HONOLULU - Chelsea Garner Prohs scored a career-high five goals to lead ninth-ranked Hawaii over UC Irvine, 11-5, in a Mountain Pacific Sports Federation match Thursday night at the Duke Kahanamoku Aquatic Complex.

Hawaii (9-8, 4-4 MPSF) got out to a quick start on a goal by senior utility Karin van Hoff just 51 seconds into the match. UC Irvine (6-14, 1-5 MPSF) stormed back with two quick goals to take a 2-1 lead, but not for long.

The third quarter belonged to Garner-Prohs, the sophomore from Riverside, Calif., who scored two goals less than a minute in and added another with 10 seconds left in the period to boost Hawaii to a 7-4 lead heading into the final period.
