She scored two goals in the win and finished the weekend with a total of six points (three goals). Through eight games overall, Pennisi ranks second on the team in scoring with nine points on four goals and one assist. Her four goals is tied for the team lead.
Martina is a two-time BIG EAST Weekly Honor Roll selection, having also be recognized on Sept. 17. In two victories last week, Martina totaled five points on one goal and three assists. She scored what proved to be the game-winning goal in the Friars' 2-0 victory over Quinnipiac and also added one assist. She closed the weekend with her first career multi-assist game against Holy Cross. Through eight games this season, Martina leads Providence in scoring with 11 points (3g/5a).
Providence College (5-3, 1-0 BIG EAST) returns to action on Friday, Sept. 27 against No. 14 Liberty in a BIG EAST Conference match-up. The game will be played at Lennon Family Field in Providence, R.I. and is slated to begin at 3:00 p.m.
