ON THE PITCH  
DID YOU KNOW?
The three goals that UH has allowed in the last 10 matches are the fewest in any 10-match stretch in program history. The 9.5 shots allowed per match are also on pace to be a school single-season record, ahead of the current record of 9.8 set in 2013.
 
NO GOAL PATROL
The Hawai'i defense has been the catalyst for the team's recent success, allowing just three goals in the last 11 matches. The Rainbow Wahine have shut out nine of their last 11 opponents, limiting teams to just 7.3 shots per match in that span. UH leads the Mountain West with a goals against average of .710 while the team's .643 shutout percentage leads the conference and ranks eighth nationally. The defensive success has been led by goalkeeper Kennedy Justin, who ranks 18th in the nation and tied for first in the Mountain West with eight shutouts. She has posted a program-record eight solo shutouts in the net. The team's eight shutouts are also the most by a UH team since 2013.
 
ON A ROLL
The Rainbow Wahine head into the final stretch of the regular season looking to build on a six-match winning streak. UH owns an 11-1 scoring advantage during the streak, shutting out five of their six opponents in that span. The 'Bows began the streak by winning 2-0 at preseason conference favorite Air Force on Sept. 27 before returning home and knocking off Nevada, 3-0, and UTEP, 2-1. UH then swept its Northern California road trip with a pair of shutout wins at San Jose State (2-0) and UC Davis (1-0) before returning home with a 1-0 win over Grand Canyon Saturday. The winning streak is tied for the third-longest ever in program history while the six straight Mountain West wins is tied for the second-longest conference win streak in UH history.  It's also the fourth-longest active winning streak nationally and the longest active one in the Mountain West.

PROTECTOR OF THE NET
The Rainbow Wahine have the luxury of leaning on a veteran presence in the net in junior keeper Kennedy Justin. The two-time reigning Mountain West Defensive Player of the Week, Justin has posted three consecutive clean sheets against San Jose State, UC Davis and Grand Canyon. The Long Beach, Calif. native owns the program single-season record with eight shutouts, while ranking 18th nationally and tied for first in the conference in total shutouts. She also currently ranks in the UH career top 10 in a number of major statistical categories for goalkeepers, including second in shutouts with 15, just one away from tying the UH career record of 16 held by Monk Berger (2013-16).
