\"Pac<\/p>\n

University of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> at Hilo women\u2019s soccer<\/a> player Teani Arakawa<\/strong> was named PacWest<\/abbr> Player of the Week after accounting for nearly half of the Vulcans’ goals in the week of October 17–23. As a team, the Vulcans also received Team of the Week recognition.<\/p>\n

Arakawa got UH<\/abbr> Hilo on the scoreboard in the 42nd minute in a 4-0 win over Holy Names University on October 18. She also assisted on the third goal in that match. In a 3-0 victory against Biola University on October 22, she netted another two goals. Arakawa totaled seven points for the entire week.<\/p>\n

“Staying on my mark, making runs, flanking the center back—pretty much just trying to work together, making plays and scoring,” said Arakawa, regarding her focus heading into the matches.<\/p>\n

The sophomore ranks No. 4 on the team in points and is tied with two other Vulcans for No. 2 in goals on the season.<\/p>\n

PacWest Team of the Week<\/h2>\n

Outscoring Holy Names and Biola by a total tally of 7-0, the Vulcans improved to 11-0-2 on the season and to 6-0-1 in PacWest play.<\/p>\n

Daelenn Tokunaga<\/strong> scored twice against Holy Names and also scored the first goal of the match against Biola, less than two minutes into the match.<\/p>\n

The victory against Biola gave Head Coach Gene Okamura<\/strong> his 50th career win.<\/p>\n

This week, the Vulcans are in California finishing the regular season. So far, they had a 2-2 tie with Point Loma Nazarene University on October 24. They will take on Concordia University Irvine on October 27 and Azusa Pacific University on October 29.<\/p>\n

Throughout the season, the Vulcans have outscored their opponents 35-4.<\/p>\n
