Konawaena 9, Makua Lani 0: Kaulana Ruedy, Mikala Fernandez and Anna Tuppein scored two goals apiece to power Konawaena’s girls soccer team in Kealakekua.

With their fifth straight victory, the Wildcats (7-1-2) moved from fourth to second in the Division I standings and retained their designs on the top spot heading to the final day of the regular season. Konawaena needs a win Saturday at Waiakea and a Hilo loss at Hawaii Prep to secure the outright regular-season championship and the accompanying automatic berth to the Hawaii High School Athletic Association tournament. Regardless of how the Vikings do, the Wildcats can earn a home match in the Jan. 29 BIIF semifinals by beating the Warriors.

Nikki Kunitomo, Kyla Turpin and Keliya Kimitete-Pias rounded out the goal-scorers for the Wildcats on Wednesday. Goalkeeper Taiana Tolleson blanked the Lions (2-8).

Honokaa at Hawaii Prep, ppd: The match was postponed after heavy rain in Waimea and rescheduled for 4 p.m. today.

Boys

Waiakea 9, Hawaii Academy of Arts & Science 0: Hajime Hayano bagged a hat trick in Pahoa as the Warriors ended a three-match winless streak.

Michael Scott and Tyler Kerr each scored twice and Ryder Oshiro and Ty Yamamoto also had goals for Waiakea (7-4-2), which moved into third place in Division I, two points ahead of Konawaena (6-2-2). The Wildcats and Warriors play Saturday in Hilo.

Waiakea’s Chris Wung and Zachary Tahara both played in net against Na Naia (0-12).

Parker at Christian Liberty: The score was not available at press time.
