Hawai'i sophomore forward Ambree Ako, junior defender Tehane Higa, freshman defender Chelsea Deptula and freshman midfielder/forward Mari Punzal scored in a 4-0 win over No. 26 Kansas in the season-opener in front of 1,250 fans tonight at the Waipi'o Peninsula Soccer Stadium.

"It was so awesome," Ako said. "To win 4-0 against a very good team boosts our confidence way up."

Kansas plays Auburn tomorrow night at 7 in the Ohana Hotels & Resorts No Ka Oi tournament and the Rainbow Wahine and Tigers conclude the tournament Monday night at 7.

Tenzing said he was happy "we were able to beat (Kansas) comprehensively," but the Rainbow Wahine are "not there" in terms of playing attractive soccer.

He wasn't satisfied with his team's long ball and choice to play the ball vertically, beating the Jayhawks with athleticism rather than soccer ability.

"We have things to work on," he said. "Last year, even in defeat, I was satisfied with the way we played. Tonight I was not satisfied."
