ON THE PITCH

• Thursday will mark the first time UH will play in front of a home crowd since October 27th, 2019, in a 4-1 loss to UC Santa Barbara. UH won a home match, with or without fans, against UC Irvine on October 10th, 2019, in a 3-0 victory. 
• Wins have not been easy to come by for the Rainbow Wahine as their record sits at 0-8-3 in 2021. The last time UH celebrated a victory was on the road at UC Davis on Halloween Day of 2019 in a 3-2 shootout. 
• Entering Thursday's match, the 'Bows have played in three straight consecutive overtime matches, with two finishing in draws and the other in a heartbreaking loss. The stretch of consecutive overtime matches is the longest since 2008, when UH played in four straight.
• In six matches against conference opponents, UH has scored just five goals, but in half those matches, the 'Bows have outshot their opponents and collected double-digit shots in all six.
• Over the last three matches, the defense and backline have been stingy for the 'Bows allowing just two goals. Even more impressive is the two goals scored were scored on a corner kick and a penalty kick. The last goal scored against where the opposing team was on the run was at home against Cal Poly on September 30th.
• In 2019, the win by UH over UC Irvine was a big one as it snapped a four-match losing streak to the Anteaters and was in the middle of a three-match winning streak to start conference play for the 'Bows. Junior forward Kayla Ryan picked up a goal in the 3-0 victory, while sophomore midfielder Eliza Ammendolia notched three assists.
