UH soccer team ties UC Riverside
Penalty kicks accounted for the scoring and Hawaii and UC Riverside played to a 1-1 tie in a Big West women’s soccer match on Thursday in Riverside, Calif.
UH goalkeeper Lauren Marquez made five saves, including a stop on a penalty kick in the final minute of regulation, and the Rainbow Wahine (0-7-3, 0-3-2 Big West) earned their second straight tie. UC Riverside’s Caela Kaio, a Kamehameha alumna, had six saves for the Highlanders (3-7-3, 0-3-2).
Wahine senior Maki Kono gave the Wahine the lead with the first goal of her UH career in the 31st minute. UC Riverside was awarded a penalty kick about four minutes later and Akari Shimizu of Kailua-Kona converted for the Highlanders to tie the match.
UC Riverside drew another penalty kick in the final minute of regulation, but Marquez came up with the save to force overtime and the teams went scoreless in two 10-minute periods. UH’s Kayla Ryan had a shot off the crossbar in the second overtime.
UH closes its road trip on Sunday at Cal State Fullerton.
