WAIPAHU — After seven long years, Kapaa is back in the championship game.

The Warriors played shutout ball through 76 minutes and got scores from Brianna Binder and Kaisha Davis-Caberto to defeat PAC-5, 2-1, in the Queen's Medical Center/HHSAA Division II state tournament semifinals Friday afternoon at the Waipio Peninsula Soccer Stadium.

Kapaa, the Kauai Interscholastic Federation champion and second-seeded team in the 12-team tourney, will meet three-time titleist Hawaii Prep Saturday evening at 5 p.m.

Binder, a junior forward, put home her team-leading 24th goal of the season in the 33rd minute to give the Warriors a 1-0 lead in the break.

Davis-Caberto padded Kapaa's lead in the 54th minute for the team's final score of the afternoon.

PAC-5, who rallied from a 2-1 deficit to beat KS-Hawaii, 3-2, in the quarterfinals, got a late score from Aislynn Crowder, but was unable to find the equalizer to force extra time.
