LAIE, Hawaii – When the first shot of the match finds the back of the net, it is hard to erase the thought. BYU-Hawaii posted the first of three goals in the first half in the second minute en route to a 5-0 victory over Dixie State in Pacific West Conference play. The loss drops the Red Storm to 0-5-1 on the season, 0-2 in conference.
 
"We did not play well [from] start to finish," Dixie State head coach Danny Ortiz (Las Vegas, NV/Cimarron) said. "This is all on me. I need to find a way to the get the guys on the same page for 90 minutes."
 
Just over 10 minutes before the halftime break, BYUH (3-4-1, 3-0) saw its lead balloon to 3-0 thanks to a 9-to-4 advantage in shots.
 
Both teams fired 10 shots through the second half, but only two would find the net for the Seasisders. Chris Pineda made 10 saves for BYUH to earn the shutout.
 
Spencer Anderson (Glendale, AZ/Mountain View) stopped five shots between the pipes for DSU.
 
Coming off the bench, Sean Jenne (Las Vegas, NV/Centennial) paced all Storm players with three shots. Two of Jenne's shots came on goal, matching efforts from Alex Galvan (San Antonio, TX/Reagan) and Nadav Elimelech (Las Vegas, NV/Spring Valley).
 
"We have three more matches before we head home," Ortiz said. "I still have confidence in this team."
 
Dixie State returns to action on Monday morning at 10 a.m. Hawaiian (2 p.m. Mountain) time against Chaminade.
