Punahou tops Kamehameha to win fifth straight


  



Punahou continued its dominance of state water polo with a 6-3 victory over ILH rival Kamehameha winning its fifth straight title at the Stanford Carr Development Girls Water Polo State Championships at Duke Kahanamoku Aquatic Complex.

The Buffanblu, who led 5-2 after the first period, got three goals from Sabrina Shibata, and a goal each from Colleen Fricke, Turner Wong and Lauren Boyer.
