Two senior centers have been named the UH Hilo Pepsi Athletes of the Week of their basketball performances last week against Hawaii Pacific.

Senior center Sasa Vuksanovic had back-to-back 16-point games to help lead the Vulcans to a pair of victories last week over the Sharks . The 6-foot-10 Serbian had 16 points and 12 rebounds for his seventh double-double of the season in Wednesday's 73-66 victory and added another 16 and six boards in Thursday's 64-53 triumph. He was 14-for-23 from the field, scoring on a variety of slick post moves in the paint. He helped the Vulcans improve to 9-1 on the year as they continued to move closer to an NCAA West Region postseason berth.

Senior Malia Lee had two very productive games in her final two basketball contests in Hilo. The Las Vegas native had a double-double in Wednesday's game against No. 2 nationally ranked Hawaii Pacific with 11 points and 10 rebounds, and followed that up with a near repeat performance on Thursday with eight points and nine rebounds. She missed only two shots all weekend, hitting 8-of-10 attempts from the field. The four-year Vulcan has started every game this year for her team and leads the squad in rebounds with 6.2 per contest.

Both Vulcan hoop teams will wrap up the regular season this Friday and Saturday with games at Chaminade.
