NEW ROCHELLE, NY — If last week was any indication, whenever New Rochelle scores a goal this season, you can bank on Ruby Hastie having a hand (or rather, a foot) in it.
The senior center midfielder did it all for the Huguenots, registering five goals and four assists in three shutout wins. Hastie manufactured all nine of New Rochelle’s goals for the week.
Hastie is the first lohud girls soccer player of the week this year, and is being recognized for her accomplishments on the field from Sept. 4-10.
Honor Roll
– Fiona Cummings, Clarkstown South: The senior netted not one, but two overtime game-winners this week against North Rockland and Horace Greeley. Cummings had the lone goal against the Red Raiders and finished with two goals in the 3-2 win against the Quakers.
– Morgan Kirby, Mahopac: The senior was no stranger to the back of the net last week, pouring in five goals in a 9-1 rout of Ossining in the Indians’ only game of the week.
– Dani LaRochelle, Albertus Magnus: The senior forward had five goals and two assists in the Lady Falcons’ three games this week. LaRochelle highlighted her week with a hat trick and an assist against Yonkers.
