BUIES CREEK, N.C. – Freshman midfielder Abby Connolly was selected as a CAA Co-Rookie of the Week, the conference announced Monday afternoon.
The Thomasville, N.C. native added a goal and an assist this week to her season total, helping the Camels to a 2-0 record to begin the CAA conference slate.
Her 64th minute goal from outside the box against UNCW on Thursday provided insurance in the 2-0 win over the Seahawks.
On Sunday, Connolly won possession in the attacking third against Hampton in the 52nd minute, setting up Alyssa Tucker's second goal of the day.
