Aholelei, a first team All-American, led NJCAA DI with 28 victories (28-3) and 344 strikeouts, while posting the country’s fifth-lowest ERA at 1.14. 

Her 12.61 strikeouts per seven innings ranked second and her nine shutouts ranked third. Aholelei recorded 14 double-digit strikeout games, including a season-best 17 twice in wins over Northeast Texas and Trinity Valley.

She allowed only 98 hits and 46 walks, while holding the opposition to a .146 batting average, which was fourth-lowest amongst NJCAA DI pitchers.

The Cavaliers finished the season with a 42-12 overall record and were first in Region XIV with a 22-2 mark.
