LIHU‘E —A four-way tie exists in the varsity boys division of the Kaua‘i Interscholastic Federation soccer following two weeks of play.
The Waimea High School boys battled Island School to a 0-0 stalemate in the day’s opener at the Island School campus before Kaua‘i met the Kapa‘a boys at Vidinha Stadium.
Kapa‘a, after ending with a tie against Island School last week, got into the driver’s seat with five minutes left in the half when Warrior forward Daniel Alonzo was credited with the goal which came off a corner kick and settled into heavy traffic to the left of the goalmouth.
Despite the 1-0 lead, Kapa‘a kept the pressure on while Kaua‘i’s defense stiffened.
As the game wound down, punctuated by blasts from vuvuzela horns, Kaua‘i’s Anthony Gammerino found the net to knot the game, 1-1 with five minutes remaining.
Kapa‘a went strong in an attempt to break the tie, but time ran out resulting in ties all-around.
More stalemates dotted the KIF soccer scene Saturday as the Junior Varsity boys between Kapa‘a and Kaua‘i finished in a 0-0 tie.
Madison Moore netted four goals to lead the Island School Junior Varsity girls to a 6-0 shutout over the JV Waimea girls at the Puhi campus.
Keana Green and Emma Schneck added goals for the final math.
Caley Caires, Wailana Gandeza and Kawehi Taniguchi, firing a goal from about 40 yards out, topped the Kaua‘i JV girls’ 3-1 edge over the Kapa‘a JV girls.
With the winter break looming, KIF soccer takes the field Wednesday when Waimea varsity girls host Kapa‘a in a single game starting at 4 p.m. at Hanapepe Stadium.
Kaua‘i will host Island School in a varsity boys match in a single game starting at 4 p.m. at Vidinha Stadium.
On Thursday, Waimea will host a JV girls game against Kapa‘a in a single game starting at 4 p.m. at Hanapepe Stadium while Kaua‘i JV girls will host the Island School JV girls in an exhibition match at Vidinha Stadium starting at 4 p.m.
