HVWAC Rookie of the Week -Mid -Fr Jackson Heights, NY

Phu was selected to as the HVWAC Rookie of the Week for the week of September 10.  Starting the season with a new coach at the helm is a challenge in itself, but  doing so against one of the most powerful teams in the region is a level of adversity that can dampen the spirits of many athletes, but not CCNY freshman  midfielder Kristina Phu. Despite a 9-0 defeat at the hands of the Scarlet Raiders,  Phu performed tremendously, and was a key cog for the CCNY defense that  improved remarkably as the game went along.
