PITTSBURGH - Freshman forward Maxi Hopfer (Styria, Austria) has been named Atlantic 10 Rookie of the Week for his performance in DU's two matches last week.

Hopfer, the first Duquesne men's soccer player to be recognized by the conference this season, received a pass from Nate Dragisich just across midfield, sidestepped a defender, and drilled a shot to the left side of the net in the 107th minute to give Duquesne a 1-0 win over St. Louis. The victory was DU's first over the Billikens in the 13-game series.

The Sytria, Austria native finished the week with 11 shots, including five on goal in DU's matches with Dayton and SLU. He logged 195 minutes in the two games.

Duquesne (2-2-0, 2-1-0) returns to action when it faces St. Bonaventure in the final regular season home match of the abbreviated spring campaign on Saturday at 4:00 p.m. on Rooney Field.
