Iolani, one of the hottest boys soccer teams in the state, continued its streak with a 3-0 win over Leilehua in the opening round of the state tournament.

The Raiders advance to the quarterfinals to play fourth-seeded Waiakea today at 1 p.m. in the Meadow Gold Dairies/HHSAA Boys Soccer State Championships at the Waipi'o Peninsula Soccer Park and Stadium.

Also advancing to the quarterfinals were Kapolei, Kaiser and Hawai'i Prep. Kapolei plays third-seeded Kamehameha-Maui at 3, Kaiser meets top-seeded Mililani at 5, and Hawai'i Prep takes on second-seeded Punahou at 7.

Senior midfielder Zachary Napier, senior forward Mike Hirokawa and junior forward Morgan Langley scored similar goals on crosses for Iolani, which couldn't score in the first half before extending its winning streak to eight games.

"In the first half, Leilehua came out and played hard," Iolani coach Chris Lee said. "I think it was just first-game jitters. I just told them to keep the pressure on."

He said he was happy to be able to play everyone, except for the back-up goalkeeper, and added: "All the games are going to be tough. It's nice to get the first one out of the way."

Napier scored one minute into the second half on a cross from senior midfielder Dylan Langley from the right side.

"There was a lot of confusion in front of the goal," Napier said. "The ball just popped out in front of me and I volleyed it in."

Hirokawa scored in the 74th minute on another cross by Dylan Langley from the right side.

"He had a nice cross," Hirokawa said. "Everyone was jumbled inside. I kicked it and I think it hit off a defender's heel."

Morgan Langley scored on a cross from Napier in the 78th minute.

"He crossed it and the ball bounced around," Morgan Langley said. "It went to Zachary Lee and hit off him and bounced into space."

He said it is in Iolani's game plan to "stretch the field and go down the sidelines and cross it in."

Leilehua saw two shots hit the goalpost. Senior midfielder Daniel Phelps' shot nailed the crossbar in the 28th minute and junior forward Syd Tom's shot hit the right corner post in the 46th minute.

KAPOLEI 5, KEALAKEHE 2

Five players scored for the Hurricanes, who advanced to the quarterfinals for the first time.

Junior forward Aaron Santiago (21st minute), senior midfielder Drew Geis (33rd), junior midfielder Kainoa Bryant (37th), freshman Justin Malvar (65th) and junior midfielder Curtis Kiyabu (76th) scored for Kapolei.

"I feel very relieved that we got farther than we did in the past, but we had high expectations, so I'm just glad we didn't fall short," said Kapolei coach Bryce Kaneshiro.

Senior midfielder Robert Pettee scored for Kealakehe in the 31st and 73rd minutes.

HAWAI'I PREP 2, MOANALUA 1 (PKS)

The most international team in the tournament — featuring four players from Korea, two from South Africa, two from Germany and one from Japan — prevailed in the penalty-kicks phase, winning on its ninth shooter.

"It was a good match; the teams were pretty evenly matched," HPA coach Jon-Paul Mangarin said. "The guys were a little nervous on their penalty kicks. I credit (goalkeeper) Tripper Atherton (III). I told him to be big and intimidating and take up the goal. And he did."

Atherton, senior defender Matt Quitiquit, senior midfielder C.J. Cintas and junior forward Thato Nthite converted penalty kicks for Ka Makani. Nthite's score was a "sudden victory" situation, after the score was tied 3-3 through the first five shooters. The next three shooters from each team missed, and when the next Moanalua shooter also missed, Nthite converted for the win.

Moanalua senior midfielder Joey Nakamura, senior midfielder Kenneth Ogata and freshman defender Justin Watanabe made their kicks.

HPA's Cintas scored in the 16th minute on an assist from sophomore midfielder Tony Braverman, who drove the ball down the right sideline and crossed the ball near the endline.

Moanalua senior defender Landon Watanabe scored with six minutes left to force the game to two 10-minute overtime periods, and when neither team scored, the penalty-kicks phase.

KAISER 2, WAIMEA 1 (PKS)

The rematch of last year's first-round game ended up almost like last year — except for the result.

Kaiser defeated Waimea in the penalty-kicks phase, 4-1, to avenge a penalty-kicks loss to the Menehunes in last year's tournament.

Sophomore midfielder John Moats, senior defender Michael Kawajiri, senior midfielder Matthew Bush and sophomore defender Kyle Niiro made their kicks, and Kaiser goalkeeper Keola Kamakana stopped one Waimea shot.

"I forgot about last year's state tournament," said Kamakana, who added that after he stopped Waimea's first shooter, he thought: "We got this."

Waimea senior defender Kollin Morikawa made his shot as the second shooter, and the third kicker missed. The gap was too much for Waimea to make up, so after Niiro's goal, Kaiser won.

The teams scored within two minutes of each other in the first half. Kaiser's Niiro scored in the 25th minute and Waimea senior forward Chad Thompson answered in the 27th minute.
