Advertiser Staff
Karen Weatherby's goal in the 72nd minute, off an assist from Kelly White, lifted visiting University of Hawai'i-Hilo to a 3-2 victory over Hawai'i Pacific yesterday in a Pacific West Conference women's soccer match.
Weatherby's goal helped the Vulcans win their third straight and improve to 3-1. The Sea Warriors fell to 1-3.
"We were playing dead tired out there," said UHH coach Travis Clark. "But we're a long way from where we were at the beginning of the season and playing competitively and scoring."
HPU took a 1-0 lead just 1:22 into the match when Audrey Haerle scored off a cornerkick by Kerianne Pascua.
UHH tied at the 40:17 mark on White's goal off a pass from Weatherby and made it 2-1 at 58:06 on Healani Leite-Ah Yo's header off White's cornerkick.
The Sea Warriors came back five minutes later to tie the match on Haerle's header off a cornerkick by Pascua.
