Allocca Named GoHofstra Student-Athlete Of The Week

Hempstead, N.Y. – After an incredible week at the plate helping lift the Hofstra Softball team to the Colonial Athletic Association title, senior Brittany Allocca has been named the GoHofstra Student-Athlete of the Week.

Allocca, who began the week by earning CAA All-Second Team honors, continued her record-setting season by going 6-for-10 with six RBIs in the CAA Championship. Three of her hits came as home runs, including a pair in the Pride's 7-4 upset of James Madison in the title game. Allocca, who has already set the program's single-season and career walk records this year, now has 15 home runs this season and 38 in her career, both of which rank third on the program charts and are three away from setting the new record. The Stormville, New York, native was named to the CAA All-Tournament Team for her impressive performance last week.
