(HONOLULU)
Alana Diaz continued her hot scoring form on Monday afternoon in a 2-1 loss at Chaminade (6-2-3 overall, 4-0-1 PacWest).
Diaz's third goal of the season, now tied for the team lead, came in the 75th minute on Monday a mere 22 seconds after the Silverswords made it 2-0.
A nifty passage of play found
Zoe Crockett on the left wing to whip in a pinpoint cross that Diaz met with a powerful header to cut the Sea Lions' deficit in half.
PLNU then continued to put pressure on the CUH goal but wasn't able to find an equalizer despite outshooting the hosts 10-6 overall and 6-5 in shots on goal.
Both Chaminade goals came off set piece deliveries into dangerous areas in the box less than 10 minutes apart in the 65th and 75th minutes.
Diaz, after missing nearly a year following a season-ending injury in October 2022, has now scored in two-straight and in three of her last four games.
Point Loma (6-3-1 overall, 2-2 PacWest) continues its trip to the Aloha State on Wednesday with a 10 p.m. PT / 7 p.m. HT matchup at Hawaii Pacific.
