Tortora exploded for nine points last week to help lead Le Moyne to a split record that included a league-opening win over Stonehill, last year’s NEC Tournament runner-up. Getting her week going with a three-point outing against Canisius on Wednesday after she found the back of the net twice and tacked on an assist, Tortora went off for a season-best six points to steer the Dolphins to a come-from-behind victory against the Skyhawks. Scoring three times for her third hat trick of the year, Tortora, who got the Dolphins on the scoreboard with 68 seconds left in the first quarter, broke a 9-9 draw and sealed the 11-9 comeback win by delivering the game-winning goal with 2:02 left in the fourth. The local product from Syracuse leads the Dolphins with nine assists while her 24 goals and 15 points are good for second and third on the team, respectively. With Tortora’s NEC Player of the Week award, Le Moyne has claimed the honor in four of five weeks this season.
