HPU's Olanda nets three goals

WHITTIER, Calif. -- The Hawaii Pacific University women's soccer team won its second consecutive road match yesterday by completely dominating Whittier College, 3-0.

The Sea Warriors (5-3) took 22 shots and senior Myrissa Olanda found the back of the net with all three of her attempts.

Olanda, a 4-foot-11 striker, gave HPU a quick lead when she scored two minutes into the match with an assist from Sarah Catanzaro.

Sixteen minutes later, Olanda took a pass from Erika Evans and notched her second goal. At 60 minutes, Olanda scored again, this time with an assist from Tracie Ifuku.

Whittier (1-6) had just two shots.

SEASIDERS LOSE: At Thousand Oaks, Calif., all goals came within a four-minute span as California Lutheran edged the Brigham Young University-Hawaii men's soccer team, 2-1, yesterday in a nonconference match.

The Kingsmen scored first at 68 minutes, 12 seconds on Oskar Kantoft's goal off a turnover.

Twenty-one seconds later, midfielder Tobias Schade took a cross from forward Elias Akinaka and scored at 68:33 for BYUH (1-4).

However, CLU's Brian Collins broke the tie with a goal at 72:23.

COLLINS FUND-RAISER: The University of Hawaii Letterwinners Club will conduct a fund-raising drive for Donna Collins during and after tomorrow's Wahine volleyball match against Nevada-Las Vegas.
