MORAGA, Calif. – The University of Hawai`i women's soccer team wrapped up a three-match road swing through California with an agonizing 1-0 loss to Saint Mary's on Tuesday afternoon. The Rainbow Wahine surrendered an own goal in the 56^th minute in dropping their sixth straight match to start the season.

Saint Mary's (4-1-1) Kaytlyn Steele sent a hard cross the ball from near the left box which bounced off a UH defender's knee and into the back of the net. It was the second time this year that UH lost on an own goal. The Rainbow Wahine fell to North Dakota State, 3-2, at home on Aug. 27 after an inadvertent second-half header was converted into the decisive winner for the Bison.
