Monmouth's Deusch, Laszlo & Rider's Flemming Earn Weekly Field Hockey Awards
Offensive Player of the Week
Annie Deusch, Monmouth
So., D, Oceanport, NJ/Shore Regional
Annie Deusch's first career goal proved to be the game-winner as the Hawks topped former league member Quinnipiac 3-2 on Sunday. The sophomore, who registered her first career point with an assist last weekend, had the ball carom to her along the left side 10 minutes into the second half. The local product carried the ball into the circle, split two defenders and unloaded a big shot that beat the QU goalkeeper inside the right post to put MU ahead for good.
Defensive Player of the Week
Julie Laszlo, Monmouth
Sr., D, Rotterdam, Netherlands/ Rotterdams Montessori Lyceum
Julie Laszlo continued her stellar play on both sides of the field for the Hawks. The senior defender was part of a defensive corner unit that kept the Bobcats off the board late in regulation to seal the road victory. Laszlo also assisted on Kelly Hanna's goal to tie the game before the halftime break, increasing her point streak to four straight games.
Rookie of the Week
Kaitlyn Flemming, Rider
Fr., M/F, Bellmawr, NJ/ Triton Regional High School
In her first collegiate home game, Rider freshman Kaitlyn Flemming scored two goals to lead the Broncs past visiting Towson, 2-0, last week. The two tallies were the first of Flemming's young career. Her first strike of the day came late in the first half off a penalty corner. Flemming would cap the scoring in the contest with an insurance goal in the second half.
