Ambree Ako

University of Hawai'i sophomore forward Ambree Ako was named to Soccer Buzz Team of the Week, the first time in nearly three years a Rainbow Wahine earned the honor.

Ako was voted the Most Valuable Player at the Ohana Hotels & Resorts No Ka Oi tournament this past week after scoring three goals in two games to lead Hawai'i to the title.

She scored both goals in a 2-1 overtime win against Auburn, and another in the season-opening 4-0 win over then-No. 26 Kansas in the program's first win over a ranked opponent.

Hawai'i plays Pacific tomorrow at 7 p.m. in the Outrigger Hotels & Resorts Soccer Classic at the Waipi'o Peninsula Soccer Stadium.

AND WHAT'S MORE

Hillary Hurley had 19 kills, and Josimara Pinheiro and Fabiane Seben added 16 each as Hawai'i-Hilo (5-4) beat host Central Washington (1-8), 30-27, 25-30, 30-24, 20-30, 15-11, in a women's volleyball match.

TJ Meyer scored on a header off an assist from Nick Smith as host Chaminade (0-3-1) tied La Verne (0-3-1), 1-1, in a men's soccer match.

Hawai'i-Hilo junior forward Dustin Daley, who scored three goals in leading the Vulcans to two victories last week, has been named Pacific West Conference men's soccer Player of the Week.
