Kahuku’s trailblazing girls soccer season continued last night as the unbeaten Red Raiders defeated Kalaheo 1-0 on tie-breaker penalty kicks after two overtimes in the quarterfinals of the O'ahu Interscholastic Association Championship tournament.
Junior Makamae Rezantes and sophomore Krisha Kai put in penalty kicks after the teams had played 110 minutes without a score in regulation and overtimes at Kahuku.
The victory made history for Kahuku, putting the Red Raiders into the OIA semifinals and the state tournament for the first time. They also won their first Eastern Division championship in history and are now 10-0.
Yesterday’s other quarterfinal winners, who also earned state tournament berths, were unbeaten Mililani (1-0 over Kalani); Pearl City (2-1 over Kailua) and ‘Aiea (2-0 over Kaiser).
The winners advance to semifinals on Wednesday at Mililani High.
The losers will fight it out for the OIA’s fifth spot in the state tournament Feb. 7-10.
