Keaupono Fey scored 6 points of her game-high 12 points in the first quarter as Punahou jumped out to a 14-4 lead, then held off Sacred Hearts down the stretch to post a 38-29 win in the Interscholastic League of Honolulu's Division I single-elimination tournament.

In the second quarter, the Lancers made things interesting and they outscored the Buffanblu, 10-8. A basket by Celina Pagan cut the deficit to 2, 18-16 with a little less than 2 minutes remaining.

Punahou managed to pull away after a pair baskets by Turner Wong and took the lead going into halftime, 24-16.

The third quarter was close due to both teams having trouble shooting the ball, and while Sacred Hearts edged Punahou, 6-4, they still trailed by 6 points, 28-22.

An 11-point fourth quarter helped Punahou go up by double-digits and put the game out of reach. Everyone listed on the Punahou roster was able to get playing time.

Keaupono Fey led and all scorers with 12 points.

Punahou will play at 'Iolani at 5 pm Wednesday. Both played each other on January 26, with the Raiders prevailing, 51-44.
