The Red Raider girls also found the right stuff for the win over Kapa‘a 3-0.

In the junior varsity ranks, the Kaua‘i High School girls shutout the Warriors 5-0.
Tiffany Ikeda-Simao led the Red Raider attack with two goals. Also helping out with one score each, were Jamilee Jimenez, Nicole Fujimoto, and Michelle Kato. The JV Warrior boys got the win over Kaua‘i 2-0. No goal report was submitted.
