Hekari United FC from Papua New Guinea has qualified for the semifinals of the 2025 Oceania Women's Champions League.
Hekari only needed a draw to progress but defeated AS Pirae 2-0 on Sunday, Tahiti time (Monday for most of the region).
Both goals came in the first half, one to Michaelyne Butubu and one to Shalom Waida.
Hekari will face Fiji's Ba Women FC in the first semi-final on Wednesday, Tahiti time.
Ba had defeated Tupapa Maraerenga from the Cook Islands 3-1 to seal their semifinal spot.
All three of Ba's goals came inside the first 25 minutes, with a double to Koleta Likuculacula.
Defending champions Auckland United FC play Henderson Eels FC of Solomon Islands in the second semifinal later that day.
Henderson came out of group play with one win and one loss.
Auckland wrapped up their group play with an 11-0 win over PanSa from American Samoa on Sunday.
Auckland United FC coach Ben Bate had made nine changes to the side which beat Hekari 2-1 last week.
Chloe Knott scored three of Auckland's goals in the first half and player of the match Pia Vlok, who came on as a substitute, slotted three goals in the second.
For PanSa, goalkeeper Rayxena Foma'i made a number of saves which helped prevent the score from blowing out further.

Super Rugby semifinals: History favours Chiefs and Crusaders
The Chiefs host the Brumbies on Saturday night.

The Crusaders and Chiefs are hosts and favourites to beat the defending champion Blues and ACT Brumbies respectively, but the visitors have plenty of reasons to be motivated and will fancy their chances of an upset. Photo: Jeremy Ward/Photosport The Chiefs were beaten by the Blues last Saturday but still advanced to the semifinals by virtue of being the highest ranked loser from the opening round of the playoffs. Chiefs lock Naitoa Ah Kuoi said they're determined to make the most of their second chance. "We were top of the table coming into the playoffs which gave us a lifeline and we can't waste it," Ah Kuoi said. "We've got to be grateful that we're here and make sure we nail that opportunity." The Chiefs, beaten finalists the last two seasons, haven't won a title since 2013, and Ah Kuoi said that, and last week's defeat, has them fired up for Saturday night's do or die clash with the Brumbies in Hamilton. "For us there's no motivation needed besides the fact that it's a semifinal," he said. "We know what's going to be coming, we know they're going to be coming hard for us at home. "We're trying to make sure our home field is a fortress and that didn't happen last week. We're trying to make amends and also do one better than the previous years." Naitoa Ah Kuoi. Photo: Jeremy Ward / Photosport History is against the Brumbies but they will be buoyed by the Blues victory over the Chiefs as the Australians seek to win their first Super Rugby title since 2004. The Brumbies have lost four straight semifinals in New Zealand and haven't won a final four playoff since 2013. They're also underdogs with the bookies. First-five Noah Lolesio said the Blues proved the Chiefs could be beaten at home. "It shows that if you show up physically with the right mindset, you put yourself in a good position to win," Lolesio said. "That's where our heads are at as a team. We know, backs and forwards, it's going to be a physical battle." Noah Lolesio scores a try. Photo: Mark Metcalfe / Getty Lolesio has extra motivation to keep the Brumbies season alive. The Wallabies playmaker is heading to Japan at the end of the year, leaving the Super Rugby team he's been with since 2020. "I'm giving everything into this game and this weekend if selected. Knowing that it could be my last," Lolesio said. "This organisation [Brumbies] have been so good to me every year since I came to Canberra as a 17-year-old. "The last three or four years have led to this moment and I can't wait." On Friday night, the Crusaders host the defending champion Blues and history is also against the visitors. The Crusaders have never lost a playoff game at home, winning all 30 finals matches in Christchurch. If they beat the Blues they will secure a record eighth home Super Rugby final. Coach Rob Penney said the Crusaders love playing in front of their fans. "Hopefully get a great crowd in," Penney said. "That always gives the boys a real impetus and a lot of energy. The Crusader crowds, there's none better." Photo: Joseph Johnson/ActionPress Blues coach Vern Cotter insisted they're not intimidated by the Crusaders home playoff record. "That's the key thing. Going down to Canterbury, we're aware of their record. Thirty without losing. One day they're going to lose and they've got the pressure of that on top of them. "They're going to lose one day. When I was [coach] at [French club] Clermont, we won 77 [home] games in a row and, in the end, the pressure was heavy. "One day we knew it was going to happen. They're on 30 and one day its going to happen. Will it be this week? I don't know but the boys will be up to push it as best they can." Cotter believed the defending champions will rise to the occasion. "The guys know how to win big games," Cotter said. "That's what it's about, winning big games and enjoying it. Enjoying helping each other. It could be 80 minutes, it could be longer. We're actually looking at extra time stuff, so the boys are preparing themselves for a rugged evening."

