"We made one mistake, and Punahou is such a good team, they're going to take advantage of that," Raiders coach Chris Lee said.

'Iolani had four shots on goal in the first half, but Buffanblu goalkeeper Charlie Yamamoto made four saves to preserve the shutout.

The Raiders' best opportunity in the second half came in the 64th minute, when a shot by Patrick Shimoko from the right flank ricocheted off the near post and out of bounds.
