UH soccer falls in road trip finale

The Hawaii women’s soccer fell 1-0 to UC Riverside in the second game of a two-game Big West road trip on Sunday at UCR Soccer Stadium.

UC Riverside’s Amelie Araya bagged the game-winner in the first half. Her 31st minute goal was the only score of the defensive contest. The Highlanders defense is the first to hold the Rainbow Wahine scoreless this season.

Hawaii matched UCR with eight shots, three of which were on target. Krista Peterson finished with one shot-on-goal out of three shots to lead UH.

The Wahine will return home for a two-game homestand against UC San Diego (Thursday, 7 p.m.) and UC Irvine (Oct. 1, 4 p.m.) at Waipio Peninsula Soccer Stadium.
