NEW YORK, NY - Maayan Elyashiv (Brooklyn, NY/YUHS) and Jenny Deluty (W. Hempstead, NY/SKA) were named to the Hudson Valley Women’s Athletic Conference Honor Roll in women’s soccer and women’s volleyball, respectively. The two athletes had excellent performances in the first week of competition in 2009.
Maayan Elyashiv scored the team’s first goal of the season in a 3-1 loss to HVWAC opponent Medgar Evers. After a rebound off the goalkeepers hands from a previous shot, Elyashiv lifted the ball over defenders and into the back of the net in the 78th minute of play.
Jenny Deluty played hard over the opening three matches of the season, and recorded 14 digs, 9 service aces, and 5 kills against Mount Saint Vincent, John Jay, and Medgar Evers. Despite exceptional play, the team was 0-3 during the stretch, and will look for their first win tonight (Wednesday) when they host the College of Staten Island.
The women’s soccer team will be on the field again at Farmingdale State on Thursday at 5:00PM.
