Maui Interscholastic League teams King Kekaulike High School and Kamehameha Maui will face off for the third time this season, this time in the fifth-place game of the Niu Health Urgent Care Girls Soccer Division I state tournament.
A day after dropping their state quarterfinal matches, Na Alii and Warriors both bounced back with 4-1 victories in consolation play Friday at the Waipio Peninsula Soccer Complex.
King Kekaulike (10-1-1) scored three first-half goals in defeating Hilo 4-1.
After the Vikings scored in the sixth minute, it didn’t take long for Madee Dougherty to net the equalizer for Na Alii in the 11th minute. U’i Kaaihue’s goal in the 35th minute was quickly followed by Kaelynn Andrade’s goal a minute later, and Zoe Rehrer capped the scoring in the 72nd.
Kamehameha Maui (10-3-0) similarly fell behind early against Campbell, with the Sabers’ Cheyenne Mattos scoring in the third minute. Jael Kapuaala tied it in the 21st minute, and the Warriors got back-to-back goals from Kamalei Kealoha (52nd minute) and Hokuala English (54th) to take control. Ka’ena Kehano tacked on one more goal with five minutes remaining.
Na Alii and Warriors met twice during the MIL season, with both close contests going to King Kekaulike, 1-0 and 2-0. Today’s fifth-place game is scheduled for 3 p.m. at Waipio.
At 1 p.m. at Waipio today, Seabury Hall (3-9-0) will take on Nanakuli in the Division II consolation final.
