WAIPI'O — For a water polo team that may not look "pretty fast," the Kamehameha girls pulled away quickly.

Kamehameha scored six first-half goals and held third-seeded Lahainaluna scoreless for the entire first half en route to an 11-4 win in yesterday's quarterfinals of the Local Motion/Hawai'i High School Athletic Association State Championships at the Veterans' Memorial Aquatic Center.

Nanea Fujiyama scored four goals for the Warriors (6-5), who advance to play No. 2 Roosevelt (15-0) in today's 7 p.m. semifinal.

Kahuku (14-2) faces top-seeded and defending champion Punahou (9-0) in the 5 p.m. semifinal.

"We did awesome, we started out with a bang and gave them jitters a little bit," said Kamehameha senior Ashlee-Aulani Akeo, who scored two goals. "Our defense, we have a really fast team. It shocks a lot of teams because we don't look like we're pretty fast, but we are."

Fujiyama and Akeo scored in the first quarter for a 2-0 lead, and the Warriors scored four times in the second for a 6-0 halftime lead. Kamehameha goalkeeper Chloe Shaw-Limary had six of her nine saves in the first half.

The Lunas broke through 26 seconds into the third quarter on Hailey Gill's lob shot with 6:34 remaining. Gill scored again three minutes later and Moana Tuipulotu scored with 1:24 left to cut the deficit to 6-3.

Fujiyama scored to close out the third, but the Lunas cut it to 7-4 on Tuipulotu's goal with 5:57 left.

Fujiyama then scored back-to-back goals to extend the Warriors' lead to 9-4.

"We slacked off in the third quarter, but we rearranged things and got back on course," Shaw-Limary said.

Kehau Ai had three goals and Kiley Doane added two in the win.

NO. 2 ROOSEVELT 9, KAMEHAMEHA-HAWAI'I 8, 2OT

Rachel Gomes scored the game-winner with 2:43 left in the second overtime of a quarterfinal game. The Rough Riders (15-0) tied the game at 8-8 on Hoku Keola's goal with 4:00 left in the fourth quarter. Keola and Patrice Dang scored three goals each in the win. Gomes added two and Taesha-Marie Keola had one. Ryenn Lyons had three goals for the Warriors (11-4) and Nani Davis had two. Also scoring were Ohi Parker, Kiana Kryszka and Jessica Leialoha.

KAHUKU 5, NO. 4 HILO 4

Alex Shea scored the game-winning goal from point-blank range with 14 seconds left to lift the Red Raiders (14-2) in a quarterfinal game. Brooke Roy stole the ball in the middle of the pool with 25 seconds left and passed ahead to Shea. Minnie Whitford and Shea had two goals each and Keola Kahauelio had one. The Vikings (12-2) tied it at 4 after Hannah Bennett's five-meter penalty shot with 55 seconds left. Emma Kimata had two goals and Akela Kuwahara had one in the loss.

NO. 1 PUNAHOU 16, KALANI 4

Abby Yosaitis and LillyBelle Deer had three goals each and Chiemi Bryant, Sarina Shibata and Brailey Hirose-Hulbert had two each to lead the Buffanblu (9-0).
