Loss drops Wahine soccer team from postseason contention
The Hawaii soccer team yielded a first-minute goal and fell at UC Irvine 2-1 today, falling from contention for the Big West tournament.
The Rainbow Wahine (9-5-2, 2-4-1 Big West) needed a victory to stay alive for top-four position. They will conclude the season at Cal State Northridge on Sunday, marking the fifth straight year of Big West membership the Wahine failed to reach the league tournament.
Raisa Strom-Okimoto equalized the game in the 11th minute, her sixth score of the season. But the first-place Anteaters (13-5-1, 5-1-1) came back in the 59th minute with the game-winner by Kelsey Texeira.

I think its time for a new coach…every year its the same old same old story…yes, they have a winning record but in conference play they have not made the post season playoffs and Coach Big Mouth Nagamine always comes up with excuses and is really good with her vocal cords…….nothing more and nothing less.
Agree, if it was not for the windfall Nagamine got from the Northwestern transfer #12, the team’s record would have been as bad as the prior 3 years. Style of play is not up to par with other college programs of quality. To much direct play down the middle, little use of the width and build up of offense from the back. Way too predictable, making it easy to defend. Can’t rely on the break away all the time.
