Yasue, Fontes Named HPH Athletes of the Week

Chaminade University goalkeeper Brandon Yasue (Honolulu/Kaiser) and forward Randi Fontes (Wahiawa, O'ahu, Hawai'i/Hawai'i/Pearl City HS) are the Hawai'i Pacific Health Silversword Male and Female Athletes of the Week for games between Feb. 15 and 21.
 
Yasue, a junior, made his first career start in the men's soccer team's season opener Saturday against Hawai'i Pacific University after spending the previous two years as a reserve. He made eight saves and kept the Sharks out of the net until HPU got the golden goal on a header in the 106th minute.
 
Fontes was named the Pacific West Conference Hawai'i Pod Player of the Week after scoring the game-winning goal in the 68th minute to complete a 2-1 come-from-behind win over HPU in Saturday's opener. It was the senior's ninth career goal, putting her two behind Twyla Hamasaki for second all-time. The 'Swords' win over the Sharks was their first since September 2008, snapping a 24-game winless streak to their rivals.
