Newport News, Va. - Fordham University freshman forward Kristina Maksuti (Delmar, N.Y./Bethlehem Central) was named Atlantic 10 Women's Soccer Co-Rookie of the Week, it was announced today by the conference. This is Maksuti's first career Atlantic 10 weekly honor.

In two games, Maksuti tallied five points last week, netting a pair of game-winning goals. She scored the game-winner in a 4-3 overtime comeback victory over Cornell on Friday, and then tallied the eventual game winner and an assist in a 3-1 win at Delaware State on Sunday.

Overall, Maksuti leads the team in scoring with four goals and two assists for 10 points in five games.

Maksuti and the rest of the Rams (2-2-1) will next be in action locally this coming weekend with a road contest at Manhattan on Friday, September 9th at 7:00 PM, while hosting Stony Brook at home on Sunday, September 11th at 1:00 PM.
