Iolani left no doubt after King Kekaulike tied the match.

The second-ranked Raiders bested the third-seeded Na Alii in four sets in the quarterfinal round of the New City Nissan Division I Girls Volleyball State Championships at Moanalua's gymnasium Thursday night. Set scores were 25-18, 22-25, 25-12, 25-8.

Junior outside hitter Elena Oglivie put down a match-high 22 kills on a 0.370 hitting percentage to power Iolani (11-5) into the semifinals where it will face Mililani in a 5 p.m. match at McKinley's Student Council Gymnasium Friday.

King Kekaulike (14-1), who dropped just one set during the MIL D1 season, was led by Nohokula Lind's 10 kills and 10 digs.
