UH'S MASON HONORED
Hawai'i's Kelly Mason was named the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Mikasa Player of the Week in women's water polo yesterday.
Mason, a sophomore utility from Auckland, New Zealand, scored 12 goals in leading the fourth-ranked Rainbow Wahine to three home-opening MPSF victories at the Duke Kahanamoku Aquatic Complex.
She scored two goals in a 10-9 overtime victory over No. 6 San Diego State, then scored five goals in an 11-9 win over No. 12 Long Beach State and five in a 12-8 triumph over No. 10 Arizona State.
Mason is second in the MPSF in scoring with a 3.0 goals per match average.
Hawai'i, which is 6-3 overall and 4-1 in the MPSF, will next play at UCLA tomorrow and UC Irvine Friday before competing in UC Irvine's Anteater Invitational over the weekend.
