WAIPAHU -- Lauren Uehara scored the tying goal in the 71st minute and Mililani out-shot Pearl City, 4-2, in penalty kicks after two overtimes last night for a 2-1 victory in the JN Automotive/Hawai'i High School Athletic Association Girls Soccer State Championship semifinals.

A crowd of 909 at Waipi'o Peninsula Soccer Stadium watched the No. 2 seed and O'ahu Interscholastic Association champ Trojans improve to 14-0-2 in the regular and postseason. They will face 'Interscholastic League of Honolulu runner-up 'Iolani (11-1-2) in today's 5 p.m. semifinal in a game that will be televised live statewide on OC16.

Pearl City, which finished third in the OIA, fell to 11-4-3 and into today's fifth-place bracket semifinal against No. 3 seed and Maui Interscholastic League champion Baldwin (15-1-1) at 3 p.m. at Field 8.

The Chargers took a 1-0 lead last night on Christina Maeda's rebound shot from about 12 yards out in the 51st minute. Uehara tied it 20 minutes later by punching it in from close range off a corner kick.

After two scoreless overtime periods, Pearl City shot first in the penalty kick tiebreaker and missed wide right. Kristen Fujinaga then converted her kick for Mililani, before Alix Suwa tied it at 1-1 with a similar shot into the lower left corner.

Mimi Nakagawa put the Trojans up, 2-1, with a shot that ricocheted off the right post before bouncing in, and Kelsie Ng tied it at 2-2 on a laser shot up the middle. 

Cori Komiyama then gave Mililani a 3-2 lead with a shot into the lower left corner, and the Chargers' ensuing attempt was blocked by the keeper.

Brooke Yoshimura finally ended it by shooting successfully into the upper right "V."


'IOLANI 2, BALDWIN 0

Krystal Pascua scored on a header in the sixth minute off a cross by freshman Emily Tanaka and Sam Dacanay punched in the second goal from point-blank range off a cross from Hana Tomozawa to lift the Raiders past the Bears in semifinal action yesterday afternoon.
