Rainbow Wahine soccer earned its first win of the season on Saturday, a 2-0 shutout of Idaho at Lower Campus Field in Mānoa. The result gave Hawai‘i an early confidence boost in front of the home crowd.
Senior Anuhea Aluli put the Rainbow Wahine ahead midway through the opening half, slotting home her second goal of the young season to make it 1-0. Hawai‘i continued to press after the opener and kept the Vandals under pressure with sustained spells of possession.
The hosts doubled the advantage after the break to seal the 2-0 final, and the back line saw out the clean sheet to close the afternoon. Solid goalkeeping and organized defending kept Idaho from finding a way back.
