After 12 years, PAC-5 is back in the Division II title match.

Freshman Leila Leano's goal in the 45th minute lifted the second-seeded Wolfpack over Kapaa, 1-0, in the semifinals of the NIU Health Urgent Care Division II Girls Soccer Championships Friday afternoon at Waipio Peninsula Soccer Complex stadium.

PAC-5 will be trying for its fourth state title, and first since 2010, when it takes on top-seeded Kauai Saturday in a 5 p.m. championship match at Radford's John E. Velasco Stadium.

The game-winning goal by Leano came after she intercepted a pass at midfield and dribbled it all the way to the top of the goal area and scored through traffic.
