Final PWC hoops honors handed out
For a second straight week, Hawaii Pacific’s Amy Baum was named the Pacific West Conference Hawaii Pod women’s basketball Player of the Week.
The 5-foot-7 junior guard helped the Sharks (13-0 overall, 12-0 Pacific West Conference) to an unbeaten run through the Hawaii Pod en route to a berth in this week’s NCAA Division II tournament as the fifth seed in the West Regional. Baum is averaging 14.7 points per game, 7.4 rebounds per game and a Division II-leading nine assists per game.
Hawaii Hilo’s Darren Williams took home the honor as the final recipient of the Pacific West Conference Hawaii Pod men’s basketball Player of the Week.
The junior guard scored 42 points last week in the two-game series against Chaminade, which the Vulcans split with the Silverswords. The Vulcans finished 10-2 and clinched the Hawaii Pod title, but did not receive a bid into the West Region of the NCAA Division II Men’s Basketball Championships.
