8 performance from the free-throw line. She snagged her season-best 10th rebound of the game with eight seconds left to secure UH’s second double-double of the season.
\n\u00a0
\nFellow freshman Keiara Curtis<\/a> extended her streak of double-digit scoring performances with 13 points on 4-for-7 shooting and set her season high with nine rebounds. She also tied her season high with four assists. Senior Saniyah Neverson<\/a> also threatened a double-double with nine rebounds and eight assists.
\n\u00a0
\nPoints were tough to come by early on with UH taking a 10-7 lead through the first 10 minutes. Flavell scored four early points and UH led 10-3 when Rebecca Moors<\/a> banked in a 3-pointer.

\nCSUB scored the final nine points of the quarter and extended the run to 14-0 early in the fourth to close to 54-41. Perez ended the run with a 3-pointer and Neverson scored in the paint to give UH a 59-44 lead with 6:49 left. That would be UH’s last field goal of the game as CSUB chipped away and closed to 59-52 on two free throws at the 1:56 mark. But Curtis and Flavell combined to make five free throws down the stretch finish off UH’s 12th straight win in the series with the Roadrunners.
