LOS ANGELES, Calif. - U’i Kaaihue totaled three points, including the game-winning goal in the 70th minute, to lift No. 3 seed Seattle U to a 3-2 victory over No. 2 seed Pepperdine in the West Coast Conference Women’s Soccer Championship semifinals at Sullivan Field on Wednesday.

Saturday’s WCC Championship match is now set with Seattle U (12-4-5) set to battle No. 4 seed Santa Clara (9-2-9) for the Conference’s automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament. The contest will kick off at 3 p.m. PT and be broadcast on ESPN+.

The Waves grabbed an early lead on Alex Pendleton’s goal in the 14th minute, but the Redhawks responded quickly on Vivien Villarreal’s equalizer just over three minutes later for a 1-1 scoreline at the half.

Kaaihue assisted a Sophie Hanson goal in the 60th minute to give Seattle U a brief lead, but Pepperdine (10-5-4) answered four minutes later with a Kate Ryan goal assisted by Peyton Leonard and Julia Quinonez.

The Redhawks took the lead again six minutes later when Villarreal’s lifted cross eluded the Waves’ defense and fell to Kaaihue, who calmly volleyed home the eventual deciding goal.
