Sinamoni Tonga later had back-to-back aces to push the lead to 20-9, and a serving error. hitting error and net violation by Na Menehune helped the Red Raiders win going away."We've really been working on our blocking and our serving, and that really helped us in the first set," Kalama said.Moanalua turned the tables in Game 2, however, jumping to leads of 4-1, 9-2, 15-3 and 17-4. Kahuku could not get closer than six points the rest of the way.Na Menehune led 4-1 and 5-2 early in the third set, but the Red Raiders came back and eventually tied it at 7-7 on an ace by Ashley Mataele.
