Matt Wilkinson scored the lone goal off a cross from Alen Acosta in the 62nd minute as Hawaii Hilo upset 24th-ranked Western Washington 1-0 on Tuesday in Bellingham, Wash.
The Vulcans (1-0) were outshot 29-3 and had just two corner kicks to WWU’s 11. Goalkeeper Nick Williams added six saves to record his first career shutout as a Vulcan.
Hawaii Hilo had won a total of three matches in the past two years before the upset and earned its first road win since September 2015. It’s also their first win on the continent since October 2014.
