Kamehameha took down Iolani in straight sets, 25-22, 25-17, 27-25, in front of a pumped up home crowd at Kekuhaupio Gymnasium.

Devin Kahahawai put down a match high 24 kills with eight digs, a block and two aces and Maui Robins added 16 kills, 13 digs, two blocks and an ace for the Warriors, who clinched a state tournament berth with the victory.

The Warriors out-assisted the Raiders 34-23, as Sierra Scanlan and Marley Roe each chipped in 17 in the victory.

Iolani fought valiantly, but ultimately never found any breathing room on the scoreboard while the Warriors capitalized.

Mokihana Tufono did it all for the Raiders, putting down eight kills while adding 10 digs, seven assists and three aces to the stat sheet. Senna Roberts-Navarro chipped in eight kills and 10 digs and Eryn Hiraki seven kills of her own.

Still up for grabs is the ILH Division I title. The Warriors will face off with the Buffanblu on Saturday at 4 p.m. with league championship implications.
