Anne Marie Fallow scored two first-half goals and Oregon State held off Hawaii, 2-1, last night in the championship match of the Outrigger Hotels & Resorts No Ka Oi women's soccer tournament.

A record Wahine soccer crowd of 1,772 at the new Waipio Peninsula Soccer Stadium saw Fallow tally at 4:16 and 19:49 to give the Beavers (3-1-0) a 2-0 lead.

Jennifer Starsiak countered for the Wahine (2-1-1) at the 31:28 mark on a nifty set-up by Veronica Flores.

Oregon State protected its one-goal edge the rest of the way.
