Ahnastaziah Wright netted 16 points and Keilani Stewart added 14 to help the Buffanblu beat Sierra Pacific (Hanford, California), 50-42 in the nightcap of the Punahou Paani Basketball Invitational at Hemmeter Fieldhouse.
Punahou dropped its first two games in the Invitational to Campbell (49-43) and San Juan Hills (San Juan Capistrano, California) (62-41) but got back on track with a win over the Golden Bears.
