Laie, HI—The Brigham Young University Hawaii men’s soccer team suffered its first defeat of the season today, losing 5-0 to conference leader Hawaii Pacific in Pacific West Conference play.  The Seasiders could get nothing going offensively, managing just three shots in the game, and could keep the Sea Warriors out of the net as Hawaii Pacific scored five times on just six shots on goal.
