Women's Soccer (3-1) | Skyline Report

Farmingdale State ran its winning streak to three straight games by sweeping its pair of matches in Salem, Va., at the Hyatt Place Showcase. Off to their best start since the 2019 Rams won four consecutive matches to open the campaign, FSC defeated Gettysburg College in the closing minutes Saturday, before turning around 24 hours later to score a 3-0 decision over Greensboro College.

Senior fullback Maiya Christmas (Grand Rapids, Mich.) and keeper Charlotte Hoina (Holbrook, N.Y.) were named the Skyline's Defensive Player and Rookie of the Week, respectively, after both played instrumental roles in Farmingdale State posting consecutive shutouts. Hoina made eight saves across her first two collegiate starts, including seven in Saturday's win against the Bullets. 

Senior forward Kayla Mendez (Staten Island, N.Y.) was named to the conference's honorable mention listing after scoring both game-winning goals. She provided the only goal of the match on Saturday versus the Bullets with just over three minutes to play, before opening the scoring 17 minutes in against Greensboro.

FSC has a three-match week on the docket, beginning with Wednesday's 7 p.m. home kickoff versus Western Connecticut. The Rams will then open Skyline Conference play Saturday at Manhattanville in a 3 p.m. start, before playing host to the University of Scranton in a noontime matinee Sunday.

The defending Skyline Conference champions opened their season Saturday at Eisenhower Park's Red Course, as Farmingdale State placed second in the Fifth Annual George Cangero Invitational, named in honor of the late Rams coach. FSC carded a team score of 300, just one stroke behind victorious North Carolina Wesleyan.

Freshman Jacob Andersen (Medford, N.Y.) was selected as the Skyline's Player and Rookie of the Week, after earning medalist honors in his collegiate debut by tying for first place with a score of 71 (-1). He is just the third Farmingdale State player to win his first career collegiate tournament (Adam Larkin, 2010 Skidmore Fall Invitational; Ryan Reed, 2015 FSC Skyline Invitational).

The Rams will compete this weekend in Williamstown, Mass., when they compete Saturday and Sunday in the 54-hole Williams Fall Invitational at Taconic Golf Club. The competition will feature two rounds of play on Saturday, before an 18-hole finale to close out the competition.
