Sharks Split Senior Day Doubleheader with PacWest-Bound Vulcans

On a day that celebrated leadership, resilience, and growth, Hawai‘i Pacific softball delivered a fitting Senior Day performance—opening with a statement win before falling in the finale to PacWest Tournament-bound Hawai‘i Hilo.

Behind a dominant pitching effort in Game 1 and a competitive showing throughout the day, the Sharks split the doubleheader with the Vulcans, who have already secured their place in the upcoming conference championships.

Senior Day Spark Fuels Game 1 Shutout

HPU set the tone early with a gritty 2-0 victory, leaning on timely execution and a complete-game shutout in the circle.

Pitcher Lily Pardini was in control from start to finish, allowing just three hits while navigating minimal traffic across seven scoreless innings.

The Sharks capitalized in the fifth inning, manufacturing both runs without the benefit of a hit—showcasing discipline and pressure offense with walks, stolen bases, and situational execution.

HPU drew nine walks in the game, consistently putting pressure on UH Hilo’s pitching staff and creating the breakthrough inning that ultimately held up as the difference.

It was a complete team effort—and a fitting start to a day honoring seniors Alexis Oshiro, Taimane Panganoran, and Maddy Gonzalez, whose presence helped set the tone for the program.

Vulcans Respond Late in Game 2

In the second game, UH Hilo’s offense came alive late, pulling away for an 11-5 win to secure the split.

The Sharks struck first again, plating two runs in the second inning and later battling back to tie the game 4-4 in the fourth behind clutch hits from Taryn Hirano and Alexis Oshiro. Hirano led the way offensively, going a perfect 4-for-4 with two RBIs, continuing her standout day at the plate.

However, the Vulcans’ depth ultimately showed. UH Hilo broke the game open with a four-run sixth inning and added three more in the seventh, capitalizing on key hits and defensive miscues to create separation.

Despite the final scoreline, HPU tallied 10 hits and remained competitive deep into the game, continuing a recent stretch of improved offensive production.

Growth, Belief, and a Foundation for the Future

Following the doubleheader, first-year head coach Alex Takemura emphasized the progress his team has made—particularly in recent weeks.

“It was a very competitive game… we came out and decided to play as hard as we possibly could,” Takemura said, noting the team’s ability to “put it all together” in stretches.

That progress has started to show in the results. After a challenging first half of the season that featured a long stretch of losses during a difficult road-heavy schedule, the Sharks have begun to turn a corner late in the year—stringing together more wins over the past few weeks than they did through much of the early portion of the season.

Takemura credited that shift to growing confidence and experience within a young roster.

“The belief in each other… the hard work they put in… the youth developing experience,” he said. “Things are starting to fall into place.”

The day also carried added meaning as Takemura honored his first senior class—players he described as the standard for the program moving forward.

“Great leadership, great attitudes… the hard work, the commitment, and the selflessness—they’re examples of the type of players we want,” he said.

He also highlighted Alexis Oshiro as a tone-setter within the group, calling her “the big sister in every way” and a model for future Sharks.

What’s Next

With the season winding down, HPU continues to show signs of growth under Takemura’s leadership. While UH Hilo prepares for the PacWest Championships (May 5–7), the two teams will first close out the regular season with a doubleheader in Hilo at Vulcan Softball Field.

For the Sharks, it’s another opportunity to measure their progress and build on the momentum they’ve found late in the year—while setting the tone for what’s ahead.

Takemura summed it up simply:

“Very humbling, very exciting… I had a blast. I can’t wait for next season.”

HONOLULU – Leave it to a sophomore to steal the day for the seniors.

Behind a monster showing from 3B Tyler Arnold at the plate, the Hawaii Pacific University baseball team slugged a 19-1 mercy-rule shortened victory over rival Chaminade (10-35, 8-31 PacWest) on Wednesday evening to help keep pace among the top four spots in the conference while sending 14 seniors off with a victory in their final game at Hans L’Orange Park in Waipahu.

Arnold went 3-for-4 at the plate with eight runs batted in on Wednesday night, crushing three home runs to extend his program record to 29 bombs in his two-year career with the Sharks.

