Hawaii’s Eliza Ammendolia and Maki Kono scored two goals each to lead the Rainbow Wahine soccer team to a 4-0 rout over Cal State Bakersfield in a Big West match on Sunday in Bakersfield, Calif.
UH posted its highest goal total since a 4-0 win over Cal Poly on Oct. 19, 2018 and completed a sweep of its road trip to improve to 2-9-3 overall and 2-5-2 in Big West play.
Ammendolia opened the scoring just over seven minutes into the match. Her initial attack was turned away, but she tracked down the ball, turned and fired a shot over Roadrunners goalkeeper Flavia Burrell and into the far corner of the goal.
Kono gave UH a 2-0 lead in the 12th minute when her corner kick went through Burrell’s hands and into the goal. The senior scored again in the 39th minute with a shot from the top of box into the upper right corner of the net. Kayla Ryan was credited with the assist.
Ammendolia added to the lead less than three minutes into the second half on a low shot into the left side of the goal. UH took 27 shots to CSUB’s eight and put 13 on goal to just two for the Roadrunners (1-14-2, 0-7-1).
The Rainbow Wahine close the season on Sunday with a senior day game against UC San Diego at Waipio Peninsula Soccer Stadium. The match is scheduled for 11 a.m.
