Eastern Washington University sophomore outside hitter Ka‘iulani Ahuna’s apprenticeship served her well, considering she’s not only starting but also earning conference weekly honors.
The 2015 Kamehameha graduate was recently named the Big Sky Offensive Player of the Week after lifting the Eagles over South division leader Northern Arizona and Southern Utah last week.
EWU (9-6, 4-2) is in the Big Sky’s North division, behind North Dakota (13-8, 5-1), which beat the Eagles in four sets on Sept. 30. Ahuna had a double-double with 10 kills and 20 digs.
After that loss, Ahuna had a double-double (18 kills and 19 digs) in a four-set win against Northern Arizona, also the outright defending champion, last Thursday at home, handing the Lumberjacks their first conference loss.
