Latin Hawaii booters
take MISO crown

Marcelo Rodriguez, Matt Gallagher and Chava Cabrera scored in a penalty-kicks shootout to carry Latin Hawaii past Lanikai Tuesday in the championship match of the Men's Island Soccer Organization playoffs yesterday after the finalists battled to a 1-1 standoff through regulation and overtime play.

Gino Barahona redirected a Marcelo Rodriguez corner kick into the Lanikai Tuesday net to give Latin Hawaii a 1-0 lead in the 15th minute.

Lanikai tied it in the final minute of regulation when John Polhemus converted a long free kick by Gary Wiegand.

In the best-of-five shootout, Latin Hawaii made its first three tries, clinching the win when Lanikai Tuesday missed its first three.
