Sinai, N.Y./St. Anthony’s) and Corey Curnutte (Waterford, Mich./Detroit Country Day) each netted his fourth goal of the season and Joey Kuterbach (Kingwood, Texas/Kingwood) recorded his sixth shutout of the year as the Bucknell men’s soccer team posted a 2-0 win over Saint Francis (Pa.) Wednesday evening at a soggy Varsity Soccer Field. The Bison, who have lost just once in their last nine games, improved to 6-4-4, while the Red Flash fell to 6-7-2.
O’Brien put Bucknell up 1-0 with a diving header at the 16:09 mark. Matt Hittson (Radnor, Pa./Radnor) put the ball into play off a free kick and found O’Brien wide open on the right side of the goal. It marked O’Brien’s second consecutive game with a goal and was Hittson’s first assist of the season.
