PAC-5 Clinches Third Consecutive Girls’ Soccer State Title
Maryknoll Athletics
Congratulations again to our 3-time Pac-Five Girls Varsity II Soccer State Champions! In the division II girls soccer championship match on Saturday at the Waipio Peninsula Soccer Complex, Pac-Five recorded 1-0 win over Kamehameha-Hawai‘i after two overtimes and penalty kicks.
"The Pac-Five girls soccer team controlled play for most of regulation and overtime but couldn’t find the back of the net Saturday against Kamehameha-Hawaii. No such problem for the Wolfpack in the penalty-kick shootout.
Pac-Five went 5-for-5 in the shootout to defeat No. 2 seed Kamehameha-Hawaii 1-0 (5-4 PKs) in the final of the Motiv8 Foundation/HHSAA Girls Division II State Championships at Waipio Peninsula Soccer Complex’s main stadium.
“This was one heck of a game right here,” Pac-Five co-coach Rich Wentling said. “This should go down as one of the greatest games for Division II in years. Two teams fought it out till the end. Unfortunately, somebody has to lose, and it wasn’t us.”
Jaeana Monalim, Solala Nasu, Camrynn Nitta, Hayley Smith and Kana Smith made PKs for the Wolfpack. Smith’s shot into the left side of the goal ended it." - Kyle Sakamoto, StarAdvertiser.com
