LIHUE – Teams have struggled to score on the relentless defense of the Kaua’i Red Raider Girls Soccer Team, which has allowed just one goal in its 4 KIF matches thus far.
Kapa’a felt that efficacy after Saturday’s matchup at Vidinha Stadium, where Amber Santos scored twice to lead the Red Raiders to a 2-0 shut out over the Warriors.
The win caps the second round of KIF play for the Raiders, now at 3-1. The Warriors fall to 1-3.
Santos scored her first point on a penalty shot early in the first half and followed up with a second point on a breakaway run in the second half.
Despite 8 shot attempts, Kapa’a was unable to penetrate the Raider defense and failed to capitalize on 4 penalty shots.
Red Raider goalie Ashton Pigao’s six saves facilitated the shut out. She has become a primary reason the Raider Girls have continued to keep the KIF from finding the net this season.
