Punahou won its fifth straight Interscholastic League of Ho-nolulu title this season, and league awards reflected its dominance.
Rebecca Breyer • The Honolulu Advertiser Look had a league-high six goals, mostly from a central midfield position. She scored both goals in a pair of 1-0 wins over Kamehameha, and had a goal in a 2-1 win over Iolani.
"She's the energizer bunny; she's everywhere," Barbosa said. "I'm going to miss that next year. I don't know if I have a player to replace her next year."
Baker, a three-time first-team league selection, has been anchoring the Buffanblu defense since her freshman year.
"For sure, she's the best defender coming out of the state this year," Barbosa said of Baker, whom he called "the consummate defender."
Punahou also was represented by junior midfielder Lizzy Carlson, who scored four goals.
Iolani placed four on the first team: sophomore forward Samantha Teramae, who scored four goals; senior midfielder Keri Oyadomari; junior defender Marci Kang, and senior goalkeeper Kiani Wong.
Pac-Five placed sophomore forward Ka'iulani Manuwai, who scored five goals, and sophomore goalkeeper Brittney Hutchins. Kamehameha junior defender Markee Nobriga, who scored four goals, and sophomore defender Kylee Ann Ah Choy were also selected.
Baker and Kang are repeat first-team selections from last year.