“That’s about as good as we’ve swung it all year,” said head coach Dane Fujinaka after the win. “I’m really proud of them. It was a tough, long stretch for the last 13 days.”

The Sharks wrapped up a marathon of 12 games over 13 days, going 8-4 to maintain third place in the conference’s regular season standings entering the final week before the PacWest tournament. The top four teams in the standings qualify for the three-day conference championships in Santa Barbara from May 6-8.

Arnold played hero, but Hawaii Pacific (25-19, 23-15 PacWest) saw plenty of contributions up and down the lineup as 21 different players got action for Fujinaka’s Sharks in the final home contest of the season.

CF Noah Hata, the captain for the Sharks, turned in a huge day at the plate in his final showing at Hans as he went 2-for-3 with a triple, a pair of walks, three runs batted in, and four more runs scored.

The senior center fielder has enjoyed an incredible final campaign with HPU, setting new career highs in runs scored, runs batted in, home runs, free passes (BB and HBP), slugging percentage and on-base percentage while pacing for a new career-low in strikeouts. He is tied for the PacWest lead in total walks drawn with 36 on the year.

“He took a chance on us, took a chance on me and an unproven coaching staff,” Fujinaka said of his senior captain. “We knew when we were recruiting him, we were going to build around him and that he was the face of HPU. He goes about his business that right way, works super hard and is the ultimate teammate.”

Arnold and Hata got Hawaii Pacific off to a hot start as Hata singled with one out in the bottom of the first before Arnold demolished his first big fly of the day for a 2-0 lead before the first frame ended.

Chaminade got a run back in the top of the third as Trysten Mooney brought home Caleb Kim with an RBI single to left, chasing HPU opener LHP Garrett Sinfield after 2.2 innings of work.

Senior Jacob Vanek (W, 4-2) entered in relief, getting the final out of the third inning to preserve the lead. The right-hander spun 2.2 scoreless innings for the Sharks, walking two and striking out one while holding the Silverswords without a hit.

Hawaii Pacific added crooked numbers in back-to-back frames, blowing the game open with seven runs in the fourth and eight runs in the fifth to go up 17-2 over Chaminade and put the PacWest’s run-rule timer into effect.

Taydem Hashimoto plated two runs with an RBI single to center in the bottom of the fourth and Kan Taguchi followed it up with a run-scoring single up the middle to make it a 5-1 lead for the Sharks with only one out.

Hata brought home Hashimoto and Taguchi with an RBI triple before Arnold delivered déjà vu to the onlookers at Hans L’Orange with another monster two-run home run to cap off a seven-run inning for the Sharks, giving a 9-1 advantage to the hosts.

After Vanek spun a 1-2-3 top half of the fifth for HPU, the Sharks tacked on eight more runs with Owen Wessel, Ethan Murakoshi, Taguchi and Hata all picking up RBI before Tyler Arnold ordered up a grand salami to clear the bases loaded with HPU players and make it a 17-1 lead.

Jevon Raboy put a ribbon on the scoring for Senior Night, delivering an RBI single to center that brought Hata and senior Keanu Spenser around to score the 18th and 19th runs of the game for the Sharks.

Christian Garcia turned the ball over to Jett Ah Sam to close it out for Hawaii Pacific, seeing the senior right-hander allow a one-out single and nothing more as he wrapped up his lone frame of action with a strikeout to clinch the run-rule shortened 19-1 victory for the Sharks.

After the laugher of a win by HPU, it was time to celebrate the 14-player senior class for the Sharks. Outside of Hata, it’s a group that saw role changes running at them for the majority of their Hawaii Pacific tenures and tackled the challenges head-on.

“I think they’re just selfless,” Fujinaka said of his seniors. “All of them, from top to bottom, they’re just super selfless and I think that’s the reason why they’re still here and they’re finishing out with us. It’s because they share the same values, they all want to win and they’re all really, really good team guys.”

Hawaii Pacific will wrap up the regular season next weekend on the Big Island, traveling to take on the University of Hawai’i-Hilo for a four-game set at Francis Wong Stadium. The Sharks sit in third place in the PacWest standings with four games to play, looking to lock up one of the four spots in the conference tournament.

