Sefulu Fa'avae's defensive play preserved a 56-55 win for Waiakea over Roosevelt in a triple-overtime thriller in the opening round of the Hawaiian Airlines/Hawai'i High School Athletic Association Division I Girls Basketball Championships last night.

Fa'avae contested the shot of Tatiana Mariano, who had the ball and position under the basket with just ticks left on the clock, causing a held ball situation as time expired.

The triple-overtime marathon between the Rough Riders and Warriors was only the second game to go three extra frames in the 36-year history of the tournament.

Waiakea, the Big Island Interscholastic Federation runner-up, improved to 12-1 in the regular and postseason and will face No. 3 seed and Maui Interscholastic League champion Lahainaluna (14-0) in today's 5 p.m. quarterfinal at Moanalua.

Roosevelt fell to 10-7 and will face Kaimuki (15-3) in today's 3 p.m. consolation bracket game.

Daven Namohala-Roloos scored 16 points, Ciera Pacheco added 15 points and Alyssa Ferreira chipped in with 13 points for the Warriors.

The Red Raiders led 13-4 after one period and 20-13 at halftime before Kamehameha closed it to 28-22 entering the fourth quarter.
