Moanalua regrouped and was within 18-15 in the second set, but Teke Bower had three big blocks-and two of his three kills-to give the Buffanblu a key edge. Moanalua led 5-2 before succumbing to the serving of Haine and Matthew Chun. Teammate Aidan Tune had a team-high four kills and Haine tallied three kills in Punahou's balanced attack. Thompson, a high-flying left-handed opposite, drilled three kills in the opening set and added a block.

Backup setter Aidan Rigg, a 6-6 junior, had 16 of his 20 assists and two kills in the third game. Jack Lyons finished with six kills and an assist, and USC-bound Riley Haine had five kills before sitting in the middle of the second set.Ĭlini, a 6-3 sophomore, had all eight of his kills in the third set, along with an ace and two assists.
