Kahuku ended the first set with an 8-2 run after trailing 21-17, then scored the final three points of the second set after the Trojans had closed it to 22-21. Jordyn Keamo's kill broke a 23-23 tie in the third set and Kristen Miguel followed with another kill to force a Game 4.

Sweet Vaimoui then had two kills and a block to highlight a 6-1 run that turned a 14-12 Red Raiders deficit into a 20-15 lead in the fourth set, and Kahuku was able to side out the rest of the way for the victory.

Vaimoui finished with seven kills and three blocks, Sina Tonga added seven kills and Penina Snuka contributed three kills, two aces and a block.

Keamo led Mililani with 15 kills to go with one block and one ace, Inoa Fields added nine kills and one ace, and Miguel and Sarah LeGalley each contributed five kills.
