IRVINE, Calif. – After each finishing in first place in their respective pods, Chaminade and Point Loma combined to win all five of the PacWest’s special awards, leading selections on the All-PacWest team.
Randi Fontes is the first player in Chaminade history to be named the PacWest Player of the Year in women’s soccer. The program’s all-time leading scorer recorded five goals in just four games to earn the award as she led Chaminade to a first-place finish in the Hawai`i Pod.
Lauren O’Malley is the PacWest Defender of the Year for Point Loma as the Sea Lions went undefeated this season.
Emma Hinson is the PacWest Goalkeeper of the Year and the two leaders of the Sea Lions’ defense allowed just one goal all season. Both players lived up to the expectations after receiving the preseason version of the same awards prior to the start of the season.
Hoku Schatz is the PacWest Newcomer of the Year after playing all but two minutes this season. She was a key part of the Silverswords’ defense which only allowed five goals on the season, as many as Fontes scored by herself.
Michelle Richardson was recognized by her peers as the PacWest Coach of the Year after the Silverswords finished the year with a zero in the loss column and the most points in the Hawai`i Pod.
Six players were named to their third-career All-PacWest team, including O’Malley, Hinson and Fontes. The other three are
Carmany Jones from Concordia,
Katelyn Penner from Biola and
Molly Melanson from Concordia.
Dominican had six players named to the All-PacWest team after going undefeated in the Northern California Pod with only one goal allowed all season. For all six players, it was their first career all-conference recognition.
