U.S. AIR FORCE ACADEMY, Colo., - Air Force women's soccer (6-3-1) fell 2-0 to Mountain West newcomer Hawai'i (4-4-1) Sunday afternoon at Cadet Soccer Stadium. Despite outshooting the Rainbow Wahine, 22-12, the Falcons were unable to find the back of the net.
Chase Borntreger led the Falcons with two shots on goal, while Kendall Rippley, Lauren Steinlage, Maddy Walsh, Mai Mateaki, Nalei Shannon, Melissa Araujo, Sammi Kinoshita and Annika Jost each recorded one shot on frame.
In goal, Sydney Nelms recorded three saves while allowing two goals.
Air Force controlled much of the possession in the opening half, firing seven shots, including three on goal. Nelms came up with a pair of saves to keep the match scoreless heading into the break.
The Falcons came out attacking in the second half, registering three shots and earning two corners in the 49th minute, but could not capitalize. Hawai'i broke through in the 53rd minute when a shot sailed over Nelms and into the net to give the Rainbow Wahine a 1-0 lead.
Hawai'i added an insurance goal in the 82nd minute after a deflected shot found the top-right corner of the net, pushing the 'Bow's lead to 2-0.
Air Force will hit the road next week for its first Mountain West road match of the season, traveling to UTEP Friday, Oct. 2. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. MT.