HONOLULU – Making friends in the front court.

The Hawaii Pacific University men’s basketball team went back to the Division I ranks to help replenish the roster on Thursday, picking up the commitment of 6-foot-10 forward Marino Dubravčić out of the transfer portal.

Dubravčić, 6-foot-10, spent last year at Northern Iowa but missed the entirety of the 2025-26 season with an injury. He began his college career at Baylor as a scholarship player in 2024-25, seeing limited action across 18 games before entering the transfer portal.

Before coming over to the United States, Dubravčić played in the FIBA U18 European Championship for Croatia and averaged 6.7 points, 3.9 rebounds and 0.7 blocks while helping his country win three of the seven games they played in.

Dubravčić is a high-energy player who displays his biggest impact when attacking the glass, moving without the ball as guards penetrate and when using his strong frame defensively. The Croatian sophomore has shown a comfort operating from each block and using both hands to finish around the basket, though he doesn’t create much for himself or others offensively.

He comes to the islands with two years of eligibility remaining and a massive opportunity to get onto the court. The 6-foot-10 forward provides a strong body down low, helping the Sharks mitigate the loss of multiple post players from last year’s NCAA Tournament rotation.

Hawaii Pacific has done well over the past few seasons when attacking the transfer portal, finding impact players from the Division I ranks that slip through the cracks while giving opportunities to players from other levels to show how much the talent line has been blurred between Division I, II and III along with junior college and NAIA programs.

Last season, the Sharks snatched guards Quentin Meza and Nemanja Sarenac from the Division I level and saw both players maintain key roles throughout an 18-win season. Meza became the latest transplant to earn All-PacWest honors in his first season with HPU, joining Joshua West, Diggy Winbush, Marquis Moore and Maj Dusanic as players to transfer to the islands after their college careers began and develop into all-conference players.

Dubravčić joins Evan Kilminster as the first players in Hawaii Pacific’s 2026 transfer class, providing a pair of sturdy building blocks to add to returners Avi Halpert, Nemanja Sarenac, Zane Gaul, Ike Sutton and Shawn Villanea.

HONOLULU – It’s a shark transplant!

The Hawaii Pacific University men’s basketball team secured its first addition of the 2026 transfer portal period, going cross country and getting a verbal pledge from University of South Carolina-Beaufort guard Evan Kilminster on Thursday.

Kilminster earned 2nd-team All-Peach Belt Conference last season with USCB after leading the Sand Sharks in scoring and assists, averaging 13.2 points and 4.1 assists across 29 starts. The 6-foot-3 guard drilled 56 3-pointers, shooting 40% from behind the arc while connecting on 83% of his free throws and helping USCB to a 19-10 overall record and 13-7 mark in the Peach Belt.

He scored 10 or more points in 20 of his 29 appearances, going off for a career-high 27 points along with eight rebounds and seven assists in a 114-112 loss to Fayetteville State on January 19.

The Newcastle, Australia product began his college career at the College of Charleston, spending three seasons with the Cougars before transferring to USC Beaufort. Kilminster redshirted during his true freshman season before appearing in 27 games across the 2023-24 and 2024-25 seasons for Charleston, scoring 28 points, grabbing 22 rebounds and handing out 20 assists while playing 171 total minutes as he dealt with a variety of injuries.

The Peach Belt produced one of the best teams in the country this past year in Division II national runner-up Lander, who went 30-6 overall and won both the regular season and conference tournament titles.

Kilminster put up 20 points in just 18 minutes in a 95-82 loss against Lander on February 16, draining 3-of-5 attempts from beyond the arc while going 5-for-5 at the charity stripe. It was one of the five times that Kilminster posted 20 or more points in his lone season with the Sand Sharks.

After making the NCAA Tournament for the third time in program history last year, Hawaii Pacific watched as more than 75% of the team’s scoring production either graduate or hit the portal.

Kilminster’s playmaking chops will help the Sharks as well after he handed out 118 helpers in 2025-26. Hawaii Pacific was led in assists by Quentin Meza, who dished out 97 assists for the Sharks before hitting the portal for his final season of eligibility.

