It’s been a long journey for UH-Hilo senior Keani Shirai to experience her ride off into the sunset on a soccer field.
The Vulcans defeated Chaminade 2-1 to close their season on Saturday at Kamehameha’s Paiea Stadium, snapping a six-game losing streak.
Tiera Arakawa scored in the first half, and Jaimie Salas added the game-winner in the second for UHH (7-9-1, 4-8-1 PacWest), which produced a nice sendoff for seniors Jenna Hufford, Kayela Santiago, Milana Wolsleben, Astrid Perez, Sophie Satterlee, and Shirai.
For the men, UHH beat Chaminade 3-2, playing a man down for 76 minutes after Jake Sagami was issued a red card and ejected.
