Sharks stun rival Vulcans, 1-0

KEAAU, Hawai`i—This one is gonna sting for a bit.

PacWest title-contending Hawai`i Hilo suffered a setback on Saturday afternoon and it came courtesy of their rival. Hawai`i Pacific dealt the Vulcans a 1-0 loss, dropping UH Hilo out of a second-place tie with Azusa Pacific and Biola, who both came into the day at 4-1-1.

The Vulcans are now 4-2-1 in Pacific West Conference play and 7-3-2 overall. Hawaii Pacific improved to 5-5-4 on the year and to 3-2-2 in league play.

UH Hilo will have to regroup in a hurry, with first-place Point Loma (6-0-1) visiting on Monday.

The Sharks, who lost a non-conference match to the Vulcans in September by the same 1-0 score, made their first official shot of the day a game-winner.

In the 36th minute, off a corner kick, HPU's Ebony Madrid took a cross from Josefine von der Burg, and from the middle of the pack headed it through the mob into the net. It was HPU's first shot on goal of the afternoon.

The Sharks finished with five shots in the first half, two on goal. The Vulcans had seven shots in the first 45 minutes, four of them saved by Lauren Spencer. UH Hilo had four corner kicks but weren't able to convert.

With the 1-0 lead, the Sharks clamped down on defense in the second half. The Vulcans didn't get a shot off for the first 23 minutes before they started to get revved up.

In the final 10 minutes, UHH had three shots on goal, including a sliding attempt by Carlie Reader, that was saved by a diving Spencer. Callye Lahmann had a shot that had to be saved, and the Vulcans had four corner kicks, but couldn't get a good look as the HPU defense defended well.

The Vulcans had eight corner kicks in the match, and finished with 11 shots on the day, three of them by Reader. Spencer, who recorded her fourth shutout, had seven saves. HPU had seven shots, four of them on goal.

UHH's Bailey Cahill had three saves.

The Vulcans will play their final home match of the 2018 season on Monday evening, hosting Point Loma at 7 p.m. After the match, 12 Vulcans players will be honored on Senior Night.
