PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Hawaii Pacific’s Makayla Pagampoa, INF, Soph., 5-4, Waipahu, Hawaii    
Hawaii Pacific’s Makayla Pagampoa swung a hot bat during the Sharks doubleheader split with Cal Poly Humboldt. The Oahu native went 5-for-7 (.714) with five RBI and two doubles, going 2-for-3 with her team’s two RBI in a game one loss, and then was 3-for-4 with three RBI and a double in the 5-4 win. In that second game, the sophomore infielder drove in two runs in the fourth to break a 1-1 tie, and then added insurance in the sixth with another run driven home.

PITCHER OF THE WEEK: Concordia’s Jayden Nishi, LHP, Jr., 5-1, Torrance, Calif.                            
Concordia’s Jayden Nishi pitched the Golden Eagles to a win over CSU San Bernardino during a doubleheader split in Irvine on Saturday. The third-year Concordia standout pitched five innings and allowed five hits, no walks and one earned run in the 8-1 victory. She needed just 65 pitches to improve to 3-1 on the season and drop her ERA to 1.99. It is the second-ever Pitcher of the Week award for the left-hander, who was a Third Team All-PacWest pick last year as a sophomore.

TEAM OF THE WEEK: The PacWest Team of the Week is the Hawaii Hilo Vulcans. The Vulcans dodged rain drops to score a pair of walk-off wins over Cal Poly Humboldt in their 2026 home openers. Morgan Fontela drove in the winning run in the first game, and was at the plate when a wild pitch ended game two. Kanoe Piltz scored both winning runs. Harley Acosta was 3-for-3 in the second game and dropped down the game-tying squeeze bunt in the first. Madison Rabe earned the pitching win with 1.2 finishing innings, and Madi Lee did the same in the second game with two perfect stanzas to close out the contest. The Vulcans are now 3-4 on the season.
