Game Notes

HONOLULU – The Hawai'i women's soccer team continues its four-game home-stand on Friday when it welcomes Long Beach State to Waipi'o Peninsula Soccer Stadium at 7:00 p.m. for Big West Conference action.
 
Hawai'i is coming off back-to-back home conference wins last week, getting to .500 in Big West play (2-2) and 9-3-1 overall this season. The 49ers have won the last two in the series against Hawai'i, including a 3-2 win in Long Beach last season.
 
The Rainbow Wahine and 49ers will battle for precious points in the Big West standings, as only the top four teams in the nine-team league qualify for the Big West Tournament. Hawai'i sits one point behind Long Beach State entering the week.
 
Hawai'i senior Addie Steiner earned Big West Offensive Player of the Week honors on Monday after scoring three goals, including two game-winners, in Hawai'i's two wins last week. She leads the team with eight goals this season while sophomore mid-fielder Raisa Strom-Okimoto leads the Big West and ranks eighth nationally with eight assists. Senior goalkeeper Monk Berger has already shut out six opponents this season, one shy of her own single-season program record of seven from the 2013 season.
 
The 49ers are 6-6-2 this season entering the week, with a 2-1-1 record in the Big West. Ashley Gonzales leads the team with seven goals and 16 points, while Mimi Rangel has four goals and four assists for 12 points. Five LBSU players have scored two goals this season.
 
Ashton McKeown has seen the majority of the action in net for the 49ers, playing in 11 contests with a 5-4-2 overall record, .815 save percentage, 0.87 goals-against average and four shutouts. Imani McDonald is LBSU's other keeper, and owns a 1-2 record with a 1.65 goals-against average and .615 save percentage, all in non-conference action.
 
Hawai'i wraps up its home-stand against Cal State Fullerton on Oct. 23 (4:00 p.m.) before visiting UC Irvine and CSUN in the final week of the regular season.
