BETHLEHEM, Pa.- Coming off a 2-0 week with dominant victories over Delaware State on Tuesday and Holy Cross on Friday,
Chiara Cosenza of the Navy Women's Soccer team was recognized on Monday as the Patriot League Rookie of the Week.
The freshman forward from Westfield, N.J. helped the Mids win both of their games this week with three total points. In Navy's 5-0 victory over Delaware State, Cosenza netted a goal and assisted on another score before playing 25 minutes as part of the Mids' 3-0 win on the road at Holy Cross. Over 102 combined minutes of action for the week, Cosenza combined for three shots.
This is the fourth Patriot League award for the Navy women's soccer team this season as
