University of Albany's Daphne Voormolen Named America East Conference Field Hockey Rookie of the Week - UAlbany Sports

Cambridge, Mass. - University at Albany's Daphne Voormolen was named the America East Conference Field Hockey Rookie of the Week, as announced by the league office on Tuesday afternoon. Voormolen scored all three goals for the Great Danes in their 3-2 victory over Bucknell on Saturday.

Voormolen scored her first collegiate goal just four minutes into the game, tapping a shot into the goal after a scramble in front of the net. She then gave UAlbany a 2-0 advantage in the 14th minute, taking an assist from Corinne McConville on a penalty corner, knocking the ball out of the air and into the back of the cage. Voormolen added the final score for the Great Danes in the 44th minute. Teammate Alysia Hough made a long run down the field and shot the ball across the circle, where it bounced off the post and onto the stick of Voormolen, who shot the ball past Bucknell goalkeeper Sarah Zargarpour.
