Rachael Remnet also earned her first collegiate win in goal, recoding the shutout with two saves.
30th SEASON FOR WOODWARD
2026 marks the 30th season in the historic career of Head Coach Julie Woodward. The Redhawk Hall-of-Fame inductee has compiled a record of 366-167-72 in her time which ranks top 60 all-time in NCAA history and 36th among active coaches for wins.

NEW LOOK ATTACK
The Redhawks lost 54% of their top 25 ranked offense last season to graduation. Caroline Penner, who ranked 8th nationally with 17 goals, was the biggest departure production wise. U’i Kaaihue (7), Kailee Wilson (6), and Kyla Schuster (4) are the top returners when it comes to goal production.
KAAIHUE NAMED PRESEASON ALL-WCC
5th year midfielder U’i Kaaihue was named to the preseason All-Conference team ahead of the 2026 season. The Maui, Hawaii native is coming of a season that saw her score seven goals and assist on another three. She also led Salmon Bay FC to the USL W League national championship over the summer and was named the Final MVP.
