Sophomore midfielder Keenan Seguancia scored in the 44th minute on an assist from junior midfielder Leslie Nwapa as the Rough Riders (10-2-2) advanced to play O'ahu Interscholastic Association champions and second-seeded Kapolei (12-2-0) Thursday at 3 p.m. in the stadium.
"We didn't play good in the first half, but we picked it up in the second half," Seguancia said. "The coaches gave us a good speech at halftime. He said we could play in the stadium if we won. We got fired up."
