Punahou went to work on the practice floor after losing to Mid-Pacific in five sets two weeks ago. The win ensured a third-place finish and the third seed in the upcoming playoffs (round two). A Mid-Pacific win would have created a third-place tie with Punahou with one more match remaining — and the Owls would’ve had a head-to-head tiebreaker advantage. Kamehameha is 5-3 and clinched the second seed. “We went through a rough patch this past week, so we needed to make practice harder than the game,” Cox said.
