OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Kesia Richardson, Hofstra
Junior | Defender | Marlow. England / Great Marlow School
Richardson was instrumental in Hofstra’s 2-1 win over UC Davis, netting two goals for the Pride. Late in the first quarter, the English defender received the ball off the penalty corner and saw her shot deflected in to open the scoring in the contest. Richardson rifled in the eventual game-winner midway through the second corner, pouncing on a loose ball.
DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Charlie Bowman, Monmouth
Sophomore | Goalie | Hillsborough, Northern Ireland / Wallace
Bowman stood on her head in goal for Monmouth, helping the No. 18 Hawks earn a 4-2 win over No. 17 Rutgers. With three saves in the contest, the junior shot stopper helped Monmouth win its third-ever game against a Big Ten program, and first against the Scarlet Knights since 2014.
ROOKIE OF THE WEEK
Florence Van Doorn, Monmouth
Freshman | Defender | Zoetermeer, Netherlands / Erasmus College Zoetermeer
Van Doorn helped anchor a backline that earned Monmouth its first ranked victory of the season. In the 4-2 result against No. 17 Rutgers, the freshman defender helped Monmouth stretch out to an early 2-0 lead in the first half by limiting the Scarlet Knights to three first-half shots. Van Doorn and the Hawks’ backline limited Rutgers to just five shots on target by the end of the game.
