The UH-Hilo senior right-hander is hoping to begin a new week and build off a four-game stint in which she was nearly flawless.

Mejia went 4-0 and allowed only one run and seven hits with 21 strikeouts in 25 innings to earn PacWest pitcher of the week.

She threw a no-hitter to boot and turned 22 on Tuesday.
