Two UH Hilo student-athletes that help their Vulcan teams gain a split of matches against Chaminade and Hawaii Pacific on Oahu over the weekend are the Pepsi Athletes of the Week.

Alexandria Parisian put together another pair of well-rounded matches as the Vulcans split on Oahu against Chaminade (win) and Hawaii Pacific (loss). In the four-set win over No. 21 Chaminade she had 11 kills, a season-high four aces, 12 digs and 16 total points. In the five-set loss to the sharks, she had a 2021-high 14 kills, four block assists, a season-best 16 digs and 16 total points. On the season the California senior is second on the Vulcans in kills (2.77 per set) and is second in block assists (13). 

David Mayser helped Hawai`i Hilo win its season opener against Chaminade by scoring both goals in the 2-1 overtime victory. He played 58 minutes in the match as the Vulcans came from behind get the win. Chaminade scored the first goal of the match to take a 1-0 lead. Then in the 50th minute, the Vulcans earned a penalty kick, which Mayser took. He scored on that opportunity to tie the match, 1-1. Then in the 94th minute, he scored a golden goal. It was an unassisted goal as Mayser dribbled to the top of the box and then rifled a shot to the lower-right corner of the goal, blasting it past the goalkeeper for the game-winning goal. Those two shots are the only two that Mayser has taken this year. The Munich, Germany native was also named the PacWest Men's Soccer Player of the Week.
