Box Score WAIPIO, HAWAII (September 17, 2015)—A late goal from Erika Ellis helped the Hawaii Pacific women's soccer team claim a 2-1 victory over BYU-Hawaii in a non-conference clash at Waipio Peninsula Soccer Park.
 
The Sharks (2-2) surged ahead 2-1 in the 84^th minute as Stefanie Catone and Sara Romo pieced together passes to Ellis, who drilled a shot within the 18-yard box that ricocheted off Seasider goalkeeper Daryl Kaufusi that trickled into the goal for the deciding score.
 
BYU-Hawaii (0-2) had tied the match at 1-1 when, in the 78^th minute, Natalie Reynolds scored off a rebound that clanked off the crossbar within the six-yard box.
 
HPU initially jumped ahead as Sierra Kadooka crossed to freshman Noelle Mercado, who deposited the ball in the back of the net in the game's 10^th minute.
 
The Seasiders out-shot HPU 12-10, thanks in part to a late flurry of attacks, but Sharks goalkeeper Kelby Boswell racked up five saves to hold the visitors to one goal.
