Rainbow Wahine seniors were honored after tonight’s game against Cal Poly.
The Hawaii soccer team battled Cal Poly to a 1-1 double-overtime draw on its senior day at Waipio Peninsula Soccer Stadium.
UH (6-8-1, 1-4-1 Big West) needed the three points of a win to stay in the Big West tournament hunt with two road games remaining. Instead, they received just a point and remained in last place in the BWC.
Senior forward Sonest Furtado gave UH a second-half lead, but the Rainbow Wahine were unable to make it stand up.
UH honored seniors Furtado, Dani Crawford, Keala Parker-Lee, Paige Okazaki, Kellsie Gleason, Bo Samson, Spenser Jaye and Evelyn Fierros afterward.
Furtado put UH up a goal in the 58th minute on a breakaway effort off a pass from Raisa Strom-Okimoto. Furtado beat the last defender and juked the goalkeeper for a tap-in.
Cal Poly answered in the 74th on a header goal by Emily Hansen, when she beat Alexis Mata to the ball in the box.
Sarah Lau saved UH early in the first OT with a goal-line deflection of a CP rocket shot that got past Mata.
