Elika Unti

Elika Unti is our Athlete of the Week. This senior out of Pacific University was critical in the women’s volleyball team’s win over Whitman College 3-1, in their first match of Northwest Conference play. Unti chipped in 12 kills while hitting .455 on the evening. In a devastating loss to Spokane 2-3, last week, Unti led the Pacific University “Boxers” in kills, aces, and blocks. Unti posted a match-high 23 kills with a .367 hitting percentage. She contributed six blocks and three aces on the outing. Unit is originally from Castro Valley High School where she was hitting .453 percent as a senior and was awarded WACC 1st Team All-League, Player of the Year that same year. She is expected to graduate from Pacific University with a degree in International Studies. She says she choose Pacific because she, “felt at home here and was able to get that community feel around campus. It also gave me an opportunity to pursue my academic goals as well as play a sport I love.”
