Hawaii Hilo soccer player Daelenn Tokunaga was named the Pacific West Conference Female Scholar-Athlete of the Year.

Tokunaga, a Pearl City High graduate, is an administration of justice major with a 3.83 grade-point average through the spring semester.

Last week, the junior was named UHH’s first PacWest Women’s Soccer Scholar-Athlete of the Year.

On the field, Tokunaga, who transferred from UH Manoa, helped lead the Vulcans to their first conference soccer title and first NCAA tournament appearance and was Hilo’s first PacWest Player of the Year.

“All of the success and awards are in no way possible without my teammates,” she said. “Hopefully we continue that momentum into 2022 and accomplish even greater things.”

Tokunaga led the NCAA Division II West Region in scoring with 13 goals and three assists for the 12-4 Vulcans.
