Johnson C. Smith University freshman duo of Kawehionapua Chan and Allycia Watanabe as well as head coach Jason Mai were named CIAA Player, Pitcher and Coach of the Week respectively.

Chan, who went 9-for-12 on the week, batted .750 including three doubles and two triples earning her player of the week honors.

Watanabe, a native of Waipahu, Hawaii, had an outstanding week of pitching. She was a perfect 4-0, held opponents to just .228 batting average, striking out 22 batters while walking only three.

Coach Mai led his team to six consecutive wins including four against CIAA opponents as the Lady Golden Bulls retain first place in the Western Division.
