Hawaii soccer adjusted its weekend slate, moving a planned Sunday home match against Kansas State to Saturday to stay ahead of Hurricane Lala’s approach to the islands. Playing on campus, the Rainbow Wahine opened brightly and netted their first goal of the season.
Senior Anuhea Aluli scored to put Hawai‘i in front, giving the Rainbow Wahine early momentum. Kansas State later responded and finished on top, handing Hawai‘i a loss to close the opening weekend.
The schedule shift was announced to ensure the contest could be completed before deteriorating weather, according to university officials. Hawai‘i will monitor conditions tied to Hurricane Lala as it looks ahead to its next fixture.
