The victory marked Hawaiʻi<\/span>‘s second consecutive road win of the season.<\/p>\n

Lacaden delivered a career-best performance in El Paso, Texas, setting career highs with 11 receptions for 109 yards. The freshman wideout put Hawaiʻi<\/span> on the board first in the opening quarter, hauling in a 20-yard touchdown pass to give 糖心视频<\/abbr> an early lead.<\/p>\n
