Punahou opened its tournament slate scoring eight goals and a clean sheet in an 8-0 win over Moanalua at Alexander Field.

Up next for Punahou is a familiar opponent in Kekaulike, the third seed and MIL champion, who bounced the Buffanblu from the 2020 tourney with a 1-0 victory.

The Buffanblu are seeking their first state championship since 2011.
