It’s not that simple. 2016 and 2018, we were that close to making it to the NCAA by one loss. Unfortunately, what happened from those years after those two seasons left them in a soccer hangover to the point where they haven’t improved at all. At the end of the day, winning is what it’s all about, and they haven’t been able to do that cleanly and efficiently. Somehow, it makes me wonder why there’s no men’s soccer for Hawaii because some schools do have men’s soccer and it would be a good idea for us to get our name out there.

I understand Nagamine wants this team to be optimistic, but at the same time, all that can do is accomplish little to not much. At the end of the day, winning games is what it’s all about, and all the sports programs are upping their game. This program needs to play a complete game without any breakdowns and they may do well, but unfortunately, they’re just being outclassed and outplayed by the upper echelon of much tougher teams. They gotta get out of the funk that they’re in right now.

lots of optimism from the coach, that that happens every year and it does not appear to get better. she mentioned that they did better in the second half against ucla, but remember at that point ucla had their reserves in the game. I doubt if they can do better than where their predicted finish this year and that would be another failure year. they do have some talent but it appears that the coaching is not up to par. great coaches can make good talent look great and great talent can make good coaches look great, but uh has neither. if they falter again this year, a serious coaching change in order. you can talk a good game but you have to produce, it is all about wins and losses, not how well you competed in a losing game.

Sorry, but they’re not ready for any team. Wahine does not have an offense. Can’t understand the offensive game plan. Is there one?

Haha. Besides that trip, Sumida played a good game. Will be exciting to watch her and Ammendolia in the upcoming conference games. Hope to see those two play more together because once they connect, that combination will be deadly. Future looks bright but wahine soccer needs a goal scorer to fill Raisa’s spot. Cannot always rely on Mata to save them.
