Julianna Tornetta Honored as Ivy League Rookie of the Week

October 23, 2017 | Field Hockey

PRINCETON, N.J. – Julianna Tornetta was selected as the Ivy League Rookie of the Week for the second time this season, the conference announced today.

No. 14 Princeton dropped No. 15 Harvard in Cambridge, 3-0, on Saturday. The Crimson came into the game first in the Ivy in goals per game (4.08) and fifth in the country. The Tigers shut them out for the first time all season and held them to just four shots on goal.

Tornetta generated a lot of attack opportunities for Princeton in the midfield during the game and finished with the Tigers' third goal. The freshman leads the squad with 10 assists and is second on the Tigers with 20 points. She was honored as the Ivy League Rookie of the Week in September.

Head coach Carla Tagliente's team wraps up the home portion of its schedule next Saturday (12 p.m.) against Cornell. It will be Senior Day as the Tigers will honor its fifth seniors, Danielle Duseau, Rachel Park, Lexi Quirk, Sarah Brennan and Ryan McCarthy.
