Strom-Okimoto’s golden goal lifts Wahine past Arizona State
Raisa Strom-Okimoto put in the golden goal in the 96th minute, leading the Hawaii soccer team to a 1-0 overtime road win against Arizona State in Tempe, Ariz., today.
Strom-Okimoto put aside a series of near misses — the winning ball was her eighth attempt — when she got far upfield on a breakaway, dribbled to the left goalpost then fired to the far post past the ASU goalkeeper and in.
It was the first road win for the Rainbow Wahine at a Pac-12 opponent since 2013.
