Hempstead, NY – After going 1-1 in her first week of collegiate field hockey action, Luci Hollister has been named the Rookie of the Week by the Coastal Athletic Association, the conference announced Monday afternoon.
 
A first-year goalkeeper from Auckland, New Zealand, Hollister started both of Hofstra's season-opening contests against #18 UAlbany and Sacred Heart.

In total, Hollister made seven saves in two games with a .700 save percentage and a goals-against average of 1.50 in two games.
