HALAWA - Special teams was anything but for Pac-Five Friday night.

The Wolf Pack outgained No. 9 'Iolani 211 yards to 129, but muffed a pair of punt returns that led to Raiders' field goals and turned it over three other times that eventually led to a 13-3 win for the four-time reigning Division II state champions.

A crowd of about 2,000 fans at Aloha Stadium saw 'Iolani improve to 4-2 overall and 2-1 in the ILH. Pac-Five, which has lost its last two games after a 3-0 start, fell to 3-2 and 0-2.

Jordan Lee converted field goals of 28 and 32 yards for the Raiders, whose other score came on a 9-yard touchdown pass from Reece Foy to Sheldon Gallarde.

'Iolani went three-and-out on its first possession of the game, but a muffed punt return inside the Pac-Five 20-yard line was recovered by Geovar Agbayani. Six plays later, Lee made good on his 28-yard field goal attempt to put his team ahead, 3-0 with six minutes and 34 seconds left in the first quarter.

Pac-Five fumbled on its ensuing drive and Maxwell Look fell on the loose ball at the 'Iolani 44. Foy marched the Raiders downfield on a 12-play, 56-yard drive that was capped by his 9-yard scoring strike to Gallarde. Lee kicked the extra point to make the score, 10-0, early in the second.

Gallarde, a 5-foot-11, 190-pound senior, finished with six catches for 46 yards - all in the first half.

An 'Iolani fumble deep in its own territory, gave Pac-Five possession at the Raiders' 5 and set-up a Noah Oyler 22-yard field goal with one second to play in the first half.

Pac-Five's Jack Foster was intercepted early in the third quarter by 'Iolani's James Los Banos in his own end zone, but the drive stalled and resulted in a punt. However, the return was again muffed by the Wolf Pack's special teams and Maika Kealoha recovered for the Raiders at the Pac-Five 17.  Lee's 32-yard field goal three plays later was good and 'Iolani extended its lead to 13-3 with 3:26 left in the third.

Pac-Five's Alakai Kealoha led all rushers with 110 yards on 11 carries. The Wolf Pack also recorded five sacks of Foy, including three by Titus Failauga. They were flagged eight times for 82 yards. 

Joshua Conlan had two sacks for the Raiders, who were just three-of-15 on third downs and picked up just nine first downs.
