Wahine soccer winless with loss to K-State
Despite striking first, the University of Hawaii women’s soccer team fell 3-1 to Kansas State on Saturday afternoon at the UH Lower Campus Field in a game moved up a day due to the tropical storm threat.

Anuhea Aluli opened the scoring for UH less than four minutes into the match off a pass from Jas Cayetano, Aluli’s first goal as a Rainbow Wahine. The Wildcats (2-0-0) followed with goals by Gabby DeMers (28th minute), Anna Pagano (47th minute) and Allison Marshall (52nd minute).
In Saturday’s other game, Seattle and Texas Tech tied 0-0.
