OHANA Hotels & Resorts Shootout
This is the third tournament Hawai'i has hosted this season and the second in two weeks.
Hawai'i's offense is statistically among the leaders in the nine-team Western Athletic Conference. The Rainbow Wahine rank third in shots (95), points (29), assists (9) and are tied for third in goals (10). UH begins conference play Oct. 11 against Tulsa.
Hawai'i's offense will be led by strikers Arlene Devitt and Natasha Kai. The two have combined to score six of the team's 10 goals this season. Devitt was named to the Outrigger Hotels & Resorts Soccer Classic all-tournament team last week along with teammates Krystalynn Ontai, Jessica Uecker and Mia Moe. Goalie Mahie Atay is among the WAC leaders in goals against average (3rd, 1.59), saves (5th, 25) and saves per game (6th, 5.00).
Long Island is trying regain the success it had three years ago when it won the Northeast Conference title and made a trip to the NCAA tournament. Rosette Rough leads the Blackbirds in scoring with four points and two goals.
