Hartford's Meagan Riemer (Ellington, Conn./Ellington/Sacred Heart) earns America East Player of the Week honors in women's soccer, while Maine's Cristina Di Ielsi (Laval, Quebec/Vincent Saint Sacrement) has garnered America East Rookie of the Week accolades for the second time this season. The awards were announced on Monday (October 9).
Riemer led the Hawks to a 2-0 week with conference victories over UMBC and Maine. The junior forward scored the game-winning goal in overtime at Maine as Hartford remained unbeaten in America East play. She also had two goals and two assists in a 5-0 win over UMBC earlier in the week. She leads America East in scoring with six goals and four assists for 16 points.
Di Ielsi scored the game-winning goal with one second remaining in double overtime against Stony Brook on Thursday afternoon. It was her first career game-winning goal.
