Kean University freshman Krista LaMaina earned New Jersey Athletic Conference Rookie of the Week honors this week.
The former Collingswood High School standout helped lead Kean to a 3-1 victory over Keystone College on Sept. 16, assisting on a key second-half goal.
LaMaina's contribution came early in the second half of the game. She and fellow Cougar Bridgette Bottinelli were on an odd-man rush with a 1-0 lead. LaMaina was on the right side of the field and passed to Bottinelli for the score.
LaMaina has four assists and four goals for Kean (6-3). Her twin and Kean teammate Shauna has two assists and a goal.
