Hoxie Garners National, Conference Honors for a Second Time

Williamsburg - Sophomore forward Andrew Hoxie received a well deserved, belated birthday present. After leading the Tribe to a 2-1 overtime victory over VCU on Oct. 8, his birthday, the Newport News, Va., native garnered Brine CAA co-Player of the Week honors for the second time this season on Oct. 9. The awards did not stop there as Hoxie was named to the Top Drawer Soccer National Team of the Week. Hoxie scored both Tribe goals, including his CAA-leading fourth game-winner of the season in overtime.

“Andrew is having a great year for us,” head coach Chris Norris said. “He has really matured as a player. After last sea-son, we talked to him a lot about maintaining his focus for 90 minutes, and from an attacking standpoint, to look for and get his shot off more. He has been fantastic in both regards this season.”

Coupled with taking home the top conference honor on Sept. 18 after leading the Tribe to the ODU Stihl Soccer Classic crown, Hoxie became the first W&M player in the program’s 22-year history with the CAA to earn two conference player of the week honors in a season. Hoxie shared the most recent honor with George Mason goalkeeper Sean Kelley, who also took home the league Rookie of the Week honor after shutting out Delaware and Drexel.

Hoxie was one of five forwards named to Top Drawer Soccer’s National Team of the Week. He also received the acco-lade after earning MVP honors at the ODU Classic. For the season, Hoxie leads the Tribe with 19 points and eight goals to go along with three assists. Both his point and goal totals rank third in the CAA.

Against VCU, Hoxie calming stepped to the penalty spot and hammered home the equalizer with 1:55 left in regular after junior midfielder Doug Ernst was taken down in the penalty area. He then notched the game-winner in the 97th minute of play, pressuring the VCU defense, before sent a shot into the net from 15 yards out. It marked the third time this season that Hoxie has registered two goals in a game, a feat that had not been accomplished in five years. Carlos Garcia (4) and Phil Hucles (3) were the last Tribe players to notched three games with two goals during the 2001 sea-son.

Hoxie and the Tribe will return to action on Tuesday, Oct. 10, at James Madison. The match, slated for a 7 p.m. kick-off, was originally scheduled for Friday, Oct. 8, but was postponed due to inclement weather.
