Kealakehe’s victory last Friday against Konawaena didn’t come without disappointment for coach soccer Urs Leuenberger, who would have liked to have seen his team finish better.
On Wednesday night against Makua Lani, the Waveriders’ finishing department was open for business.
Laukoa Santos and Josh Lopez each scored twice at Waverider Stadium as Kealakehe scored six unanswered goals to overwhelm the Lions 7-1 in a Big Island Interscholastic Federation boys match.
“A lot of things we worked on in practice all came together tonight,” Leuenberger said. “We dominated from the first minute to the last.”
Tyler Deverse opened the scoring for Kealakehe (3-0-0), which will travel to Waiakea on Saturday in a battle of undefeated teams.
Makua Lani (0-1-1) was encouraged by a draw in its opener at Hawaii Prep. But after the Lions’ Aidan Alcos tied the match 1-1, the Waveriders poured it on.
Ari Mench and Tate Whitney also tacked on goals.
“We were firing on all pistons,” Leuenberger said. “Getting the ball in front of the net and finishing.”
