Hana took the lead back on a 2-yard touchdown run by Rodrigues and led 12-8 at the break.
The third-quarter scoring was all Hana, with a safety and a 44-yard touchdown run by Kaohu Kmai extending the Dragons' lead to 20-8.
Lanai scored twice in the fourth quarter, with Benanua running for an 8-yard touchdown and later connecting with Blaze Burkett on a 67-yard touchdown pass.
