The upcoming University of Hawai'i soccer schedule includes two teams that advanced to last year's NCAA Tournament.

The Rainbow Wahine are coming off their best season in school history, compiling a 15-5-2 record while winning the Western Athletic Conference tournament title and advancing to NCAA Tournament, both firsts for the program.

Hawai'i defeated Fresno State, 1-0, to win last year's WAC crown, then lost to Colorado, 2-0, in the NCAA Tournament first round.

Nine starters and 17 letterwinners return for the Rainbow Wahine this year, including WAC Offensive Player of the Year Ambree Ako and WAC Defensive Player of the Year Tehane Higa. Coach Pinsoom Tenzing was last year's WAC Coach of the Year. Advertiser State Player of the Year Kanani Taaca of Kamehameha is one of five recruits coming in this year.
