Like Brunton, the 5’11” sophomore competed in only four games Big West last season due to a knee injury. This season, however, Cockett has added extra firepower for the Wahine, ranking second on the team with a 14.2 ppg average. A major factor in UH’s success is its schedule. The team has played 13 of its 18 games at home in the Special Events Arena, where it has an 11-2 mark. But to their credit, the Wahine have also been success­ ful on the road with a perfect 5-0 record. However, the team still has games remaining at Long Beach State, UNLV, New Mexico State and UCSB. I The bout against the Gauchos on Friday will be a rematch of the Jan. 21 contest in which Hawai’i defeated Santa Barbara 64-57. The game will also mark the final league matchup between the two schools, since the Wahine will move to the Western Athletic Confer­ ence next season.

  • Moore, Paris Headline Naismith Trophy Early Season Watch List
    MOORE, PARIS HEADLINE NAISMITH TROPHY EARLY SEASON WATCH LIST Duo Seeks To Join Exclusive Company ATLANTA (Dec. 19, 2008) – Only five women student-athletes have ever won the Naismith Trophy in both high school and college, but with outstanding seasons in 2009 Maya Moore and Courtney Paris aspire to join that coveted group. They are off to fast starts as they headline the Naismith Trophy presented by AT&T early season watch list, the Atlanta Tipoff Club announced today. The watch list was compiled by the Atlanta Tipoff Club’s Board of Selectors, which based its criteria on player performances from the previous year and expectations for the 2008-09 college basketball season. The watch list does not include incoming freshmen, although those student- athletes will be considered in the first vote in February, 2009. The Naismith Trophy presented by AT&T will be awarded at the 2009 NCAA Women’s Final Four in St. Louis, MO. “It’s a tremendous thrill for us to watch high school winners grow and achieve even greater success on the college level,” said Gary Stokan, Atlanta Tipoff Club president. “That said, it will take an amazing season for someone to emerge as the Naismith Trophy winner because the talent pool is incredibly deep. We look forward to watching this play out over the next four months.” For the sixth consecutive season, presenting sponsor AT&T will once again set the standard in allowing fans to participate in determining this year’s winner. Through the power and ease of text messaging, fan voting will account for an unprecedented 25% of the final results – more than any other national college basketball award.

MARY JO KANE: As we enter a new century, we are in what I call the Best of Times and the Worst of Times with respect to media representations of female athletes. There has been both widespread acceptance and movement of women in sport that was unheard of thirty years ago, and at the same time there’s been an increasing backlash about their success and their presence. MICHAEL MESSNER: I think not too long ago, it was very easy to equate athleticism, strength, physical power, with men, and by contrast to think about women as weak, as supportive for men, purely as sexual objects. Now that landscape as changed somewhat with the tremendous growth of girls and women’s sports. [Sports commentator] There’s Rebecca Lobo with a jumper! MICHAEL MESSNER: Everybody has the opportunity to see strong, powerful, physically competent, competitive women and I think that really challenges that simple gender dichotomy that we used to take so much for granted.
