Defending champion Kendall held a slender 1-0 lead at the half on a goal by Jonathan Esposito on a rebound off a scramble in front of the Gananda net with 13 minutes to go in the opening half.
The Eagles then broke the game open with five goals in the second half including three by Brandon Barrett and two by Pablo Rosario-Reyes.
Esposito also had two assists as Rosario-Reyes, Tyler McCue and Mikey Colucci each had one.
Jonny Conte made 8 saves in goal for the Eagles as Jonas Rhodes had a strong game defensively.
Improving to 18-0, Kendall will now face No. 2 Naples in the Class C2 championship game at 1 p.m. Saturday at Honeoye Falls- Lima. Naples blanked No. 3 Geneseo 4-0 in the other semifinal.
