Mia Baldinger, New Paltz, Offensive

Mia Baldinger was instrumental in the Hawks' two wins on the week against two good regional opponents. She controlled the midfield and helped build up play in both victories, clocking in a full 90 minutes in both contests. Against Farmingdale, she assisted on the game-winning goal, taking her defender on, one-on-one, getting endline and sending a dime of a cross to teammate Brooke Kelleher for the goal. Against RPI she scored the go-ahead goal to start the second half. Off a throw, Baldinger received the ball, turned and was given space, making the Engineers pay, she ripped a banger from 35-yards out over the goalies head top corner for the highlight goal, igniting what was the 2-1 win. She led the team in shots against RPI as well, totaling four, two on goal, while tallying three shots against the Rams Wednesday.
