The University of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> at Hilo women’s soccer<\/a> team claimed a 3-0 win over Fresno Pacific University in Pacific West Conference action at home on October 15.

Following the win, UH<\/abbr> Hilo remained ranked No. 9<\/a> in the United Soccer Coaches NCAA<\/abbr> Division II<\/abbr> Rankings, released on October 18.<\/p>\n

A few minutes later, the Vulcans were able to get behind the Fresno Pacific defenders thanks to a long ball from Jodi Lillie<\/strong> and some nifty passing as Daelenn Tokunaga<\/strong> found Grace VerHage<\/strong> through the seam for a 40-foot score.<\/p>\n

To cap off the scoring burst, Graneld took the ball deep one-on-one with a Fresno Pacific defender before crossing it back for Alyssa Padron<\/strong> to knock in the shot from the top of the penalty area.<\/p>\n

The Vulcans notched eight shots in each half to hold a 16-5 advantage over Fresno Pacific.<\/p>\n

Goalkeeper Lolo Retsky<\/strong> had one save in goal to notch her fifth complete shutout of the season.<\/p>\n

Verhage\u2019s fourth score in PacWest<\/abbr> play led to a tie at No.1 in goals and points among all conference scorers. She shares the top of the conference with Graneld, who has two game-winning goals.<\/p>\n

With this game, UH<\/abbr> Hilo improved to 9-0-2 overall and 4-0-1 in PacWest<\/abbr> play.<\/p>\n
