Hawaii’s Amber Gilbert named to Big West soccer 1st team; 3 others honored
Hawaii forward Amber Gilbert was named to the All-Big West Conference first team on Saturday after putting in a team-best seven goals in the 2023 season.
Three other Rainbow Wahine – midfielder Eliza Ammendolia, midfielder Izzy Ayala and defender Jacey Jicha – received Big West honors.
Gilbert is a redshirt sophomore out of Mililani High and built on her BWC All-Freshman season in 2022.
With a relentless motor and an uncommon ability to speed past defenders, she was a constant threat on counterattacks, highlighted by her brace against UC San Diego on Sept. 28. Gilbert’s haul of goals was third-best in the conference to get her to 11 career scores.
