KEAAU — A nice afternoon for some outdoor fun turned wet and gloomy Tuesday afternoon at Kamehameha Schools Hawaii, just as the women’s soccer teams from the University of Hawaii at Hilo and Holy Names were ready to engage in a Pacific West Conference match at Paiea Stadium.

Moments later, the whistle blew, the game was underway and a drizzle became a steady, hard rain for a half-hour or so, washing away any hopes for cohesive play from either side at the start, but none of the atmospherics could help the conference cellar dwellers.

Hawaii Hilo used a first half — and first of the season — goal from junior defender Lucy Maino that was all the Vulcans (5-3-1, 2-2-1 PWC) needed in a methodical 2-0 victory over the hapless Hawks (0-8-1, 0-3-1 PWC).
