The Big Island’s only NCAA soccer programs will be getting a better place to play in 2016, by transferring games to a local high school.
University of Hawaii at Hilo athletic director Pat Guillen said Thursday he is “almost done,” with negotiations between the school and Kamehameha to move Vulcans’ men’s and women’s soccer matches to Paiea Stadium in Keaau in the fall.
“It’s one of the best high school facilities I’ve ever seen,” Guillen said, “and it has lights, so there are some things we can do there. The people there are great, it’s been a very positive experience talking with them.
