Two players that kept the opponents off the scoreboard have been named the first University of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> at Hilo<\/a> Pepsi Athletes of the Week for 2019–20. Women’s soccer defender Jodi Lillie and volleyball middle blocker Ashton Jessee had standout weekends as their teams kicked off the Vulcan season.<\/p>\n

Lillie helped the Vulcan defense give up just one standard goal over two double-overtime matches in northern California. Lillie\u2019s defense didn\u2019t allow a score of any kind in 110 minutes of play against Cal State East Bay (0-0 tie). Named to the PacWest All-Preseason Team by the league’s coaches, Lillie was a First Team All-PacWest pick last year as a freshman.<\/p>\n

Ashton Jessee<\/h2>\n

Jessee helped the Vulcan volleyball team get off to a 3-1 start at the Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> Challenge on Oʻahu<\/span>. The 6-foot-3 Anchorage, Alaska, native had a total of 17 block assists in four matches, the top mark in that category in the PacWest. She had a total of 28 kills, a .377 attack percentage and eight service aces.<\/p>\n
