LEWISBURG, Pa. - Senior co-captain Ori Adrabi scored two goals as the Bucknell men's soccer team won a pair of games last week to improve to 4-5-1 this season. For his efforts, Adrabi copped honors as the Lewisburg Hotel Bison Athlete of the Week.
In the first match of the week, a 2-0 shutout of Rider, Adrabi scored the second goal of the game in the 67th minute to seal the victory for the Bison. Adrabi took a quick pass from Corey Curnutte right in front of the net and knocked the ball past the Broncs' goalie.
In Bucknell's second game of the week, a 2-1 triumph over Lafayette that vaulted the Bison into a second-place tie in the Patriot League standings with the Leopards, the West Hills, Calif., native scored his career-high third goal of the season with just 3:30 remaining in regulation to give the Bison the victory. The score was the first game-winning goal of the senior's career. He has scored seven goals in his 63 career games.
With the two goals last week, Adrabi climbed into a tie with Jonathan Hemmert for second on the team in goals with three, and he rose to third on the squad in points with six.
After facing Patriot League foes three of its last four contests, Bucknell returns to non-league action Wednesday, Oct. 13, when it travels to Loretto, Pa., to face St. Francis (Pa.) at 3 p.m.
