Hawaii Pacific’s Evi Roobol went 4-0 against PacWest opponents Biola and Dominican to earn Player of the Week honors. The sophomore, who played No. 1 for the Sharks last year as well, teamed with Annika Hakovirta to win on court one against Biola, 6-0 and then fought through a tough opponent in BU’s Ivet Stancheva, 6-1, 4-6, 6-4 to help secure the 6-1 team win.

TEAM OF THE WEEK: Hawaii Pacific Sharks                                                                                                                                                   
Hawaii Pacific picked up two big wins in head-to-head matches against Biola and Dominican on Oahu last week. In the tight match against the Penguins, the Sharks won the doubles point and then earned wins on court one (Evi Roobol), court two (Tereza Noah) and court five (Rosa Viller Moeller). HPU had a 4-1 lead before the Penguins won three-set matches on courts six and four for the final 4-3 score. The match against the Eagles was closer than the 6-1 score would indicate, with Roobol and Willow Dymkowski both needing three sets to win. Annika Hakovirta also had a tight match on court four with Isabella Karam, 6-4, 7-6 (7-5). HPU is now 2-2, but the two losses were to Division I teams CSU Fullerton and Sacramento State.
