"It was a great win for the guys," said HPU coach Scott Liedtke. "They worked hard this weekend and you could tell this was something they all wanted to accomplish."

Bukoski's goal came off an assist from Jim Terry as the Sea Warriors improved to 2-1 after a hard-fought, physical match that produced 42 fouls and nine yellow cards.

Eduardo Ayala took three shots for the Vulcans (1-5).

In the third-place game, Chris Wood had three goals and an assist at Brigham Young-Hawai'i rallied for a 5-3 victory over Chaminade.
