Yasue, Torres-Benito Earns HPH Silversword Athlete Honors

Chaminade University goalkeeper Brandon Yasue (Honolulu/Kaiser) and forward Shantel Torres-Benito (Waipahu, O'ahu, Hawai'i/Sacramento State/Iolani HS) have been named the Hawai'i Pacific Health Silversword Male and Female Silversword Athletes of the Week for the competition between Aug. 30 and Sept. 5.
 
Yasue earned his first career win and shutout in the men's soccer team's 2-0 season-opening win over Hawai'i Pacific on Saturday. He made two saves and preserved the 'Swords' lead in the final 47 minutes.
 
Torres-Benito scored the game-winning goal with just 32 seconds remaining, blasting a shot just outside the box to give the women's soccer team a thrilling 2-1 win over Central Washington in Nampa, Idaho on Saturday. The victory evened the 'Swords' first-ever non-conference road trip east of the Pacific time zone.