Pasifika Sipoti in brief for 12 June
Fijian Drua fans at Churchill Park, Lautoka. Photo: PHOTOSPORT The Fijian Drua have revealed a new player signing ahead of the 2026 Super Rugby Pacific season. Canberra-based centre Iosefo Namoce has signed a two-year deal with the Nadi-based franchise. The Drua are expected to release 10 players at the end of this season, and recruit a couple of other players in the next few weeks for the 2026 season. The PNG Hunters head coach Paul Aiton has made changes to the team facing the Sunshine Coas Falcons, in a Hostplus Cup rugby league match in Port Moresby this weekend. The National newspaper reports fullback Sanny Wabo - was injured in the 16-50 loss to the Redcliffe Dolphins last weekend - is being replaced by debutant Douglas David. The PNG Hunters have dropped to eighth, from sixth spot, and a win against the seventh-placed Falcons can see them go back one slot up. Former Wallabies halfback Will Genia - who has Papua New Guinea heritage - returned home at the weekend to play club rugby for the team he started his career with. The National reported 36-year-old Genia helped his Valley Hunters team to a 26-19 win over the Crusaders in the Capital Rugby Union competition. Genia said he was happy to be back where it all started for him as a 16-year-old, and he is yet to make up his mind on whether to continue playing or take up coaching in Japan. Genia retired from international rugby after the 2019 Rugby World Cup in Japan, having earned 110 international caps for the Wallabies. The Fiji under-21 women's netball squad will compete in a warm-up tournament in Suva next month, as part of their Netball World Youth Cup preparations. FBC News reported the tournament will run from 7-11 July at the Vodafone Arena in Suva. Head coach Simone Nalatu said they will field two Fiji under-21 teams, made up of players in their 27-member squad. Fiji will be joined by Cook Islands, Samoa and Tonga at the 2025 Netball World Youth Cup in Gibraltar. Two Papua New Guinea weightlifters, named to compete at the Pacific Mini Games in Palau at the end of this month, are excited about the opportuity to compete against the region's best. The Post Courier reported Kari Anna Mea and Rarua Tolana Mavara are part of the 12-member team that will compete at the Games. The duo acknowledged the support of top PNG lifters like Dika Toua, Morea Baru and Steven Kari, who assisted in their development as lifters. Mea will be making her debut while Marana had first represented PNG at the 2015 Pacific Games. New Zealand weightlifer David Liti says he wants to inpsire the next generation of athletes when he competes at the Pacific Mini Games in Palau later this month. Speaking on PMN's Pacific Mornings program, Liti said that despite his international success at events like the Olympics and Commonwealth Games, he is motivated by the opportunity to encourage young athletes closer to home. He said inspiring young children who might follow his rise in weightlifting could "spark a journey for them to be one of the greats in the future". Liti, who is of Tongan heritage, is part of Team New Zealand to the Games, which officially opens on 29 June in Koror, Palau. Vanuatu Judo will have seven members at the Pacific Mini Games. Vanuatu Daily Post reported the team includes 16-year-old debutant Kaina Derliue. Vanuatu claimed three medals at the 2023 Pacific Games in Honiara, and Monvoisin said they are hpeful they can repeat the same in Palau.
