HILLSBORO, Ore.—For the third time in her collegiate career and first time this season, Lewis & College sophomore women's golfer Ahika Jani earned Northwest Conference Student-Athlete of the Week honors, the league office announced on Monday afternoon. 
 
Jani earned the award after winning her second collegiate tournament over the weekend. The sophomore finished first out of 50 golfers at the Pacific Invitational over the weekend. It was her first career 36-hole tournament win, after winning the rain-shortened Langdon Tri-Meet (18 holes) last Spring. 
 
Jani won the Pacific Invitational by three strokes over George Fox University's Ashlyn Johnson. The Pioneers sophomore was the lone player in the field to post a round under-par. She shot a career-best 70 (-1) on Saturday to hold a two-stroke lead. She carded a 78 (+7) on Sunday to finish the two-day tournament with a 148 (+6).
 
Jani's round of 70 (-1) was her first collegiate round under-par. Her previous best score was a 74 (+2) at last year's NWC Championship. Her two-day score of +6, was one stroke better than her tournament scores (+7) at the 2025 NWC Championship and the CA State Intercollegiate Tournament earlier this Fall. 
 
The Pioneers will return to action on Sunday and Monday for the 2025 Northwest Conference Fall Classic. Lewis & Clark will host the two-day tournament at the Oswego Lake Country Club.
