COLONIA, N.J. – On Monday, the East Coast Conference announced its eighth Women's Soccer Weekly Report of the 2026 season, naming Queens College senior goalkeeper Samantha Hines-Hirsch Goalkeeper of the Week for her performance during the week of Oct. 12–18.
 
Hines-Hirsch earns her third Goalkeeper of the Week honor and seventh overall weekly accolade of the season.
 
Last week, Hines-Hirsch recorded two shutouts during an unbeaten week for the Knights, moving into second place on the program's single-season shutout list. On Wednesday against American International College (AIC), Hines-Hirsch made four saves to record her seventh shutout of the season, including two crucial stops in the final 15 minutes of the contest. In Saturday's scoreless draw against the College of Staten Island, she recorded her ECC-leading eighth shutout of the season, making three saves, including a key stop in the final four minutes.
