Earning back-to-back NEC Rookie of the Week accolades, Crosby continued the impressive start to her freshman season. The 6-0 forward averaged 8.5 points, 7.0 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game in a pair of wins for the Knights last week. In Tuesday night’s win over NJIT, Crosby nearly notched her second double-double of the season after registering six points and nine rebounds in the 28-point road win. The Plainfield, NJ native added 11 more points in FDU’s 63-50 triumph over Monmouth on Saturday. Up two at the half, Crosby kickstarted the Knights’ strong third quarter with a pair of three-pointers and scored eight points in the frame as FDU would go on to outscore the Hawks, 25-6. This is the second straight season that a Knight has won multiple NEC Rookie of the Week honors after Renninger claimed the award eight times in 2024-25.
