FARGO, N.D.—For the third consecutive match the University of Hawai'i soccer team held its opponent scoreless, paving the way to a 1-0 win on the road at North Dakota State on Friday.
 
The Rainbow Wahine (2-2-1) extended their opponent scoreless streak to 294 minutes and 49 seconds in the win. The longest streak of scoreless matches at UH holds at five, and it has been done twice in program history. The last spanning over two seasons in 2004 and 2005. The Bison (3-1-1) suffered their first loss of the year and second straight loss to UH over the past two seasons.
 
The only goal of the night came from freshman Kelci Sumida in the 25th minute of action. Sophomore defender Cristina Drossos sent a crossing pass to the middle of the box finding Sumida for a header. The goal gave Sumida the team lead at two on the year.
 
Senior goalkeeper and reigning Big West Conference Defensive Player of the Week Alexis Mata added to her season and career totals with the shutout win. Mata now sits alone at No. 3 all-time at UH with 11 career shutouts. Monk Berger holds the record at 16. On the season, Mata is halfway to her career-high of six, with her third shutout of the year, the single-season record sits at seven, a feat also held by Berger from 2013 and 2016.
 
UH will now head to Grand Forks, N.D. for a Sunday matchup with North Dakota. It will be the first-ever match between the 'Bows and the Fighting Hawks. The pitch is set for 11 a.m. HT.
