Cárdaba claimed her first NEC Player of the Week award and her second NEC Rookie of the Week honors this season after a world class performance in a 2-0 week for FDU. The freshman midfielder scored both Knights’ goals in a 2-1 win at Wagner on Thursday. FDU faced an early 1-0 deficit after the Seahawks scored in the 14th minute until Cárdaba made an equalizer in the 32nd minute to tie it up going into halftime. In the 66th minute, the Spanish midfielder won possession in Wagner’s final third to position herself to score the game winner and her second unassisted goal of the match. On the road against Le Moyne on Sunday, Cárdaba broke a 0-0 stalemate off a header from a corner kick in the 56th minute to help FDU secure a 2-1 win. Cárdaba is second among all first-year players in the NEC for goals with five and is tied for ninth among all NEC athletes.
