Versatile Hawai`i Hilo sophomore Jenna Waki has been named the Pacific West Conference Hawaii Pod Player of the Week for her work in two Vulcan wins over the weekend at Chaminade.

Waki filled up the stat sheet in Hawai`i Hilo's first two wins of the season as the Vulcans improved to 2-2 on the season. In the first win, Waki scored 10 points on 5 of 9 shooting from the field and added five rebounds, one assist and a block. The following day, Waki scored a career-high 13 points, making 6 of 7 shots from the free throw line. She also had eight rebounds in the win for the Vulcans with six coming on the defensive end. She played a key role in holding the Silverswords to just 38 points with her two blocks and one steal. Waki is now averaging 8.3 points and 3.8 rebounds on the season and is making 33.3 percent of shots from beyond the arc and is shooting 82 percent from the free throw line.

Waki, a sophomore from Sacramento, started in 23 games last year as a freshman. Her and her UH Hilo teammates now prep this week for games at No. 3 nationally ranked Hawaii Pacific, this Saturday and Sunday on Oahu.