HPU returns Shawn Villanea, Zane Gaul, Ike Sutton, Nemanja Sarenac and captain Avi Halpert to the roster next year. The Sharks have made the PacWest Tournament in two of the three seasons under head coach Jesse Nakanishi and continue to work to refresh the roster ahead of summer workouts.

WAIPAHU – Keehi boys keep building brick by brick.

Powered by true freshman LHP Nick Blakeney’s first career complete game, the Hawai’i Pacific University baseball team swept Monday’s doubleheader over cross island rival Chaminade with 6-2 and 15-3 victories in a pair of seven inning contests at Hans L’Orange Park in Waipahu.

LISTEN TO GAME 1 BROADCAST ON DEMAND

“I thought we executed the plan really well, both on the pitching side and on the offensive side,” said HPU head coach Dane Fujinaka after sweeping the twin bill. “Overall, those are the two cleanest games of baseball that we’ve played up to this point.”

Blakeney allowed just two runs (0 earned) in 7.0 innings of work, giving up two hits while walking one and striking out three Silverswords to pick up his first career college win for the Sharks.

The freshman southpaw got quick run support as HPU (17-15, 15-11 PacWest) plated three runs in the bottom of the second inning from an RBI single to left from SS Andrew Nykoluk and an RBI single to center by CF Noah Hata.

Blakeney returned the favor to his offense, sitting down the first 12 Chaminade batters that he faced. Senior DH Keanu Spencer added on an insurance run for the left-handed freshman starter in the bottom half of the fourth with a booming double off the wall that scored Tyler Arnold all the way from first base.

With a 4-0 lead in hand, Blakeney finally allowed one of the Silverswords to reach base as Cameron Breeze led off the top of the fifth with a single to right. The HPU starting pitcher quickly reverted back to form after losing his no-hit and perfect game bids, sitting down the next six batters in order to keep Chaminade scoreless.

After Nykoluk and LF Kan Taguchi led off the bottom half of the sixth inning with back-to-back singles, the Sharks tacked on two more runs to the lead to make it 6-0 heading into the top of the seventh after a pinch-hitting Blake Helsper and C Brock Wirthgen picked up an RBI walk and RBI sacrifice fly for HPU.

Blakeney returned in the seventh to close out the shortened game, running into a little trouble with a leadoff walk and passed ball putting a runner into scoring position before an error in right field allowed a pair of unearned runs to score. The freshman hurler settled despite giving up more action on the basepaths than he had all afternoon, getting the final two outs to push HPU over .500 overall for the first time since February 5.

Taguchi tallied a 3-for-4 day at the plate for the Sharks with three singles and a run scored from the leadoff spot. Nykoluk went 2-for-3 with a pair of runs scored and another run batted in from the nine-hole, giving HPU an extra leadoff batter at the bottom of the lineup.

3B Tyler Arnold added a perfect showing at the plate, going 2-for-2 with a pair of singles, two walks and a run scored while Hata collected a couple of runs batted in with his lone hit in three at-bats.

The story of the first game though was Blakeney, who started the season as a redshirt candidate according to Fujinaka. In need of extra arms and at risk of missing out on making the travel roster, Blakeney went to his head coach to try and get a chance on the mound to help the team back at the start of conference play.

First trying to get a chance at taking on teammates in live at-bats during practice, Blakeney badgered Fujinaka to put him on a practice schedule to compete against Sharks hitters. Once he got his opportunity, he didn’t waste it.

“We actually shut him down from pitching in the fall so he could focus on hitting,” Fujinaka revealed of his freshman two-way player from Liberty HS (NV). “He throws a live AB [in practice] … and like, dominant. Exactly what you saw today is what we saw in live ABs.”

After that, Fujinaka booked the freshman a flight and knew he could have another key arm ready to help the Sharks make a playoff push.

With a fresh bullpen for the second game, Fujinaka used six different pitchers to stymie the Chaminade offense while HPU plastered Swords RHP Brennen Panis (L, 1-4) for seven runs (7 ER) and chased the opposing starter after just two outs.

