Kaulana Ruedy, Mikala Fernandez and Anathena Tuppein scored two goals apiece Wednesday night to power Konawaena to a 9-0 victory against Makua Lani in a Big Island Interscholastic Federation girls soccer match in Kealakekua.
With their fifth straight victory, the Wildcats (7-1-2) moved from fourth to second in the Division I standings and retained their designs on the top spot heading to the final day of the regular season. Konawaena needs a win Saturday at Waiakea and a Hilo loss at Hawaii Preparatory Academy to secure the outright regular-season championship and the accompanying automatic berth to the Hawaii High School Athletic Association tournament. Regardless of how the Vikings fare, the Wildcats can earn a home match in the Jan. 29 BIIF semifinals by beating the Warriors (7-2-1).
Nikki Kunitomo, Kyla Turpin and Keliya Kimitete-Pias rounded out the goal-scorers for the Wildcats on Wednesday. Goalkeeper Taiana Tolleson blanked the Lions (2-8).
