Kalani scored two goals apiece in each half to top visiting Kahuku, 4-1, Saturday afternoon in the final game of the OIA East regular season.

The Falcons (8-1-1) finished as the East's third-seeded team while the Red Raiders (5-5) are the sixth-seeded team.

Kalani took an early lead after freshman Jenson Fuse's kick ping-ponged around the goal area before finding the back of the net.

Ethan Senter, another freshman, added to the Falcons' lead when his free kick from the left side took a sharp curve into the upper corner of the goal.

In the first minutes of the second half, junior midfielder Travis Brubaker cut through the Kahuku defense for an easy goal to make it 3-0.

The Red Raiders stopped the bleeding later in the half when Jonah Cicatko's throw-in found Joseph Taufa, who headed the ball into the goal.

Kalani's final score came on a penalty kick just seconds before the center official blew the final whistle. Senior Jason Choi hit a kick towards the left side that sliced through the Kahuku keeper's right hand.
