Lima became the first Howard player this season to earn a weekly award from the NEC with her naming as the Rookie of the Week. The Altadena, CA native had a stellar outing in the Bison’s midfield against undefeated Le Moyne on Saturday after she racked up career-best numbers in goals (3), points (4) and ground balls (3). With the Bison trailing by a 13-4 count midway through the third quarter, Lima, who found the back of the net twice in the first half, contributed another goal and an assist to a late flurry of goals that saw Howard pull within two with 2:04 remaining thanks to a commanding, game-ending 8-1 run. Lima enters the week with seven goals, three assists and six ground balls on the season.
