Chaminade took a total of six shots with
Jamin Fonseca (Mililani, O'ahu, Hawai'i/Mililani) and
Joseph Wren (Kapolei, O'ahu, Hawai'i/Utah Valley University/Kapolei HS) each taking two chances at the net.
Four 'Swords field players played all 90 minutes including
Takahiro Kosins (Tokyo, Japan/Colorado Mesa Univeristy/Kalani, Hawai'i, HS),
Lono Kaialau (Waianae, O'ahu, Hawai'i/Damien), Zack McClellan (San Marcos, Calif./San Marcos) and
Lyric De Leon (Kapolei, O'ahu, Hawai'i/Grand Canyon University/Kapolei HS).
