Kill: H. Lyons (KLNI) 24 kills

Led by a 24 kill, 14 dig performance by senior outside Haylee Lyons, Kalani took down Kaiser, 25-14, 21-25, 25-20, 25-21, to improve to 4-1 in OIA East play.

A bevy of players in their final season powered the Falcons, as Kailee-Lei McKee (10 kills, 18 digs), Shyanne Yamada (34 digs) and Ayre Takamoto (40 assists, 2 kills) each put up a team-high mark on evening. Fellow senior Kiera Kanoa-Faaiafua added 7 kills and an ace.

Kaiser rebounded from a 25-14 opening set loss to take set two 25-21, but the Falcons edged the visiting Cougars in sets three and four to claim the match victory.

Shereya Ufuti had 18 kills and two total blocks to lead the Cougars, with Leilani Fesuluai Robinson (9 kills, 3 blocks, ace) and Luna Ann Brown (7 kills, 4 blocks) also factoring in.

The Cougars have dropped three straight games after starting the season off with consecutive wins.
