COLONIA, NJ – Seniors Rebecca Hoffman and Jenna Northup along with junior Sam Cipolla helped the Roberts Wesleyan University Women's Soccer team to a win and a tie to start the season last week and have been honored by the East Coast Conference (ECC) with selection to the ECC Weekly Honor Roll.
Hoffman earned the start in game two of the season and turned away three shots to record her first career shutout as Roberts downed Malone University 2-0.
Northup started the season the same way she ended the championship year of 2025 as she played a key role in the offensive effort for Roberts with a goal and an assist in the first week of the season. She assisted on the go-ahead goal in the opener with a great deflection of the clearing attempt and then scored the second goal in a 2-0 win for the Redhawks to cap the unbeaten 1-0-1 week.
Cipolla, who transferred to Roberts from Monroe Community College, made her debut as a Redhawks memorable as she scored twice and added an assist in the first two games of the season with a Roberts Win and Tie in the first week of the season. She scored the first goal of the season on a penalty kick and added the go-ahead goal with less than 10 minutes to play. The junior added an assist in the 2-0 win over the weekend to finish with a 2-1 week for the speedy forward.
The Redhawks have a trio of games this week playing at Felician University Wednesday before returning home for games against Tiffin University Friday and Lake Erie College Sunday.
