VIDEO: Rainbow Wahine To Watch - Monk Berger

The University of Hawai'i women's soccer team (3-3) makes its way to the Copper State for a pair of non-conference matches this weekend. The Rainbow Wahine will take on Arizona on Friday, Sept. 20 (7:00 p.m. PT, 4:00 p.m. HT) and Northern Arizona on Sunday, Sept. 22 (Noon PT, 9:00 a.m. HT).
 
UH had their three-match win streak snapped with a disappointing 2-0 home loss to Portland State on Sunday. The 'Bows, however, look to recapture the magic they had on its first road trip of the year when they swept Oregon and Oregon State.
 
UH will face its third straight Pac-12 opponent on the road when the Rainbow Wahine face Arizona. Meanwhile, Northern Arizona will by UH's third Big Sky opponent in the last four matches after having already face Portland State and Idaho State (W, 4-1).  It will be stiff competition for the Rainbow Wahine as the Wildcats (4-1-3) and Lumberjacks (4-1-3) have lost just once in 15 combined matches.
