LEWISBURG, Pa. - Bucknell women's soccer sophomore forward Krista Lee Gentile (Haledon, N.J./Immaculate Heart Academy) was named Brine Offensive Player of the Week by the Patriot League office on Tuesday. The league honor is Gentile's third of her career and is the first for a member of the Bucknell squad this season. As a freshman, Gentile was a two-time Patriot League Rookie of the Week.
Gentile helped the Bison to a victory in its lone contest last week, as Bucknell defeated Saint Francis (Pa.), 3-2, for its fourth straight win. She scored the first goal of the match just 4:29 into the contest against the Red Flash and later notched the deciding goal on a penalty kick in the 58th minute.
Against Saint Francis, Gentile tallied five of the team's 11 shots and has notched at least one point in seven of the Bison's nine matches so far this season. She set a new single-season best by with her 16th point of the year and is currently tied for 11th on Bucknell's career points list and tied for 10th on the career goals list with 13.
The Bison will look to match a program-best five straight victories tonight at home against Cornell on the Varsity Soccer Field at 7 p.m.
