No. 6: Vulcans Rally for Stunning Win over Knights

Our countdown of the top UH Hilo games of 2019-20 takes us today to No. 6 when the men's soccer team rallied for a 2-1 stunner over Academy of Art.

On November 14, in their second-to-last match of the season, the Vulcans were hosting Academy of Art under the lights. Trailing 1-0 at halftime, the Vulcans evened the match in the 66th minute on a goal by Kaleihalia Tolentino-Perry, and the match looked headed to overtime in the final tense moments. At the Urban Knights' end of the field, an ART corner kick was rebounded by Robert George, who raced up the sideline towards the Urban Knight goal. He was upended, earning a foul call with 16 seconds left. Senior Jorge Martinez, who had assisted Tolentino-Perry's goal earlier, set up for a penalty kick and calmly flicked in the winning goal, sending his teammates racing in celebration. It was the Vulcans' second straight win during their final homestand, and their fifth victory of the season.
