Aiea posted another double-digit win and went up 2-0 in the OIA Division II West standings after rolling past Waipahu, 56-40, Thursday night.

Maurice Patton, who is averaging 14.5 points per game in two league games, scored a game-high 17 points with two 3-pointers to lead Na Alii.

Stefan Ognjanovic added 12 and Taylor Moku and Santi Sarbeland each added eight to round out a balanced Aiea scoring effort.

The visiting Na Alii took a 30-16 lead at half-time and doubled up the Marauders (0-2 OIA) by taking a 24-point lead going into the fourth.

Alfred Pascual (10 points) was the only Marauder to score in double figures as Waipahu outscored Aiea in the final period.

Na Alii takes on Radford (0-2) at Jim Alegre Gymnasium on Saturday, Dec. 30 at 7 pm. The Marauders look to crack into the win column as they go to Pearl City (0-1) on the same night.
