The offense was rolling for Harkins on Saturday for LIU, which cruised to a 19-9 win at Mercyhurst on Saturday behind the strength of the junior midfielder’s career day. Finding the back of the net a personal-best four times, including twice in the first half to help the Sharks jump out to a 13-3 lead, the Floral Park, NY native dished out three assists to rack up a career-high seven points. In addition, Harkins added four draw controls. With the win, the Sharks, who have won two-in-a-row and four of their past five, are tied for second in the league standings with a 4-1 record. Netting hat tricks in three outings this season, Harkins ranks second on the team in points (27) and goals (19), while her eight assists are good for third among fellow Sharks. This is Harkins’ first weekly award this season, and the third time an LIU player has been pegged the NEC Player of the Week, as classmate Julia Trainor is a two-time honoree.
