Sachem Alum Yovino Earns CAA Player of the Week Honors Again

Tiffany Yovino has become one of the best college soccer players in the country this season. This week she earned her second Colonial Athletic Association and Big Apple Soccer Player of the Week honors.

In a 2-1 win over Northeastern Saturday, she scored the game-tying and winning goals. No.  21 Hofstra completed an 11-0 conference run and has won a school-record 17 games. The Pride are 17-1 this season entering the conference tournament.

In addition to Hofstra's winning streak, Yovino has also had an impressive streak of her own as she has now scored in eight straight games, with 10 total goals in that span, according to the University.

She started the streak with a goal in a 2-0 win over Delaware on Oct. 3 and scored in every single one of the Pride's games during October (all in conference play). She now leads the CAA with 11 goals on the year, 10 of which have been in conference.

Yovino has also now been a part of more wins than any player in school history (along with fellow senior Kayla Pifer), as this year's senior class has won 56 games in the last four years.

As freshmen, Yovino and Pifer helped Hofstra to the single-season win record with 18, and it has now tallied the second-highest win total as seniors with 17.

The Pride has also earned the first national ranking in school history (currently No. 21, with a new poll due to be released tomorrow), and is ranked 15th in the latest ratings percentage index (RPI) from the NCAA.
