This week’s University of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> at Hilo<\/a> Pepsi Athletes of the Week are Angel Prewitt<\/strong> from the women’s softball team and Luca Matheiowetz<\/strong> from the men’s tennis team.<\/p>\n

The UH<\/abbr> Hilo softball team is on a 17-game road trip where they are playing the top teams in the conference including nationally ranked No. 1 Concordia.<\/p>\n

After they face the conference’s current best, they head off to Stanislaus’ Tournament of Champions in Turlock, Calif. where they will play five games.<\/p>\n

Prewitt, a senior from Wash., led her team’s offense the past week batting .438 with seven hits out of 16 at-bats and drove in one RBI<\/abbr>. Prewitt’s lone RBI<\/abbr> was responsible for the Vulcans only run in their 6-1 loss.<\/p>\n

Prewitt was also impressive with her .545 on-base percentage, with four walks and a hit by pitch in addition to her seven hits.<\/p>\n

The UH<\/abbr> Hilo men’s tennis team just returned home from a significant California road trip where they played seven matches against PacWest opponents. The Vulcans came up 5-2 on the road, winning the last five matches in a row. Matheiowetz was a big part in all of his team’s wins going 7-0 in singles.<\/p>\n

Matheiowetz was also the only player to win in both of UH<\/abbr> Hilo’s 5-2 losses against Azusa Pacific University and Biola University.<\/p>\n
