WEEK of: OCTOBER 1-7, 2007
For the first time in his career, freshman midfielder NABIL WAHBI (Saddle Brook, NJ/Dickinson) is the NJCU Men's Athlete of the Week after he scored the first three goals of his collegiate career, while starting only his second and third games, in a 2-0 week for the Gothic Knights (10-3). He scored on three of the four shots he took and all four shots were on goal.
In NJCU’s 6-0 win over Keystone College on October 1, Wahbi scored twice in the decision. At 71:01 of the second half, Wahbi, making his second career start, notched his first career goal and point when he was dragged down in the box, then buried the ensuing penalty kick in the right side. Just 3:36 later, Wahbi scored again knocked in a pass for a 5-0 lead.
In NJCU’s 6-1 win over Maritime College on October 3, Wahbi equaled the fourth fastest goal to start a game in school history when he put the Knights ahead 1-0 just 29 seconds into the game. It was the second time this season NJCU had opened a game with a goal in under 30 seconds. The win helped NJCU reach double figures in victories for the eighth consecutive season and the ninth time in the last 10 years.
Wahbi put the Knights ahead when after consecutive passes drilled home a one-timer. It was Wahbi’s third goal of the season.
