DENVER, Colo. – Alyssa Padron (San Pedro, Calif./Palos Verdes HS), Teani Arakawa (Makawao, Hawai'i/King Kekaulike HS) and Filippa Graneld (Stockholm, Sweden/Stockholms Idrottsgymnasium) each netted goals as the Hawai'i Hilo women's soccer team blanked Regis, 3-0, Monday afternoon in non-conference action at the Regis Turf Field.
With the win, the Vulcans completed their non-conference road slate unbeaten at 4-0 to start the season.
Padron scored just over 10 minutes into Monday's game to give the Vulcans an early lead. Graneld had the assist before netting a goal of her own later in the match at the 69th-minute mark.
Sandwiched between was Arakawa's score in the 30th minute when she was able to cut her way toward the opposing penalty arc before sneaking a shot past the goalkeeper through the lower left slot of the goal.
Both of Graneld's and Arakawa's goals were assisted by Nanea Wall (Kealakekua, Hawai'i/Konawaena HS).
Hawai'i Hilo had a 7-3 shots-on-goal advantage over Regis.
Recently named Pacific West Conference Defender of the Week, freshman goalkeeper Lolo Retsky (Calabasas, Calif./Sierra Canyon School) made her fourth start and posted three saves for her second consecutive shutout.
Katelyn Martin took the loss in goal for the Rangers, totaling up four saves.
