Katie Case and Emily Evans did a great job in the middle of the field controlling the ball all game long and Noe Enos and Ku’uipo Nakoa played their best game working together up front.

It was nice to get everyone into the game in the 2nd half as the entire team has been working very hard in practice this week.

The girls wanted to keep their position with the standings in the west before the play-offs start. Getting the top seed in the west was one of our team goals … now we go onto our next goals.”

“I’m excited about the upcoming season and the opportunity to build upon a solid foundation,” Miranda said. “We are a program on the rise and in the coming years we plan on making noise on a nation wide basis.”

Miranda was the head coach at Mid-Pacific Institute from 2004 -2009 compiling 27 wins and 26 loses and 4 draws in the competitive Interscholastic of League of Honolulu. Miranda placed eight players on the All-State Tourney team and tourney’s Most Valuable Player in 2007.

Miranda was also a member of the Hawaii State Olympic Development Team from 1995-1997. He followed that up with a collegiate career at Missouri Valley College in Marshall, Mo., where he was a team captain and four year starter in defense.

University of Hawaii at Hilo women’s soccer coach Cam Camarena has stepped down but will remain the head coach of the men’s team announced UHH athletic director Dexter Irvin.

“Cam and his coaching staff did a commendable job of developing two competitive teams this year,” Irvin said. “We appreciate all their efforts in recruiting and developing outstanding student/athletes on both teams as well as facing all the challenges running that presented themselves.

“However, we’ve got to look out for what would be more beneficial for the overall athletic program. One coach cannot give two fall teams the attention they need to become competitive in the conference or region.”

The women’s team finished seventh in the conference with a 3-8-3 record and were 4-12-4 overall. The men were fourth in the PacWest with a 9-5 record and were 10-10 overall..

UHH participates in the 9-member Pacific West Conference which includes Academy of Art University (Calif.), Brigham Young University-Hawaii, Chaminade University, Dixie State College (Utah) Dominican University (Calif.), Grand Canyon University (Ariz.), Hawaii Pacific University and Notre Dame de Namur University (Calif.).
