HILLSBORO, Ore. – Behind a pair of early goals that came just seconds apart in the first half, the Hawai’i women’s soccer team closed out nonconference play with a 2-1 win at Portland State Thursday.
Redshirt freshman Amber Gilbert and sophomore Krista Peterson came through with the goals for the Rainbow Wahine (3-2), with Gilbert scoring for the second time this year and Peterson a team-leading third. Goalkeeper Sophie Augustin turned in a career day in the net, recording a career-high eight saves with the only Portland State goal coming on a penalty kick.
The two teams went back-and-forth during the early stages of the match, but the Rainbow Wahine broke through with two goals just 24 seconds apart to go up 2-0. Kelci Sumida took possession of the ball near midfield and found Peterson down the right side, who then delivered a cross to the back post where Gilbert put it away to give UH the lead at the 14:06 mark.
