For the fifth straight year, Hawaii Pacific University is the winner of the PacificWest Conference’s Hawaii Challenge. Through the fall and winter seasons, the Sharks scored 16 points to secure the top spot against fellow Hawaii Division II schools Chaminade and Hawaii Hilo.

HPU earned first-place points in four of six sports (women’s cross country, women’s soccer, women’s volleyball and women’s basketball) and second-place points in the other two (men’s soccer and men’s basketball).

Chaminade came in second with 12 points and earned first-place points in men’s soccer. UH Hilo finished in third with eight points, scoring second-place points in women’s soccer and men’s and women’s basketball.

Due to the cancellations of spring sports (men’s golf, softball, women’s tennis), those competitions were not counted in the final tally.
