The Hawaii soccer team picked up a valuable point toward Big West tournament qualification with a 1-1 draw in double overtime at Cal State Fullerton on Sunday afternoon.

Kayla Ryan scored her fourth goal of the season seconds into the second half to square the match and UH (5-6-2, 3-0-1 Big West) held on for the remaining 65 minutes to earn its first result against league-leading Fullerton (10-2-3, 3-0-2) in eight years of conference battles. The Titans, who got a Haley Brown goal in the 38th minute and outshot the Wahine 20-13, were previously 7-0 against UH in Big West play.

Senior goalkeeper Lex Mata recorded seven saves as Michele Nagamine’s Wahine are off to the program’s best start through four conference matches played, with four to go. The Wahine host Cal Poly (4-9-2, 1-2-1) on Thursday and UC Santa Barbara (6-4-4, 2-1-1) on Sunday at Waipio Peninsula Soccer Stadium.

UH’s 10 points in the standings trails only Fullerton’s 11. The top four teams make the conference tournament. UH has not qualified in its seven previous years in the Big West.
