Team Mauka finished the 22-17 comeback victory at the 2023 Polynesian Bowl on the backs of Tennessee quarterback Nico Iamaleava, who led the game-winning drive, and Ole Miss running back commit Kendrick Reescano, who rushed for 104 yards and punched in the game-winning, eight-yard touchdown run.
Iamaleava was named Offensive MVP of the game after throwing 13-for-20 with 186 passing yards, an interception and a 34-yard touchdown pass to USC receiver commit Zachariah Branch. Iamaleava, a five-star QB prospect, also rushed for 63 yards, according to 247Sports.
Stanford kicker commit Aidan Flintoft connected on three field goals for Mauka.
