GIRLS SOCCER: Warriors 1, Raiders 0

February 4, 2012 - The ‘Iolani School girls varsity soccer team's quest for the 2012 HHSAA Division I state championship ended with a 1-0 loss to top-seeded Kamehameha Schools-Kapalama on Saturday night at the Waipio Peninsula Soccer Complex.

The Warriors scored the deciding goal in the 32nd minute at the end of a wild scramble in front of the net.

The Raiders advanced to their second consecutive state championship game with a 1-0 victory over second-seeded Moanalua on Friday night.

For the second night in a row, senior midfielder Twyla Hamasaki (pictured below in middle, celebrating with teammates) scored the game's only goal. Against Moanalua, the OIA champion that had not lost a game all season, she struck in the 39th minute, just before halftime.

On Thursday, Hamasaki scored in the 31st minute to lift 'Iolani past third-seeded Baldwin, 1-0.

The Raiders, who defeated Aiea, 7-1, in the first round on Wednesday, played four games in as many days during the state tournament.

'Iolani finished its ILH campaign undefeated (9-0-3 -- 30 points), but finished second in the league standings to Kamehameha (10-1-1 -- 31 points).
