Junior forward Jessica Marote scored on a rebound in the 74th minute and Bryanna De Lima sealed it on a short goal in the 80th to help the Warriors complete an undefeated regular and postseason at 17-0.
"This is really big, I just found out that it never did happen for a Big Island team before," Marote said. "We did it for our school and for the whole island."
In the 74th minute Hall took a hard shot from the right side, similar to the one in the first half.
Roosevelt keeper Kamalei Pitoy dived to her right to make the save, but the ball deflected to the back post, where Marote was there to punch it in.
"I just had to settle the ball down and keep the shot low, because their keeper has good hands," Marote said.
Even with the 1-0 lead, the Warriors kept the offensive pressure on, and in the 80th minute Ah Chong took a shot that ricocheted off the crossbar, and De Lima was there in front of the goal to punch it in.
