She began her collegiate career at Nevada in 2024 but an injury suffered early in her true freshman year held her out of commission through 2025. Her opening start for Uh against Seattle U was her first time in the circle since 2023.
• Junior Milan Ah Yat started all five games at shortstop and led UH on offense with a .385 batting average..She also led the 'Bows with five hits and was one of three Rainbow Wahine to score three runs, and one of seven UH players to drive in two runs. In the first inning of the season opener vs. SeattleU, Ah Yat drove in two runs in the first and that was all Irimata needed as the 'Bows held off the Red Hawks, 2-1.
