It will be Iolani against Moanalua in the semifinals of the New City Nissan Division I Boys Volleyball Championships.

Both the Raiders and Na Menehune swept their respective opponents Thursday night at McKinley's Student Council Gymnasium in the quarterfinals of the 12-team tournament to advance to the final four. First serve between the two teams is slated Friday at 5 p.m. on Moanalua's home court.
