Patriot League Release
Â
BETHLEHEM, Pa. – After a big week for the Lehigh men's soccer team in which the Mountain Hawks secured a postseason berth, junior midfielder Jamie Luchini has been named the Patriot League Offensive Player of the Week, as announced by the league on Monday.
Â
Luchini had a hand in three of Lehigh's four goals in the Mountain Hawks' 1-0-1 week as Lehigh secured a spot in the Patriot League Tournament for the first time since 2011. The Wexford, Pa. native finished the week with four points that helped Lehigh to a 3-1 win at Colgate and 1-1 double-overtime draw against defending Patriot League champion No. 23 Navy.
Â
Luchini assisted Lehigh's lone goal against the Mids to help the Mountain Hawks pick up a point against the defending league champs. He scored Lehigh's first goal at Colgate in the 27th minute to spark the Mountain Hawk offense and also assisted the game-winning goal to lift Lehigh to its first win at Colgate since 2006. This is the first Offensive Player of the Week award of Luchini's career.
Â
Senior keeper Ciaran Nugent earned honorable mention recognition for the league's Goalkeeper of the Week award. Nugent made 12 saves in Lehigh's two games, including a career-high nine stops against No. 23 Navy.
The Mountain Hawks have already secured a spot in the Patriot League Tournament and Lehigh closes out the regular season at Holy Cross Saturday at 5 p.m. A win in Worcester would secure home field advantage for the quarterfinal round of the tournament on Tuesday Nov. 11.
