Hawaiian Electric Game of the Week
Kamehameha and Iolani to meet with ILH title at stake




The Interscholastic League of Honolulu Division I girls soccer title comes down to one game.

The league championship will be decided Saturday afternoon when Kamehameha (10-0-1) visits Iolani (9-0-2) in the regular-season finale for both teams. Game time is slated for 3 p.m. at the Raiders' Kozuki Stadium.

The Warriors and Raiders have secured the ILH's two berths into the Outrigger Hotels & Resorts Division I Girls Soccer State Championships, but a coveted first-round bye in the 12-team, four-day tournament goes to the league champ.

Kamehameha, which last won the state tournament in 2012, leads defending ILH and state champ Iolani by two points entering their showdown Saturday. The Warriors have won five straight games since their only blemish — a scoreless tie against Iolani on Dec. 23 — on an otherwise perfect schedule. They have not allowed a goal since Jan. 7 and have given up just five goals all season. They have scored an ILH-best 60 goals. Kiani Halushka (15 goals) and Kawaiualani Makue (13) are the league's top two goal scorers. In all, 15 different players have scored a goal this year for Kamehameha, which last played on Jan. 17.

Iolani, which is coming off an 11-1 win over Mid-Pacific Wednesday, has posted seven shutout victories and allowed an ILH-best two goals this season. The Raiders have won back-to-back games since a 0-0 tie againt Punahou on Jan. 14. Pikake Kaneshiro (10 goals) and Shantel Torres-Benito (9) rank fourth and fifth, respectively in the ILH in scoring. Megan Goo and Nikki Mitsuyasu have eight goals apiece on the year. As the team, Iolani has scored 55 goals this season.

An Iolani win would give it the league championship, while a tie would be enough for Kamehameha to finish on top.
