Waiakea outside hitter Kayla Kahauolopua offered a master class in shot-making while fellow senior Jordyn Hayashi played blanket defense on the volleyball court like she normally does.
Behind that combination of offense and defense, Waiakea defeated Kamehameha 27-25, 17-25, 25-23, 25-18 in a BIIF Division I showdown Thursday night at the Warriors Gym.
Kahauolopua cranked 21 kills, and Hayashi picked up 29 digs, stabilized the serve-receive and was an effective second setter on out-of-system or scramble plays.
Junior setter Angel Navor did a nice job finding the hot hammer and distributing the ball. Melina DeVela added 14 kills, fellow senior middle blocker Jazzy Alston had six, and opposite Cadelynn Kahauolopua had six kills for Waiakea (7-1).
