MILILANI — Chaylyn Navares and Randi Macadangdang scored two goals apiece to help Mililani to a 4-2 win over visiting Kapolei on a cool, crisp night at John Kauinana Stadium Tuesday.

The Trojans improved to 5-0 and moved into sole possession of first place in the Oahu Interscholastic Association's Western Division standings.

Navares and Macadangdang, a pair of junior halfbacks, each netted their third and fourth goals of the season as Mililani slid one-half game — and three points — ahead of second-place Aiea (4-0), which was idle Tuesday.

It was the Trojans' second win over a previously-unbeaten opponent in a span of six days. They avoided a letdown following last Wednesday's key 3-1 victory over defending Division I state champion Pearl City by scoring early and often against the Hurricanes (4-1).

Mililani scored two quick goals to jump out to a two-goal lead in the first 11 minutes.

Navares opened the scoring in the eighth minute when she poked a right-footed shot from about 12 yards away over Kapolei goalie, Sam Corney.

"The two center backs for Kapolei didn't really have control of the ball and it was there for me to pick up and beat the goalie and chip it over her to the top, left corner," Navares said.

About three minutes later, Macadangdang fired in a goal with her left foot from about eight yards away.

"I was on the left side and I saw (Navares) had the ball and I saw an opening," Macadangdang said. "She played it through and I saw the backside open, so I made that run and played it through."

Kapolei got on the board in the 15th minute on a long goal by Cait Perry, whose shot from about 35 yards out bounced over Mililani goalie Andrea Kenagy and into the net.

However, the Trojans quickly reclaimed a two-goal lead on Macadangdang's second goal of the night — this one going just over Corney and under the crossbar from approximately 25 yards away — just a few minutes later.

The Hurricanes again cut it to a one-score game when Heather Kolona found the goal from just outside the 6-yard goalie box in the 28th minute.

Mililani led at halftime, 3-2. Both Navares and Macadangdang said it was the best offensive half it has played all year.

"Oh, definitely," Navares said. "Going through these past few games we've had a hard time jelling in the midfield, finding the right combinations and the right players to put out there at the same time and I think tonight we finally got that together and we figured out what works best for us."

Trojans coach Ray Akiona said his team needed its hot start against the always-tough Hurricanes.

"We did start on the right foot and we had good pace, we had good communication so we were clicking early on and then Kapolei got back right into the groove and then the game kind of settled in a little bit, but I think we had a good jump early in the game and that helped us a lot," Akiona said.

Navares added an insurance goal about six minutes into the second half when she put away a rebound off a long shot from fullback Malia Napoleon that Corney was unable to handle cleanly.

"Malia had an amazing shot on goal," said Navares, who also scored a goal against Pearl City. "We can always count on her to give us a great ball on the side and all I knew was that I had to follow and that was what I did; Just follow the ball."

Kapolei had allowed just one goal through its first four matches. Senior forward/midfielder Alyssa Yoshida, the OIA's leading scorer, was held scoreless for the first time this season.

Defending Yoshida was a point of emphasis for the Trojans.

"She's extremely fast, very talented and she's a straight-for-the-goal type of player, so it's hard," Akiona said. "You've probably got to focus on just denying her the ball and if you wait until she gets the ball you're always going to be a foot behind her, so I think our focus was just making sure that she didn't get the opportunity to get the ball to her feet and we were able to contain that, but she's so dynamic."

Kapolei coach Brian Beck said he was proud of his players' effort despite the final score.

"I told my girls to beat a team like Mililani you've got to come out with high pressure; it was just a matter of how long we could sustain it," Beck said. "When you play Mililani, if you make mistakes they're going to make you pay, but I was really excited that when they scored two goals we came back, they scored another one and then we came back again. The girls worked hard to follow the game plan and so I think that's what we take away from this game."

Mililani has now outscored its opponents 31 to 3 on the year. It will host Waipahu Thursday.

Kapolei will visit Campbell Friday.
