[UH ATHLETICS]



Makue, UH rip Wolf Pack


Staff and wire reports

Tiffany Makue set a Hawaii single-match record with three assists as the Wahine defeated host Nevada, 4-1, in a Western Athletic Conference women's soccer match yesterday.

Arlene Devitt scored her team-high eighth goal of the season at 11:51 with a right-footed shot from the top of the box to give UH the lead. Makue, who took a pass from Erin Schremser, flipped the ball over the Wolf Pack defense to put Devitt in the clear.

Nevada (0-5-1 WAC, 0-15-1 overall) evened the count at 22:25 when Kaula Rowe, a sophomore from Kamehameha, tallied an unassisted goal. It was her team-leading sixth goal of the season.

The Wahine (3-3, 6-9) got the go-ahead goal at 54:55 on a play that began with Natalie Groenewoud making a nice run with the ball into the right corner. She angled a pass back to a trailing Carmel Hurley, who one-touched a cross toward the left post.

Veronica Flores, waiting six yards off the line near the left post, planted a header into the net for her first goal of the season and 14th of her career.

At 77:10, Hawaii was awarded an indirect free kick just inside the 18-yard line. Makue tapped the ball about two feet, Krystalynn Ontai stopped it and Schremser drilled a shot into the upper left-hand corner for a 3-1 Wahine lead.

With the clock winding down, Makue again served a ball past the Nevada defense. Tasha Rowe, who hails from Boulder City, Nev., turned right and deftly lofted the ball over an onrushing Jessica Gregg for her first collegiate goal.

"It was an Astroturf field. We like to push the ball around and we have dismal success doing that on Astroturf," said UH coach Pinsoom Tenzing. "It was a question of going mano a mano. We were a little bit faster, a little bit bigger, but there were just too many long balls. I don't like to see it on the field."

Tenzing credited Makue with having a good match and Tia Medeiros with opening the offense with her direction.

The seven UH assists is a single-match team record. The old record was five, set against Texas-El Paso last week.
