Kupaʻa<\/span> Harrison has earned six Pepsi Athlete awards this season.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Two basketball standouts who are no strangers to the University of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> at Hilo<\/a> Pepsi Athlete of the Week Award are back again this week after outstanding performances on the road in wins over Holy Names.<\/p>\n

Kupaʻa<\/span> Harrison<\/strong> did it again with his last second heroics. The 6-foot-5 forward beat Holy Names with a game-winner for the second time this year, helping the Vulcans to their first road win of the season. With six seconds left from about 10 feet away, Harrison scored a three-pointer shot to defeat Holy Names. He had 27 points and nine rebounds in the 62-61 win. He has now captured six Pepsi Athlete awards this year.<\/p>\n

Allie Navarette<\/strong> continues to rewrite old UH<\/abbr> Hilo athletic records every time she takes the court. In Monday’s 67-50 road victory over Holy Names, the 6-foot junior broke three records, one of them her own. She had 34 points to tie the UH<\/abbr> Hilo single-game mark, grabbed 19 rebounds to best her previous mark of 18, and she was perfect at the free throw line at 12-for-12 to move to the top of that ladder. This is Navarette\u2019s fifth Pepsi crown this year, and her second in a row.<\/p>\n
