PHILADELPHIA – Marti Sanabria and Tiago Lima-Bittencourt named the Drexel Dragons of the Week, presented by Rothman Orthopaedics, for the week of August 25th–September 1st.
Marti Sanabria, a member of the field hockey team, totaled three points in Drexel's season-opening weekend. The senior put the Dragons on the board in the 13th minute against Central Michigan with an unassisted strike before assisting Valentine Van Hellemont in the 28th minute to make it a two-goal lead at halftime. Sanabria finished with six shots in the 2-1 victory in the Dragons season opener.
Tiago Lima-Bittencourt, a member of the men's soccer team, factored into both of Drexel's goals in its 2-1 win over Northeastern in the home opener. The junior set up the first score in the 25th minute, delivering a cross into the box that led to Will Starker's finish. Just over four minutes later, Lima-Bittencourt found the back of the net himself, capitalizing on a deflected ball that bounced off the crossbar and in. The junior was named CAA Offensive Player of the Week for his efforts.
