Hawaii blew leads of 2-0 and 3-1 and went on to suffer a 4-3 overtime loss to visiting Long Beach State. And it was a local girl, former Mid-Pac standout Mariko Strickland, who forced the game into extra time by putting away a loose ball that rattled around the UH penalty area following a corner kick.
Kim Silos scored her second goal of the match three minutes into the extra session, ending a 14-game home winning streak that dated to the regular-season finale in 2006.
UH will try to rebound for the painful setback when it hosts Denver at 4 p.m. Monday.
In volleyball, 12th-ranked Hawaii opens against top-ranked Penn State in a 7 p.m. match. The 21st annual Wahine Volleyball Classic also features sixth-ranked UCLA and Ohio.
The UH football team went through drills in Atlanta yesterday in preparation for Saturday's opener against fifth-ranked Florida with still no word on which of Hawaii's two untested quarterbacks will get the starting call.
Brent Rausch originally was awarded the job before suffering from discomfort in his throwing arm. That opened the door for Greg Alexander, and he seems to be the front-runner this point after taking 45 of the 57 snaps during yesterday's drills at Georgia Tech practice field.
