OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Patrick Short, Drexel
Graduate Student | Midfielder | Georgetown, Del. / Sussex Tech
Short picks up his first CAA Offensive Player of the Week this season following a five-point performance in the regular season finale against Charleston. Eight minutes into the contest, the graduate student midfielder fired one home to give the Dragons the lead. Short recorded his second six minutes later in the eventual game-winner, before tacking on an assist with Drexel’s third. The Delaware native’s five-point performance set his season high.
DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Pierce Infuso, Hofstra
Graduate Student
| Defender | Merrick, N.Y. / Bellmore JFK
A two-point shutout performance earns Infuso his first CAA Defensive Player of the Week award. The New York native has been a stalwart on defense all season for Hofstra and this week was no less. With a playoff spot on the line, Infuso led from the back holding Delaware to five shots on target in a clean sheet. The graduate student defender also tallied two assists in the victory for the Pride’s first and second goals. Infuso has been on a hot streak, recording four of his five points this season in the last three games.
ROOKIE OF THE WEEK
Thengill Orrason, Hofstra
Freshman | Defender | Reykjavik, Iceland / Commercial College of Iceland
Orrason was quite the goal threat against Delaware, earning his first CAA weekly award recognition. The defender netted his first career goal in the final regular season game, after scoring Hofstra’s second goal twenty minutes into the contest. Orrason also had his hand in the Pride’s first of the game, tallying an assist. Three points marked a career-high for the Icelandic freshman, putting a tally in the points column once before on Sept. 17 against UNH.
