For the second straight week, Demi-Jean Martorano scored Player of the Week honors by virtue of her five-goal week.  No one in the conference has had the start that Martorano has had, as the New Dorp High School has now tossed in eight goals and an assist over the first three games of the season. After scoring a hat trick in CSI's opener, Martorano scored twice in the come-from-behind win at home over Old Westbury. The sophomore struck first at the 73-minute mark, creating a turnover and marching in the rest of the way for a point blank shot to make it 2-1. Later, with the score knotted at 2-2, Martorano saved her heroics for the 86th-minute, blasting in a short range shot off of the foot of freshman Melissa Gelardi, to give CSI the improbable win.

Against York College, Martorano scored two goals inside of a minute. At 2:18, she converted another Gelardi cross to put CSi on top 1-0, and 37 seconds later, CSI's Natalie Tombasco forced a turnover and fed a ball to Martorano who was left open for the tally. Martorano followed up the second half in much the same way, scoring 10 minutes in to put CSI up 5-0, before the team rolled to an 8-0 win.

Martorano now has 24 goals in 19 career games, good for 5th on CSI's career goal-scoring list.
