Fourth-ranked Iolani got all it could handle from No. 8 Moanalua Tuesday afternoon.

Taylor Venenciano's penalty kick lifted the Raiders to a 1-0 win (9-8 in PKs) over Na Menehune at Kozuki Stadium.

Iolani, the Interscholastic League of Honolulu runner-up, improved to 11-3-1 and will face third-seed and Big Island Interscholastic Federation champion Hilo at 3:00 p.m. Thursday at Waipio Peninsula Soccer Complex.

Moanalua, which finished fourth in the Oahu Interscholastic Association, ends its season at 10-3-1.

The match was originally scheduled for Monday afternoon but was pushed back by 24 hours due to inclement weather.