The Sharks added two more runs in the second and five more in the bottom half of the third inning, taking a commanding 12-run lead over the Silverswords after three frames. Both sides added one run each in the sixth inning but otherwise cruised to a calm result as HPU tattooed Chaminade, 15-3.

Ethan Murakoshi was the big hero in the second game for Hawaii Pacific, going a perfect 3-for-3 at the plate with two runs scored and four runs batted in. The sophomore 1B smacked his third home run of the season in the bottom half of the third inning with a two-run shot to score Ziah Chang.

Rylen Bayne (2-0) picked up the victory for HPU in the second game, going 2.0 innings while allowing two runs (2 ER) on two hits and two walks, striking out a pair of the 10 batters he faced before handing it over to the rest of the bullpen.

Winners of five of the last six, Hawaii Pacific will hit the road this weekend for a critical California road trip with four-game sets against Biola (April 11-13) and Vanguard (April 16-18) coming up.

The Sharks will also play a quick three-game series against defending PacWest champion Westmont at a neutral site to make up for the March 13-17 series that was postponed in the islands due to weather.

“I think we just continue to get better every week, which is what our plan was from day one,” Fujinaka said ahead of his team’s stretch of 11 road games in 12 days. “We want to play our best baseball in April, which it’s April and I’m glad we’re playing really good baseball right now. We’ve just got to continue to get better.”

WAIPAHU — Noah Meaux’s mother has never seen him pitch in a collegiate game heading into the week.

Against Fresno Pacific, she saw him make four pitching appearances in two days.

Meaux and the Hawai’i Pacific University baseball team are riding high after taking the series win over the Sunbirds with a pair of wins on Wednesday and a Game 4 victory to close out the series Thursday night at Hans L’Orange Park.

It was a much-needed series victory for the Sharks, who are fighting for their postseason lives as they improved to 13-11 in PacWest conference play.

“It definitely meant a lot,” Meaux said. “My mother has never seen me pitch in a collegiate game so that was awesome. As far as four appearances in two days — I’d blow my whole arm out. I’d do anything for my guys at the end of the day.”

Wednesday’s games saw HPU clutch up in a 13-9 win and a 3-2 victory with Meaux recorded saves in both games.

Thursday had potential to end really badly for the Sharks however.

In Game 3 of the series, HPU took a pair of one-run leads after the sixth and seventh inning before giving up two in the top of the eighth and six more in the top of the ninth in a 15-8 loss.

The drought continued to start Game 4 with Fresno Pacific scoring in the first three innings to take a 6-0 lead.

But the Sharks battled back and capitalized on the Sunbirds’ miscues and free passes as the home team tied the game in the bottom of the fourth, scoring six runs on just two hits.

HPU scored the go-ahead run on a one-out groundout in the fifth before plating three more runs to take a 10-6 lead heading into the sixth. Meaux came in to pick up the final six outs as the Sharks went on to win the series, 12-7.

“It was just phenomenal,” Meaux said of how Thursday’s games ended. “We didn’t start off too hot, we could have pressed and we really could have gave up in the beginning, but our guys started to piece it together. We put up a whole bunch of runs, started a rally and gave us a chance to win.”

The left-handed Meaux entered Game 4 with a four-run lead — just one run over the save conditions — but in the team’s eyes, he recorded three saves in the series.

“This is the best closer not just in Division II, not in the PacWest, in all of college baseball and he showed it this weekend why he’s that guy,” said HPU pitching coach Zachary Swanson.

Meaux pitched 6 and 1/3 innings across four pitching appearances in two days against the Sunbirds, allowing just two earned runs while striking out six, including the final three outs of the series.

His shortest stint was Game 3 when he picked up the final two outs of the top of the eighth inning after Fresno Pacific tied the game. Meaux made sure the coaching staff knew to leave him on the mound the next time.

“Noah Meaux is unbelievable,” said HPU head coach Dane Fujinaka.

“My only regret is not leaving him out there in Game 3. He made four appearances, pitching every game. If I leave him in there, we win Game 3 too so that’s kind of on me. He came up to me after Game 3 and said ‘I better be in Game 4 at some point with the lead.’ I’m speechless. I’ve never seen anything like it. He’s the toughest pitcher I’ve ever coached in my career.”
