Sefulu Fa'avae's defensive play preserved a 56-55 win for Waiakea over Roosevelt in a triple-overtime thriller in the opening round of the Hawaiian Airlines/Hawai'i High School Athletic Association Division I Girls Basketball Championships last night.

Fa'avae contested the shot of Tatiana Mariano, who had the ball and position under the basket with just ticks left on the clock, causing a held ball situation as time expired.

The triple-overtime marathon between the Rough Riders and Warriors was only the second game to go three extra frames in the 36-year history of the tournament.

Waiakea, the Big Island Interscholastic Federation runner-up, improved to 12-1 in the regular and postseason and will face No. 3 seed and Maui Interscholastic League champion Lahainaluna (14-0) in today's 5 p.m. quarterfinal at Moanalua.

Roosevelt fell to 10-7 and will face Kaimuki (15-3) in today's 3 p.m. consolation bracket game.

Daven Namohala-Roloos scored 16 points, Ciera Pacheco added 15 points and Alyssa Ferreira chipped in with 13 points for the Warriors. 

Chelsea Wong led the Rough Riders with 16 points and Kira Arruda added 13 points.

The Red Raiders led 13-4 after one period and 20-13 at halftime before Kamehameha closed it to 28-22 entering the fourth quarter.

The Warriors will play Maui High (8-7) in today's 3 p.m. consolation bracket game.
