PEARL CITY — No. 2 Mililani and No. 5 Pearl City started the match off with a bang, each scoring in the opening five minutes.

However, both teams would manage to shut each other out and end the game in a 1-1 draw Friday night at Bino Neves Stadium.

"It was hectic," Mililani coach Natalie Goo said of the game. "It's always fun times playing against Pearl City. It's good for our girls to get quality games like this during the regular season."

This is Goo's first year as the varsity head coach. She previously coached the Mililani junior varsity girls team.

The Trojans remain undefeated at 3-0-2 in the Oahu Interscholastic Association West standings while the Chargers are now 3-1-1.

Pearl City took the early lead in the third minute when forward Sunshine Fontes hit a nice shot past Mililani goalkeeper Sydni Nakamura.

"My little forward (Jasmine Herodies) made the goal happen," said Pearl City Coach Frank Baumholtz. "She took a ball to the corner and gave it off to Sunshine and Sunshine put it into the net."
