Hawaii Pacific University Athletics

Mikaela Thibodeaux joins the Sharks after competing at Saddleback College. The 5-foot-5 forward from Fullerton, California is pursuing a degree in Business Administration at Hawai?i Pacific.

Thibodeaux was a two-sport standout throughout her athletic career. At Saddleback College, she competed in both soccer and flag football, helping the soccer team capture an Orange Coast Conference Championship while earning Player of the MiraCosta Tournament honors in flag football. Prior to college, she attended Troy High School, where she competed in soccer and flag football under coaches Ben Rogers and David Shirota. She earned Second Team All-League honors in soccer, Offensive MVP in flag football, Scholar-Athlete recognition, and helped lead her teams to a CIF soccer finals appearance and a CIF flag football championship.

Thibodeaux chose HPU for the opportunity to continue her soccer career while attending a smaller university. Away from the field, she enjoys arts and crafts, playing sports, and spending time with family and friends. Looking ahead, she hopes to own and operate her own business.
