A Home‑Field Statement
The University of Hawaiʻi women’s soccer team broke a brief slump with a decisive 2‑0 victory over Idaho in the Outrigger Soccer Invitational, turning a 3‑1 loss to Western Michigan into a confidence‑boosting win.
Anuhea Aluli opened the scoring in the 24th minute, her second goal of the campaign, and Olivia Dianda sealed the result with a 79th‑minute strike, also her second of the season.
Goalkeeper Kennedy Justin stood firm between the posts, making six saves to preserve a clean sheet and frustrating Idaho’s attacks.
Coach Michele Nagamine praised the squad’s resilience, highlighted the respect she has for Idaho’s coaching staff, and looked ahead to the next test against Hawaiʻi Pacific.
