\"2026<\/p>\n

The University of Hawaiʻi<\/span> at Hilo softball team<\/a> placed three players on the All-PacWest Conference postseason awards list, as the Vulcans prepare for the conference tournament.<\/p>\n

Left fielder Lexie Tilton headlined the group, repeating as PacWest Defender of the Year while also earning All-PacWest Second Team honors. Tilton became part of a growing tradition under head coach Aisha Sueda, marking the program\u2019s fourth Defender of the Year selection since 2022. She previously earned All-PacWest recognition in 2024 and 2025.<\/p>\n

Pitcher Janessa Santos was named to the All-PacWest First Team after a dominant season in the circle. Santos ranked among the conference\u2019s top five in multiple pitching categories, including a league-best .174 opposing batting average.<\/p>\n

Right fielder Rayna White rounded out Hilo\u2019s honorees with an All-PacWest Second Team selection, leading the Vulcans offensively. White also earned second team recognition in 2024.<\/p>\n

The four-team PacWest Championships run May 5\u20137 in La Mirada, California, with the Vulcans opening tournament play against Biola on May 5.<\/p>\n
