Junior
Monika Eggens recorded a career-high nine goals in leading UH to an outright victory over Colorado State, breaking the school record for most goals scored in a single match.

In a well-rounded offense, seven Rainbow Wahine put numbers on the scoreboard. Aside from Eggens' nine goals, freshman
Kelly McKee recorded a hat trick to help lead UH.

Monika Eggens and senior
