Rookie
of the Week
Jessica
Hamby, Marist
Fr.,
2mO, 5-9, Sacramento, Calif./Granite Bay
Hamby was the Red Foxes' greatest offensive threat this past
week in the opening week of MAAC games scoring an astounding 12 goals in three
games. She scored three goals against Wagner, her lowest scoring game of the
weekend, as Marist's comeback came up just short. She also made two steals on
defense and drew an ejection. She then found the back of the net four times
against the defending conference champion and preseason favorite Iona as the
Red Foxes made an amazing comeback, winning 13-12 in overtime. She had two
goals in a four-goal fourth quarter for Marist that saw them erase what was
once a five-goal deficit. Then, with the score tied at 12 in the final overtime
session, she scored the game-winner with less than 90 seconds left to play. She
also drew five ejections versus the Gaels. On Sunday, Hamby capped her weekend,
scoring five times against VMI while adding a steal and drawing two ejections.
