HONOLULU – Chaminade University catcher/third baseman
Keaolani Takemura (Pearl City, O'ahu, Hawai'i/Mid-Pacific Institute) and men's golfer
Ethan Alexander (New Rochelle, N.Y./Fordham Prep) are the Hawai'i Pacific Health Silversword Female and Male Athletes of the Week for competition between March 6-12.
Takemura hit .571 during the week including a blistering .786 (11-of-14) in the final four games of the softball team's doubleheaders against Azusa Pacific and Baldwin Wallace. The junior set a school record with base hits in seven consecutive at-bats during the APU series and is currently on an eight-game hit streak.
Alexander fired a team-low 158 for the men's golf team at last week's Northwest Nazarene Pioneer Invitational in Livermore, California, recording 7-over-par 79s in both rounds. It's the second time this season the freshman has broken 80 in both rounds in a single tournament this season.
